nue., Chicago, the traffic congestion
would be reduced at least 80 per cent
and they could do much more bust

carry twice as much as a wagon OF
equal size, occupies one-half the road
space, and can get from one place to
another much more rapidly"
Probably more business Is done in
a day in South Water street than in

states surrounding Chicago. During
business hours this street appears 10
be a solid mass OF vehicles and 1t is

FACTS ABOUT THE cUDAHY
PACKING COMPANY.

The following facts about one OF
the greatest OF our industries, the big
Cudahy Packing Company, are taken
from a printed statement by Mr.. +.
A. Cudahy president of the company:
The Cudahy Packing Company be.
gan business In 1887 under the name
of The Armour. Cudahy Packing Com.
pany, when Michael Cudahy, Edward
A. Cudahy and Philip ID. Armour of
Chicago purchased small packing
plant In South Omaha, Neb. In 1890
Michael Cudahy sold his interests in
the firm OF Armour a. Company and
purchased the interests of Mr.. Ar.
mour in The Armour.Cudahy Pack.
ing Company, the name Of which was
subsequently changed to The Cudahy
Packing Company. On October 10,
1915, the company sold all its proper.
ties to the present company organ.
ICED under the laws of Maine. The
company has grown to be one of the
largest meat packing institutions in
the country, with main plants Tin
South Omaha, Kansas City, Sioux
City, Wichita, Memphis, East Chi
cago, Indiana, and Los Angeles) and
1O7 distributing branch houses in 92
of the principal cities of the United
States.
Within twenty.eight years the bust
ness and property of the company
have grown from single plant, EN-
ploying 20 operatives, with an annu'
.I Of IN nj ~
a floor area of l05 acres and cold stor-
age floor area of 80 acres with a
slaughtering, curing and preparing ca
pacity for $4,000 hogs, 3,l0O cattle,
and 1900 sheep per day, employing
about 5000 men with an annual pay.
roll of si,137,000; in addition the COM
pany now has some 1900 other en-
ployes who receive upward Of $4,000
900 as salaries and wages, making a
total annual payroll of about $S,137,'
| 900.
Thus from crude slaughtering es-
tablishment producing only about
100000 annually, The Cudahy Pack
ing Company in twenty.eight years
has developed an extensive system of
modern factories with an annual turn
over of about sl34,O0O,0O0, including
all varieties OF meats-fresh, cured
and canned-soap, beef extract, glue
| glycerine, and other by.products.
The markets for the company's
products have constantly improved
and broadened. Consignments re
| quire about 40 cars per day, and are
distributed not only throughout this
country, but in Europe, South Africa
China, Alaska and South America
About per cent of the company's
gross sales are in foreign countries
The large growth in the company's
assets and business has been financed
chiefly from accumulated profits.
The properties are in good physica
condition and we'll equipped for eff
cient operation. There is every rea
son to expect continued growth of thu
bushes and large margin OF prof
over and above the interest and sink
