It is difficult to ar- range a plant economically and conveniently unless it can be ap- proached from at least two sides. A plant on a corner lot with an alley in the rear is desirable, but is seldom obtained in the down-town section of a city without great expense. The high valuation of down-town property in many cities would be prohibitive for the location of a milk plant. In small cities, how- ever, the extra advertising value and the cash trade gained by having the plant in the down-town section would often warrant such a loca- tion. The cost of getting milk to the plant is an important consideration. If the bulk of the milk is received by railroad it may be advantageous to locate the plant near the railroad station, but if the milk is handled.
