4 Including bonus to patrons. 
6 During recent years the dairy products marketed by the company have been carried a little farther 
on the road leading to the consumers than formerly. Because of this fact additional services have been 
rendered, additional expenses incurred, and an increased price charged for the products sold. It is obvious 
that the producer can not receive so large a percentage of the price paid by the retail establishments as 
that paid by wholesale. The figures in the above table indicating per cent for the years since 1920 are not 
comparable with those for the preceding years. 
e Excluding unexpended patrons' bonus, $14,840.
