Cousins, owner of the 00usinS Dairy, 'rho Ontario Milk Marketing Board announced 4 that the basis price of raw Milk will increase to the d4ries, OdrillarY 10, 1906, This increase is in keeping with the Board's plans to provide higher earnings for the Ontario Dairy Fermers. As a result, Ontario , Dairies are faced, with the necessity of a price increase at the consumer level from 1 to 3 cents per quart. Farmers state that these in- creases are long overdue. They say prices of all items they puie chase bare gone up and that they must compete mut increased levels of wages for farm, labour. Spiralling costs of labour and distribution have been felt by us, Mr. Cousins, said. No one likes raising prices, but with increas- ing costs to dairies, we are forced to raise our prices by two cents per quart at the present time. As costs are being advanced, substantially to the dairies he explained, we can no longer absorb them. To remain in bus iness, we have no alternative but to raise the prices of our products. Dairies point out that because milk is available in larger con- tainers today, the average per quart price is lower than the single quart price was several years back. alt••••••• IMPORTANT Notice To Al!
