Book excerpt: Excerpt from Margins on Fluid Milk in the Duluth-Superior Marketing Area, 1947-48 Approximately million quarts of milk were sold monthly in the duluth-superior marketing area by 14 handlers whose records were available for this study. Of these, 10 were located in Duluth, 2 in Superior, and 2 in Cloquet. With two exceptions, the handlers generally confined their distribution of milk to the cities in which they were located. One of the handlers located in Superior also sold in Duluth, whereas one Duluth handler also sold in Cloquet. Thus, ll handlers sold milk in Duluth, 2 in Superior, and 3 in Cloquet.
