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 dol lars to build and equip. As a rule they are of pressed brick, the insides being lined-foor, walls and ceiling with highly polished hardwood. The floors are covered daily with fresh saw dust 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 al ways welcome to visit them.

Margin of Profit.

The industry is operated on a mar gin of less than cents to each dol lar of sales. Swift & Co do not sell at retail. Their entire output is sold at wholesale 10 many thousands of dealers in various parts of the world. There are hundreds of local slaughter CTS 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 factor in the production of fresh meats and provisions.
