The evening world., 1919-01-23

With an increase in cattle production, encour.
aged by the Food Administrations high prices,
had to come further increased facilities for pre-
pairing and marketing not only the meat, but the
hides, hoofs and all other parts of the animal To
meet the influx of the hundreds of additional cattle
daily, we were compelled to erect a new building
in ninety days, build additional coolers, tanks to
handle the rendered products, dryers, buildings to
treat and handle casngs additional oeo kettles
hide storage warehouses, etc.
With the return to normal conditions, these
facilities expanded during the stress of war
to provide stock:growers with necessary outlets,
and to furnish food in adequate quantities for
both Army and civilian needs-are still at the
service of the public. They represent perma.
nent investment, assuring permanent outlet and
thus permanent supply of best foods at true
value prices.
Today, with Europe looking to America as its
most certain source of supply, together with our
own country to be fed, Armour and Companys
size and ability to handle large volume most eff
ciently and economically becomes of greater i'm.
portanCe than ever
The evening world., 1919-01-23

Some one has wisely said that production
waits on distribution" In other words there can
be no incentive to stock-growers to produce more
livestock unless adequate outlets are provided to
keep pace with the production. When greater
yield is created on the farm, the outlet must be
widened at the market to care for it.
Amour and Company are large because the
livestock industry is large. Obviously the packing
industry must keep pace with the increase of live
stock and populaton-growth. AS herds increased,
the Armour organization kept step with them
New plants were erected in the centers of new
stockraising regions; improved operating methods
were adopted; more refrigerator cars were built to
carry the food
Then, with the outbreak of war, the wisdom of
this development had chance to prove itself In
spite of labor shortage, disrupted railway service,
and scores of other difficulties, Armour and Com
pany and other similar concerns were equipped to
instantly meet the War Departments call for food
In addition to shipping over hundred carloads of
meat day, or seventy-five million pounds
month to the Army and Navy we have taken care
OF civilian requirements in the usual way.

charge or bleeding Is suspicious. Sores,
cracks, l%acerntlons. Jumps and ulcers
which do not heal. and warts, moles or
blrthmarks which change In size, color

unless treated and cured. Persistent
Indigestion In middle life, with loss OF
