meat prepared for consumption at the
local plants. Vegetarians may find
some encouragement from the fact
that all told only 1909 calves were XIII
ed here in one year.
Big Outside Shipments.
1t must also be born in mind that
the total number of animals slaugh-
tered here annually includes the large
shipments of meat which Stole ships
outside the state to his customers.
Butchers who kill their own supply
usually use the City Strengthening
plant. and this number is included in
the total list of animals slaughtered.

Shipments Small.
Strange as it may seem, the num-
Der of animals shipped into Richmond
is exceedingly small. The number
Wayne county animals slaughtered is
scarcely taken into consideration by
the local packers. On the other hand
large numbers of animals are shipped
out of Richmond to the Pittsburg and
indianapolis stock yards.

Local Packing Plants
Provide Meat Supply

Although Richmond is in close prox-
unity to Chicago, the biggest meat
packing center in the world, and also
is near Cincinnati and indianapolis,
where large packing establishments
are located, almost all the meat pur-
chased by housewives comes from the
two local packing plants-Anton Stole
and Sons and the City Slaughtering
Plant.
More than 1900 cattle. 1900 calves,
10000 hogs and 800 sheep are slaugh-
tered annually at the local packing
plants for home consumption and for
the interstate trade in which Anton
Stole and Sons specialize.
During the months from May to
September very few hogs are killed
at either plant, owing to the fact that
the housewives OF Richmond, accord
ing to the packers, use vegetables and
fruit mainly during the hot months.
Heavy sales of hogs are recorded in

Vacant lots, covered with a rank
growth of weeds in early spring, and
three months later thoroughly
equipped modern enterprise-this Is a
sample of modern American business
undertakings.
When Peter Kuntz, the Dayton lum-
Der king, decided last May that Rich
mond needed another lumber yard and
set about perfecting plans to enter the
retail field, the northwest corner of
North West Second and Chestnut
streets was a stretch of unoccupied
ground.
Today it Is the site Of a modern lum-
be- yard. Many lumber houses are old
buildings remodeled to make them
suitable for lumber storage. The build
ing erected by the Richmond Lumber
company was built expressly for the
lumber business. Every stick Of lum-
Der is accessible without moving 9th
er pieces.
Time Brings Changes.
In the old days, according to Thomas
Tarkleson, manager Of the company, a
man desiring to enter the business
piled lumber in an old shed and kept
his books on the end of a barrel.
The office of the new company will
compare favorably with the private
office of bank president.
Under the old methods much of the
lumber stock was kept indoors and the
remainder exposed to the ravages OF
weather. All the stock of the Rich,
mond Lumber company Is under shell
ter 80 that 1t will not deteriorate.
The location Of the building, accord
ing to the manager, appeals to farm
ers who have teams that shy at rail
road trains. A wagon can drive into
the building, load up and drive away
without the team being in sight of an
engine.

The company is capitalized at $10,.

been in charge Of the lumber yard own

Kuntz, Jr., vice president; John A
Payne, secretary, and Thos. Tarkle.

The Richmond Lumber company is
one of sixty in Indiana and Ohio, own

of the country.

examination of the records of cattle

shows, on an average, that there is lit

Little Mutton Sold.
Persons who have studied the sale
of meat in Richmond have wondered
why so little mutton was sold. Retail
dealers in meat say there is little de-
mand for it. and the conclusion has
been reached that the pallets of the
citizens do not banker for mutton The
