B E H I N D Y O U R BOTTLE O F B O W M A N M I L K (FIFTH IN SERIES) · Every shipment of Bowman Milk must pass rigid inspection for sweetness, flavor and richness before it is accepted. Every bottling plant has its own complete laboratory, and not until the milk is scientifically tested and approved there, is it permitted to pass on to the pasteurizing units. That's just another example of the extra care that makes Bowman Milk so extra good.
