As / made an exit from the college
my attention was drawn 10 a very ex-
tensive meat display made by the steele

Gated i'm the McMullcn block, almost

Impression as | made an entrance was
that never In all ms travels h1d | seen
a meat market furnished oil u n TOval
style. | learned from Mr.. Broad, the
treasurer Ot the company. that this
new concern was DOING even u much
greater business than expected and that
the patronage OF the best people OF
your city was gwen this firm. The
Steele company slaughter and dress alI
their own meats. and therefore are en-
abled CO give their patrons better and
more delicious meat. and at lower
prices. tian what most competitors can
do. ! noticed almost every kind of
tCothsOme, Juicy, domestic meat in ex-
IstenCe on the counters. and
also saw great many Va
rietIgs Of extra fine prepared
dcEcacies such as sausagcs, etc. and I
am forced % confess | never saw a
more elaborate display of this descrin-
ton. Tiers upon tiers of lard and
butter and -four products also was
seen, all of winch are of the very best
grades. It j. really astounding t0 learn
Of the great quantities of meat con

Der OF pounds of meat dressed weekly

would be- 80 large that it would seem
almost incredible How fortunate resi-
