Why a Packing Company Pays

Packing companies everywhere are paying big divi-
dends to the stockholders the plain slaughter house
in the old red barn to the mammoth packing houses in Chi
They pay because every article product is sold
for big price Consider his1he demand for meat for
the table is greater than the demand for the hide for
leather or the hair for uphosterng purposes etc. or the
bones for fertilizer and glue the blood is saved and
products il great demand form fact the demand
exceeds the supply There is market waiting today for
our output We don't need to create marke-we don't
The masses want what we will produce YOU the person
now reading this will eat Portage Packing meat and YOU
ARE you will be creating for yourself dividends
There is no better investment than packing stock.
The Medina sentinel. [volume] (Medina, Ohio) 1888-1961, 1918-11-08

The main thing now, is to get started The plant is
well under There has been enough stock sold to COM
pete the building We selling stock for working capital
There is still limited amount of stock to SELL If you
are business manf you professional man-if you
are radesman and intend to do anything for the bet
tement of your future let explain PLAN If doesn't
appeal to you-if we can't show you that pay big
dividends dollar invested in Portage Packing Stock
you are not out one penny
We know positively that soon as the FIRST pig
squea it will be the signal for the stock to advance we
don't believe there is better investment offered anywhere
Why should there be? Anybody see that with market
the demand will always be greater than the supply
The Medina sentinel. [volume] (Medina, Ohio) 1888-1961, 1918-11-08

We doubt if at any time in Akrons history there has
been offered opportunity to invest in project which
had at the start promising future the Portage Pack
ing Company; because Akron needs packing plant.
"a packing plant is not dream to be realized only in
case the public takes fancy to it, 1t necessityan
absolute necessity Il doesn't take expert business man
TO figure that oun fact it doesn't take any figuring at
ALL It's plain to be seen that as long as the public eats
meat packing plant win do business
Akron could have supported and paid big dividends on
packing plant ten years ago And think how Akron has
grown during that time With the growth of Akron came
many industries and with the industries came thous
ands Of people.
The Medina sentinel. [volume] (Medina, Ohio) 1888-1961, 1918-11-08

Now, since Akron is destined to grow and then grow
some that the demand for meat is going to
become greater and greater Therefore Akron can no long
er depend upon other cities to supply her with meat She
must have her own source Of suppshe will have thous-
ands and thousands of mouths to feed three times day.
She must be independent Of other cities She will be indie
pendent soon the Portage Packing Company starts
operations and that won't be long,
If the Portage Packing Company were in operation to-
day there would be market for every of meat it
could produce.
It isn't question of finding
market the market is here-right
here in Akron-waiting for the meat.
