    1919 booklet titled "A Chemist's Story of Milk" by Edward C. Callaway, M.S. Callaway was a professor of chemistry at North Pacific College and former city milk chemist, Portland OR. Information from the booklet's foreword page: "This is to tell the story of milk. It is a personal message to milk consumers. For some folks it may be an introduction to milk. For eight years the writer has followed the milky way that leads into a large city. He has intimate and specific knowledge of the production, handling, distribution, and use as human food of 20,000 gallons of milk a day. As milk chemist for Portland, Oregon, he has personally analyzed more than 35,000 samples of milk and cream. He has carefully studied the sanitary and nutritional problems of the so-called "Milk Questions." Leaving this public service for other fields, he is impelled to write this to those whom he has tried to serve." Booklet measures approximately 3.50" x 6.00" with 14 pages.
