Swift & Company

Louis. &C. 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. or this number.
less than a score are employed by
Swift a Company.
The farmer ships his live stock TO
Chicago, consigns them TO n 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 ut 3 o'clock each day. and
the buyer must p"y spot cash. II 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
