® Flavor

Pacific Milk geta the fine flavor
mentioned in so many letters from
its native xichness and the pro-
tection of its purity. The Fraser
Valley herds are unexcelled, and
from the moment the milk is
taken from the cows until it is
finally sealed, every stage of
Pacific Milk is carefully guarded.
Nature so preserved needs no
other help to be good.
