Melody—the word itself suggests beauty, harmony and everything that it should be. And what more fitting name for a farm lying right at the town’s edge in this fertile and beautiful valley of scenic loveliness. And what better objective would justify another dairy farm in this community than making Lowell’s own dairy the outstanding institution of its kind in Michigan.

Organization—This modern dairy began serving the people of Lowell in January of this year. Its owner is Frank A. Madigan, whose years of experience in a successful oil business has shown that he understands the art of giving the public what it wants. Moreover, Mr. Madigan believes that in marketing dairy products, which so vitally affect the public health, it is the duty of the producer to safeguard the health of the community by every method known to modern science.

The state law has established rigid requirements in the production and delivery of milk. At Melody Farms, every precaution is taken to insure a sanitary product prepared under sanitary conditions, and delivered as a fresh, healthful food. Electric milkers are used, and weighing, cooling, capping and bottling are done by automatic machinery, so that during the entire process the milk is not touched by human hand. All containers, after washing are carefully sterilized by live steam.

Melody Farms Dairy is consistently under the inspection and direction of both state and Kent County Medical Milk Commissions. The cows are examined for tuberculosis and contagious abortion, and every rigid test is made to insure quality and purity. Even the employees are subject to health tests by local physicians. Nothing is left to chance.

Satisfactory service is stressed at Melody Farms, and the cheerful "good morning" of the delivery boys has as happy an effect in starting the day right as the radio in the Melody Dairy.

There are seven men employed at Melody Farms. The Farms lie at the western edge of Lowell on M-21 and consist of 187 acres. It was formerly the David Mange farm.

It is the intention of the management to supply their customers with the best quality milk, cream, butter and cottage cheese. In addition with the best quality milk, cream, butter and cottage cheese. In addition, it is planned to supply fresh eggs, poultry and orange juice. This latter innovation is in line with the policy of service to its patrons. Another service is "Susie cow milk" for infants, whose feeding requires the milk from one cow.

Mr. Madigan extends a cordial invitation to the public to visit Melody Farms, where rigid inspection of tested herd, sanitary handling and service is making Lowell’s own dairy, the outstanding institution of its kind in Michigan.
