There is little objection to the

now in the butcher shops OF Tucum-
carl. Everything S sanitary.
The boys are sparing no expense
to comply with the meat inspec-

both to the meat shop and the
consumer. rything is neat
and clean and the cutters are
wearing the white linen coats and

II was impossible for the county
