THAT using poor Salt 
for butter and cheese 
was like using poor 
Did You Ever Think 
thread in making up good material into a garment. The difference in cost between using the best 
and the poorest Salt amounts to less than i- 3 oth of a cent per pound on butter, and i-6oth of a cent 
on cheese, and we have seen it make a difference of three cents per pound in quality. 
When Higgin’s Eureka Salt was first introduced many people naturally desired to wait and see 
results. In seven years it has carried off nearly all the honors, and it is now generally admitted 
that it compares with other Salt as refined sugar compares with raw sugar, and the Higgin pro¬ 
cess in Salt manufacture was as great an advance as the Bessemer process was in making steel. 
IT ADDS MILLIONS EACH TEAR to the value of American dairy products, and the 
following figures show that this is appreciated by American butter and cheese makers who do not 
believe in the principle of using poor thread to make up good material.
