Modern Science in
Food Production
Armour & Co.'S New Oleoma1garine
Plant at Chicago q Model Of
Scientific Construction.

Chicago, Feb. 13-(Special).-Ar-
mour & Co.'S new oleomaRgarine
plant, now in full operation, has been
pronounced the finest building of its
kind In the world.
This new plant is a revelation in
architecture from roof to basement
1t has been constructed for the ideal
production of q food where absolute
cleanliness is vitality important and
this feature has been carried out in
minute detail.
From the outside, the building is
similar in appearance to all others
where the greatest amount Of floor
space must be secured for the area
covered, and there is nothing remark
able about It to identify it from other
structures used for manufacturing
purposes The moment one enters the
doors, however, this similarity van-
ishes, for the entire interior is lined
with glazed tile of greenish shade
This has been done so the interior
can be washed with het water to re-
move every particle of dust, dirt,
waste matter, or other impurity.
Modern ideas of cleanliness have
been carried out to degree which a
| few years ago would have been con-
sidered extravaganza. For instance,
no air is permitted to enter the work
| ing rooms until it has been thorough
ly washed, filtered and cleansed
through system of special ventila-
ton which renews the entire air con-
tents Of the plant every eight min
utes.
The delicious flavor of Veribest
Oleomargarine and Nut-Ola is due
largely to the care taken in manufac-
ture and the high quality of all IN
| gradients. The milk in which Vert
, best and Nut-Ola Margarine are churn-
ed is brought from the dairy districts
of Illinois and Wisconsin under direct
and constant supervision of the Chi
