Walla Walla Dairymen Hike Milk Prices
Facing the rising costs of animal feed, local milk dealers met to establish a new, higher price schedule for the city.
A meeting of a number of Walla Walla dairymen and milk dealers was held yesterday afternoon at the office of J. M. Douglass, resulting in a new schedule of prices being put into effect as follows: Pint, $1.25; quart, $2 and gallon $8. Prices charged by some dairymen have been somewhat lower than the new schedule. The action was taken owing to the high price of feed.
