Louis, st. Joseph, st. Paul and Fort
Worth. The same methods of purchas-
ing cattle, sheep and hogs prevail at
all cities. At Chicago, which is the
largest market, there are about two
hundred and fifty buyers, representing
packers, local slaughterers in various
cities, and exporters. OF this number,
less than a score are employed by
Swift & Company.
The farmer ships his live stock to
Chicago, consigns them to a commits
sion firm at the Union Stock Yards,
who sees that they are unloaded and
put in pens. Then the buyers inspect
them, make their offers to the commits
sion dealer, who accepts or rejects as
his judgment dictates. All buying must
be finished at o'clock each day, and
the buyer must pay spot cash. If the
commission man has no satisfactory
offers, he can hold his stock over to
the next day. He gets his commission
from the farmer, and naturally strives
to get the highest possible price for his
client.
Wholesale Distributing Houses.
A wholesale distributing house is a
giant refrigerator, but instead Of
shelves there are trolley rails, from
which are Suspended hooks to hang the
/ carcasses Some of the houses cost as
much as a hundred thousand dollars to
build and equip. AS a rule they are of
pressed brick, the insides being lined
floor, walls and ceiling-with highly
polished hardwood. The floors are Gov
cred daily with fresh sawdust and all
are kept spotlessly clean. There are
over three hundred of these wholesale
houses in various cities of the United
States, and the public is always wei
come to visit them.

Margin of Profit.

The Industry is operated on a mar
gin of less than 2 cents to each dol
lar of sales. Swift & Co. do not sell
at retail. Their entire output is sold
at wholesale to many thousands of
dealers in various parts of the world.
There are hundreds of local slaughter
ers throughout the United States, who
buy their live stock in competition
with the packer doing an interstate
and international business. Likewise
the packer must sell in competition
with the local slaughterers. There are
no secret processes in the industry, no
complicated and expensive factories,
and as live stock can be purchased in
almost every hamlet and city, and the
preparation Of meats is simple in the
extreme, local slaughtering will long
remain a factor in the production Of
fresh meats and provisions.

restore the family fortune. They
argued that the medicine which was
SO good for their woman friends and
neighbors was equally good for the
women of the whole world.
The Pinkhams had no money, and
little credit. Their first laboratory
was the kitchen, where roots and
herbs were stepped on tho stove,
gradually filling a gross of bottles.
Then came the question of selling
it, for always before they had given
it away freely. They hired a job
printer to run off some pamphlets
setting forth the merits of the medi-
cine, now called Lydia E. Pinkham's
Vegetable Compound, and these were
distributed by the Pinkham sons in
Boston, New York, and Brooklyn.
The wonderful curative properties Of
the medicine were, to a great extent,
self-advertising, for whoever used it
recommended it to others, and the de-
mand gradually increased.
In 1877, by combined efforts the FAM
lily had saved enough money to COM
mence newspaper advertising and from
that time the growth and success of
the enterprise were assured, until to-

hold words everywhere, and many
tons of roots and herbs are used annu-
ally in its manufacture.
Lydia E. Pinkham herself did not
live to see the great success of this
work. She passed to her reward years
ago, but not till she had provided
means for continuing her work as
effectively as she could have done it
herself.
During her long and eventful expe-
rience she was ever methodical in her
work and she was always careful to pre-
serve record of every case that came to
her attention. The case of every sick
woman who applied to her for advice
and there were thousands-received
careful study, and the details, includ-
ing symptoms, treatment and results
were recorded for future reference, and
to-day these records, together with
hundreds of thousands made since, are
available to sick women the world
over, and represent vast collabora-
ton of information regarding the
treatment of woman's ills, which for
authenticity and accuracy can hardly
be equaled in any library in the
world.
With Lydia e. Pinkham worked her
daughter in law, the present Mrs.
Pinkham. She was carefully instructed
in all her hard-won knowledge, and
for years she assisted her in her vast
correspondence.
To her hands naturally fell the
direction of the work when its origina-
tor passed away. For nearly twenty
five years she has continued it, and
nothing in the work shows when the
first Lydia E. PinlSham dropped her
pen, and the present Mrs. Pinkham,
now the mother of large family, took
it up. With woman assistants, some as
capable as herself, the present Mrs.
Pinkham continues this great work, and
probably from the Office of no other
person have so many women been ad-
vised how to regain health. Sick wo-
men, this advice is "Yours for Health"
freely given if you only write to ask
for it.
Such is the history of Lydia E. Pink
hams Vegetable Compound; made
from simple roots and herbs; the one
great medicine for women's ailments,
and the fitting monument to the noble
! woman whose name it bears.

In 1843 she married Isaac Pinkham,
builder and real estate operator, and
their early married life was marked by
prosperity and happiness. They had
four children, three sons and a
daughter.
In those good old fashioned days it
was common for mothers to make
their own home medicines from roots
and herbs, natures own remedies
calling in physician only in specially
perience many of them gained won
critics of various roots and herbs.
Mrs. Pinl1ham took n great interest
in the study of roots and herbs, their
characteristics and power over disease.
She maintained that just as nature so
bountifully provides in the harvest
fields and orchards vegetable foods of
all kinds; so, if we but take the pains
to find them, in the roots and herbs
of the field there are remedies ex-

it was her pleasure to search these out,

Chief of these was rare combina-

and herbs found best adapted for the
cure of the ills and weaknesses pecu-

hams friends and neighbors learned
that her compound relieved and cured
and it became quite popular among
them.
All this so far was done freely, with.
out money and without price, as a
labor of love.
But in 1873 the financial crisis struck
Lynn. Its length and severity were toe
much for the large real estate interests
of the Pinkham family, as this class
of business suffered most from
fearful depression, so when the Centen
NAL year dawned it found their prop
erty swept away. Some other source
of income had to be found.
At this point Lydia e. Pinkhan's
