Half a Century Ago
Half a Century Ago, every community could
be supplied to some extent with locally dressed
meat, drawing on live stock raised nearby.
Now two-thirds of the consuming centers,
with millions of people, are one to two thour and
miles away from the principal live-stock produc
ing sections, which are sparsely settled.
The American meat packing industry of
today is the development of the best way to
perform a national service.
The function of providing meat had to de
velop accordingly. Those men who first grasp
ed the elements of the changing problem created
the best facilities to meet it large packing
plants and branch houses at strategic points,
refrigerating equipment (including cars), car
routes, trained organization, profitable outlets
for former waste which became the nat
ural, inevitable channels for the vast flow of
meat across the country.
If there were a better way to perform this
necessary service, American ingenuity and
enterprise would have discovered it, and others
would now be using it.
During 1918, Swift ft Company has earned
a profit on meats (and meat by-products) of less
than 24 cents per dollar of sales too small a
profit to have any appreciable effect on prices.

twelve years, and also owns a valu

My stomacn has given me so

trying to get some relief. My food
didn't seem to digest at all. and my
stomach was in such a bad tlx that

diet of the very lightest things, but
neither that nor anything else helped
me. Finaly my back got to hurting

tired and wornout that I would have
to lay off some days and rest up. I

"When 1 saw about Tanlac in the

I was ready to try anything there
was a chance of giving me some relief
So I got a bottle and soon started up

forty-five pounds, which gives me a
gain of seventeen pounds, and mekes
me heavier and stronger than I have
been since my troubles started. My
appetite is enormous, everything I
eat agrees with me, and all the troub

entirely. My back stopped hurting
me by the time I had finished my
first bottle, and I'm never bothered
any more with constipation and head
ache. My strength and energy has all
come back to me, and I can work
every day and feel none the worse

thing good to say for it, too, as it
certaiuly is a wonderful medicine.
Hardly a day passes but what I tell
somebody how it has helped me."
