McLean: Said there were tv/o ways to prevent the 

 slaughter of dairy products in summer. One was, to make 

 a good article, that would sell quick; the other, was not to 

 make any at all. 



Several calls were then made for C. C. Buell, to which

 Thought the subject a very important one. One year ago 

 the experiment of cold storage was tried in Chicago and
