Butter Maker Promises Faster Churning and Tastier Butter
A letter from May 25 1879 touts Gilt Edge Butter Maker as cutting churning time by half and raising output 6 to 10 percent. It claims stores pay 3 to 5 cents more per pound and that butter appears creamery quality, with testimonials from neighbor dairy farmers. H C Bryant endorses the product and requests samples for Butter Improvement Co Buffalo NY.
