Pork Packing.

We shall also in connection with the above
continue the packing business. as heretofore, and
cut all lots offer ell Of 100 hogs and upwards and
make cash advances, if desired. This, with the
facilities we have for slaugttering. will enable
persons TO drive here with safety, as they can
either sell or pack.
Our prices will be as low az at any similar
establishment on the Mississippi river and the
same as last season, and no extra charge will be
made al any time for advance in salt or barrels;
blu. our list prices will be rgidly adhered to.
Our stock of Barrels and Sal, is large. and
amply sufficient to meet the demand. We have
also added TO the house Steam Boiler and Tubs
for stcaming out the Lard from the offal, which
is usually thrown away and is an entire loss to
the owner, but which we shall render for his BEN
eft
Having experienced help and good house, we
have no hesitation in saying we are prepared tc
do Justice to any lots entrusted 10 us, and that
persons who have hogs will find Bloomington a
good point to drive TO for packing or selling
We will pay a premium oft dollars for the
heaviest hog delivered at our Pork House the
coming Winter.
