and cowsheds were carried out during the year.
Of the 62 premises from which milk is retailed in Ilford, 12
are branches of one firm, 3 another, and 2 another. Of the remainder
5 are retailers in a large way, 5 retail from dairy shops or
stores, 10 from general grocery shops, and 5 from restaurants.
Eight are retailers in a small way with rounds and also provision
for storage of milk, while 12 are registered for the sale of sterilized
bottled milk only.
In three of the premises pasteurising plant has been installed

There are six wholesale dealers in milk. Of these, one is also
a retailer. One of the six has no cows on the premises, the remaining
five keep cows.
