MORRIS & COMPANY SAY ARTI.
GLE DID THEM AN INJUSTICE.
There was an article published in
the Daily Ardmoreite Of June is con
cerning the packing plant in this
city owned by o. G.. Warren While
the article did not mention any other
particular packing plant yet it sug-
gested that the local concern used
much greater care in the care OF
meats than other concerns. To the
statements made in that article the
government inspectors have taken
exceptions and have written us con
corning thees assertions, and the Nor
ris Packing Company OF Oklahoma
City has also written us. claiming
that the article was an injustice to
them and to their business. In the
publication of the article We had only
one desire, and that was to say
good word for the local plant and
for Mr. Warren, who has done
great deal of work and spent much
time and money to perfect plant
here that is Il credit TO the city
While we appreciate the local plant
we also have a pride in all worthy
institutions of the state. The Morris
Company at oklahoma City is use
full institution to the whole state OF
Oklahoma and We would many times
rather publish matter that would be
of service to them than to throw any.
thing in their way for the reason
that il IS conducted under the strict
regulations of the government, it
helps TO build up the industries of
the state and to furnish employment
for hundreds of our workers. In this
connection. we take pleasure in pub
fishing in full the letter which was
sent us by the Morris people:
oklahoma City, July 3, 1911.

Dear Sir:
"a copy Of your paper Of sunday.
June 18th, containing an article on
the local cold storage plant in your
city, has been brought to our atton-
tion. This article. while it is spler. .
did write up Of your home concern,
was so manifestly unjust to MS. and +.
the rigd government inspection az .
our plant that We feel that If YOU
thoroughly inspected our plant, and /
knew the system Of inspection which .
the government maintains, from the .
time that live cattle are bought, until .
the product is actually loaded on our /
refrigerator cars, you would not hes
itate TO set your readers right abou.
our business. The fact that We have
spent a large amount of money in
establishing a stock Yards and pack
ing center here in oklahoma City. is .
known to YOU, and in
small way, We have spent some funds
in your own city and expect 10 spend
more there.
Now. in order that You may have
an opportunity to know the exact
conditions prevailing at our plant. We
will he glad to pay the expenses of .
a representative from your paper to
oklahoma City and return, and when
he arrives here to give him free ac-
cess to our entire plant, and in no
way hinder any investigation which
he may care 10 make We would not
attempt to influence an article which
he would write after such an inspe,-
ton, as We would rely upon your
fairness as a business concern, to
state the facts exactly as you found
them
We are not sending YOU this let
ter in the spirit OF anything but
and while It is not in
tended for publication, we hope thai
II you refer 10 it in any way, that
you will publish it in full. Trusting
10 have the pleasure of seeing one
