Questioned about the selling of our, dairy produce, the Government Dairy I'Jxpert, Mr Kinsella, said: "No doubt we ought to have a, better system of selling our produce. Instead of selling to different buyers every year and having our best brands hawked about the British markets we should try to adopt the Danish method which is an ideal one, and to j;et our butter on the same markets, sold through the same channels, and placed on the same consumers' tables year after year. In that way we should establi li a permanent demand at enhanced | rices. People will buy a brand of In iter 011 whose quality they oan re'v and givo a bigger price for it atliei' than experiment with brands th. y know nothing about. In fact, Home buyers* have l;ild me that when customers are able to secure year after year a choice brand to suit their tastes they are quite willing to give an extra penny a pound for it in preference to risking jtaking an inferior quality at a reduced price."
