Maybe she's the 8th wonder of the world. Seven days a week she gives that innocent-looking, refreshing, satisfying, powerfully nutritious food and drink . . . called MILK. Real milk, from, Mother Nature and the cow, is recognized, as one of the world's most nearly perfect foods. There's the ever-important 'protein and calcium. There's Vitamin A and C, thiamine, riboflavin , . . all recognized as important to health. In a society where all costs keep rising, the dairy farmer has not been spared. Nor have the costs of all those working to make fresh pasteurized milk completely available. And in the con- tainers and quantities people want. It's also a fact that, ounce for ounce, fresh milk continues to give more true value, and more true value for your money, than any other food you. can name. The cow may be the 8th wonder of the world. Think about that. 114 00 0 THE ONTARIO MILK MARKETING BOARD —speaking for the dairy farmers of Ontario Ad.
