What Grade A Milk
Means To You!
There’s a definite difference in milk and
Grade A dairy milk. To qualify for the de-
livery of strictly Grade A milk sanitary in-
spections are made regularly by qualified
authorities on milk standards. To meet re-
quirements for the operation of a Grade A
dairy it was necessary, to make many ad-
justments. The Pecan Dairy has always op-
erated on the idea that its customers were
entitled to the best. The best has been and
will continue to be delivered daily. When
you want dairy products don’t say milk-
say Grade A milk)
