Dairies were mainly stocking one type, usually packeted butter ; 
but the co-operative group of shops was more or less evenly divided 
between one, two and three types. 
In general, the higher the class of trade of the shop, the greater 
the number of types stocked. 
Country of Origin. 
Butter is imported into the United Kingdom through three main 
channels; Australian and New Zealand butters chiefly through 
London ; Irish butter through the ports on the West coast ; and 
European butters, mostly from Denmark, through the ports on the 
East coast. 
Table 5 shows the main ports of entry for Australian, New Zealand, 
Irish Free State and Danish butters during the year 1929. This 
table forms the basis of Figure I.
