Title: Should Midsummer Urgency Be Met By Midsummer Appeal?
Description: Articles from the NY Times and the New York Press are reproduced on this 1911 postcard printed by the New York Milk Committee's Bureau of Municipal Research. "Asks $10,000 To Aid Babies," from the Times, highlights the efforts of Commissioner Lederle to increase city appropriations for the service of milk depots. "Why Milk Stations Are Worth While," from the NY Press, compares infant mortality statistics from 1911 to those of the previous year, noting the crucial role played by milk stations in the current year's reduction of deaths. A portrait of a healthy baby and a list of "Babies' Rights,"almost all of which deal with milk, are found on the postcard verso.
