It was originally produced in 1939 but its contents are still of very real interest today. Two points should be made however. There is no longer a 'National Mark' for cheese - a new system of grading has been introduced - and Stilton cheese is now made in creameries. Also laid in is a colour postcard (No 7a in a series published by the National Milk Publicity Council) entitled: "How cheese is made from pure fresh Milk". A lovely copy an exceedingly uncommon with these attributes. Seller Inventory # 355490716621
