Without this national distribution Armour and -Company cculd not haye paid to stock-raisers in Omaha's territory over $72,000,000.00 as they did last year. Without a country -wide outlet, the maintenance of Armour's Omaha plant with its 3,100 employes, whose wages amount , to $4,050,000.00 annually, would have been impossible. - Only, one twenty-fifth of the total production of theArmour plant here is sold in this territory The balance is marketed elsewhere all over the country.
