Possibly we are partially to
blame for the lack of under
standing which exists in re-
gard to our business. In the
past, knowing that attacks
upon us have been based on
tissues Of half-truths, adroitly
handled innuendo and misin-
formation, we may have for
gotten that the public were not
in full possession of the true
facts.
Armour and Company have

into methods and operations.
And, in the past few years, be-
cause of so many ex-parte hear
ings, we have voluntarily put
our case before the public.

ing, we have met the mislead-
ing headlines through which
