1T CAME TO STAY.
Refrigerated Meats and
Their Popularity.
lhey Are in Universal Demand All
Over the United States and in
Foreign Countries.

g: The progress made in the preservation
of meats within the last half century would
prove interesting reading if faithfully de-
lineated. And in the evolution of methods
e. in this direction the conflict waged by the
old against the new system shows, in con-
;nection with other facts, that human ad-
vancement has ever been made in the face
OF strong opposition.
The United States. Australia, New Zea-
land. the Argentine Republic and Russia.
In addition TO their enormous home con-
sumption, have been shipping refrigerated
meats long distances abroad for many years
with complete success and the trade is an
nually increasing. The most eminent
authorities in botA hemispheres have pro-
Eounced meat, so preserved. wholesome
and nutritious, and the health statistics
of the localities in which it has been most
widely used have shown the correctness
of their conclusions.
New York. Kansas City. Oma ha, Chi
seago, ST.. Louis. Cincinnati, and many
other Eastern cities have reached a high
state OF perfection in their methods of pre-
serving meats. and. in every case, the in
PRODUCTION Of the refrigerating process has
been bitterly opposed by the Old-time sys-
TEN. But the story OF the contest be-
tween the cotton-gin and digital labor
between the steamlCom and handlOom,
between the Hoe perfecting press and the
old-time handpTess has been repeated.
The flttest has survived. Refrigerated
meats are in universal demand throughout
the East. and il is safe 10 estimate that
fully 95 per cent of the inhabitants of the
. largest cities of this country, the million
aire and the lab0rer alike, use refrigerated
meats exclusively. 1t is only a question
of few years until they will be generally
adopted by residents on the Pacific Coast

The management pays special atten-
ton TO the absolute cleanliness of all its

with reference to sta ements made in
recent issues of the press of this city the
company desires to inform the public that
no meat is put in cold storage immediately
after dressing. and at no time is the meat
frozen Ia the coolers, the temperature
ranging from IS TO 4S degs Fahrenheit
Rigar moTtis takes place before the meat
