RETAILERS CAN'T BUY DIRECT
objection Is Made to Provision IN

Commerce protesting against the

Mr.. Ward objects to this provision

ITO establish harmonious relations
between the manufacturer, 5obber and

enabled to have fresh meat at all sea-
sons. In hot as well as In cold wealth
err. On Friday of each week beef
is killed and cut up into 20 pieces;
each piece being numbered. Each per-
son takes a different number each
week. so that, at the end Of 20 weeks
each one has had a whole beef. The
beeyes are furnished by the members
&c the club and the meat Is sold at
from z to IL cents per pound; the
owner retaining the hide and paying
~ for the killing and cutting. The
hitting and delivering is all done at
j central point in the neighborhood.
The beef is hung up In cool cellar
Friday night and cut up for delivery
Saturday morning
The plan cnmmends itself as ono
well worthy Of imitation by farmers
all over the country, as afferding a

which these benefits may be secured
