case on this lake, 1t kicked up a terrible
sea. My boat was q light affair and
wasn't calculated to stand much rough
water and l thought the best thing |
could do was to land on the Island and
wait till the blow was over. l started to
head the boat for the shore, but got into

Cheap Meat for the People.
TooMMuHIoATBD.l

ICoMMUHIoATBD.
Shoemaker & Co. is o firm becoming
widely and favorably known In thit
city, because IL furnishes the cheapest
and OF the same time the best meat
They deal altogether in Chicago dressed
beef, corned beef and salt perks and
| fresh mutton. Their wholesale and
supply store ia at los East Fourth street.
Here they receive their meat direct from
Chicago. 1t is brought in refrigerator
cars only four days on the way from
Chicago. 1t IL claimed that all beef
should remain about four days after
DutchertDg before 1t 10 used on the table.
The beef comes in. excellent order, as
sweet and fresh as when started from
Chicago.
In this state 1t is weighed on large
scales and rolled on an iron bar TO
refrigerator room where the tempera-
ture is reduced to 40 degrees cold
enough to preserve almost any kind OF
meat for weeks. From here the beef,
pork and mutton are whelesaled to
dealers, but besides this the firm has
six other stores located in different
parts of the city; one at 314 King
street; one at 221 West Eighth street;
one at 1891 Market street; one at Taylor
ana Poplar streets; one at Ninth and
Spruce, and one at Reed and jackson
streets. Such distribution of retail
stores brings these meats within the
reach OF all.
The difference In prices of this Chi
cago and home-dressed beef Is about
one'third. The beef comes from young
steers exclusively. Sirloin steak is sold
Tor IL cents; rump steak, 10; round
steak, 12x; rib roast, 1917 chuck, and
III; stewing and soup, 6 aud cents.
In salt perks the prices are no less re-
duced. Smoked hams are ~ cents per
pound; smoked California hams, ST.
smoked bacon, 8; dried beef, 10; lard, 81
pounds for 20 cents.
In mutton the prices are surprisingly
low. Legs OF mutton are only 12I5
cents; breasts, 8; loins, 1917; chops, Ia;
racks, 10, and stewing pieces from to |
. cents.
MIR. Shoemaker says he ia confidentl
That the Chicago beef will come into
general use In this city. 1t is butchered |
IN Chicago, the great cattle market of
the nation, and shipped from there here
cheaper slaughtered than it can be
brought on the hoof and In q much
better condition. He says there is never
my bad meat amongst it. The preju-I
lice, he says, is fast wearing away and |
'he sales are gradually increasing.
