Extract of Letter just received regarding
ALBERTA BUTTER
Every housewife is interested in Clean, sanitary food for the table. One of the most essential
requisites in the manufacture and handling of food products is cleanliness. This is particularly
true of butter because of its susceptibility to contamination, decent developments lend added inlet -
est to the subject of cleanliness in the handling' of food.
Cleanliness in handling the cream, both before and after passing through the true pasteuriza
tion process; cleanliness in handling the product, and above all. absolute cleanliness in the sui
roundings, are requirements which must obtain in order to secure a pure, clean, sanitary pinduct
fit for human consumption.
It has been the aim and ambition of the officers of litis company for years past to, at the propet
time, construct a plant for the manufacture of our product that would he an "IDEAL, Oreameiy,
"up-to-date” in every particular in efficiency, clean*,lincss and sanitation, and we are proud that wo
arc in a position at this time to be able to slate that the desired end has been accomplished.
Our new building Is constructed of hollow tile, with numerous windows, transoms and ventillat-^
ing devices of the most modern pattern, tints giving us an abundance <>f light, and clean, fiesh ait.
our floors are of concrete, all sloping to a drain which carries off. till water immediately after being
used; our machinery is run by water power, thereby cutting out all the dust incidental to a sti am
operated plant; our walls, churns, receiving and pasteurizing vats are all white enamelled, all win
dows and doors are thoroughly screened, and, as a consequence, everythin* in and about the plant is
tis spic and span as a new pin and very easily kept it' this sanitary condition.
Operating under those clean and sanitary conditions and surroundings, with a butter mnkei in
charge who has years of practical experience behind him and with aide and competent assistants, ac
cepting nothing but clean, pure and wholesome cream, and pasteurizing by the latest and truest
processes known, we are aide to offer to the public in our "ALHKin A brand of buttei, a product
that has NO superior in the Northwest. If there is any manner possible in which to produce a better
or more wholesome, cleaner or purer grade than our “Al.BEHTA" "no germ butter, we do not know
what. It is.
The success attained in introducing AT.nETlT A nUTTEIl last winter assures us that every state
ment in the above letter is absolutely true and has our endorsement.
We have photographs of every department of the creamery which are on display at our store.
