GARDINER BEEF COMPANY.


Certainly, as a great packing center.
the pre-eminence of Chicago Is 80 uni

reach OF controversy. The largest

metropolis, and the one that leads all
others In the beef packing world, Is
that OF Phil. Armour. whose name has
become by-word in every city
throughout America, and many In
Europe. The Gardiner Beef Company

ago, by its present manager. Mr.. F. S.
Thornton. 1t has rapidly grown and ex-
banded. handling about 10 carloads OF
meats, and the same number Of pro-
visions, every month. The office and
cold storage, located at 50 Water street.
is model of completeness and every
facility is at hand for preserving meats.
The cold storage room is the largest
and best in the State. having eapa-
city of 275 tons Of ice. They receive
from Chicago i'm Armour's own refrig-
orator ears, daily shipments of choice
dressed carcasses of beef. pork and
mutton. They also deal in smoked
and picked meats and provisions.
They have just received $50 bushels of
potatoes, which are Of the finest quail
ity. In this product they supply the
Togus Soldiers Home ali they use. The
cOmpany's trade extends throughout
the Kennebec valley. and large num-
Der of wagons are kept busy in the
principal cities. enabling dealers to re-
ceive the very freshest and best meats
in the market. The rapluIty with
which the business OF the Gardiner
Beef Co has increased is best illus
trated by comparison of the business
now and at its inception. From five
cattle per week at the start, the con-
sumption has steadily increased till.

is a very popular gentleman with the
trade in general, and is highly es-
