Who Travel for The Bee
South Sid
R. C. Howe, general manager of
Armour & Co., speaking of the
expansion' of trade of the Armour or
ganization, Saturday issued the fol
. lowing statement:
' .'"'"Armour & Co. have from year to
year m creased the line of food prod
ucts they have handled until at pres
ent they sell almost every commodity
in the food line."
"From an economic standpoint this
m great benefit not only to the con
1 signer, but to the producer, manufact
urer and retailer, as their system of
distribution has developed to such an
extent that they can handle all of
V these products at a minimum expense
through their branch house system
, sud car route departments in the dif
ferent sections of the country.
"Where they do not manufacture the
food products themselves, but buy
f-om .manufacturers and canners, they
. insist on a uniform product of first
quality, so it will be up to Armour
standard of products in other lines.
"Armour & Co. today are not
only a meat packing institution, but
they are general food purveyors, han
dling all kinds of food products.
"They desire, so far as possible, to
protect the retailer, both in quality
, and price, and their system of adver
tising, which coveres every field in
the United States, is of the greatest
value to the trade.
"Because of the great volume of
business that goes through their or
ganization, it can be readily seen thai
' this increased line of food products
can be handled at a minimum ex
pense." ..
Flag Raising to Be Held

Another Protest Planned
Against Slaughter Houses
A large number of property owners
, living in the vicinity of Twenty-eighth
and M streets, are planning to attend
the meeting of the city council Mon
day to enter a protest against allow
ing the construction of a slaughter
house in the vicinity of their homes,
v 'They contend that the operation of
a slaughter; house in or near the reii
. denci - section would cause property
to .depreciate in value, and would in
.. volve considerable loss upon those
who have been to the expense of im
proving their property.
