R The San Francisco butchers II,

re- The San Francisco butchers use
no ice for their meat, and need none.-
In that dry climate meat keeps long
time without ice, and improves rapidly
as long as it remains sweet. The con
sequence is that the butchers can
keep their meat several days before ex-
posing it for sale, and it is then tender
and in the best possible condition for
the table.
