ton from Consul General Edwards, at
Berlin, referring to a recently established
enterprise in Russia the object of which
Is to supply the British markets with
bacon. The organization Undertaking
this new departure is'knoSvn as the Rus
sian Bacon company, and it has acquired
a valuable concession from the Russian
government, by which it is enabled to
operate on particularly advantageous
terms the slaughter house and curing fac
tory at GriaZa.
Two Great Advantages Over Chicago.
The factory is capable of handling 1900
pigs per week, and is fully equipped with
the best appliances for killing and cur
ing. TRANSPORTATION is guaranteed by
the Russian government, and the COM
pany can deliver its product in England at
considerably less cost for fresght than the
charge between Chicago and Liverpool.
The time also Is SO much shorter that the
bacon can be mild cured giving it a
great advantage in the English market
over American bacon.
