Many fair visitors in Phoenix-as we'll as visitors to the fair-are talk ing advantage of the generous in- vitation extended them by the Ari- zona Packing company, to visit and inspect at their leisure the splendid establishment of the local company, five miles east of Phoenix on Tenn pc road.
 The invitation is still open to visitors, who are interested in see ing how the meat they eat is slaughtered, inspected by the gov ernment officials, chilled, packed, cured, and otherwise prepared for the consumption Of the public.
 Women especially, since they are usually responsible for the excel lence of the meals served in their households, are evincing interest in the way the Arizona Packing plant has solved the question of prepar- ing meat and it's products for the retail market.

Each Department Head An Expert Tn His Line

Only men of the very highest ability, with years of experience behind them In the packing busI- ness, have been employed by the Arizona Packing company. Many of them have been garnered from the big plants of Swift and com pany or Armour's, in the middle west. Others are men who are we'll known locally for having been in yshe meat market or cattle industry NFor many years. A number of them have taken large shares of stock in the Arizona Packing company.
 The department heads of the plant are as follows: T. J. Raphael, superintendent of plant; D. "A. Mason, head time keeper and re- seiving clerk; w. C. Dell, hide de. partment; J. T. Galloway, cures and sweet pickle department; L. Anderson, master mechanic, and in charge of power and refrigerating plant; Phil ToYrea, assistant gem eral manager.

Sunker7 Gardens to
 Be Added Feature

When anyone mentions experi- mental gardens, the first thing that occurs to the listener is a place where experiments are made with various kinds of plants, a Ia Bur bank, for instance. That is what the reporter thought when Phil ToVrea, assistant general manager of the Arizona Packing Plant, de- clared that the new plant was go- ing to have sunken, experimental gardens, in its big front yard. .... But the local company has some thing different in the way of ex- periments up its sleeVe-the test ing out and demonstration, not of plants, but of the fertilizer used in stimulating the growth of plants. And this fertilizer will come out of the factory of the. Arizona Packing company.
 The proposed .sunken gardens, which constitute one of many in teresting features now being planned by the local company, will be established in the near future.

William NJ. Smith, treasurer of the Arizona Packing company, is the only one of the personnel of the big plant who has not had years of cattle raising or meat market experience and he was elected for the responsible position he holds on account of his wide banking experience. MT. Smith, however be- sides having been a banker at Florence for many years, handled the finances of the Phoenix Wholesale Meat company of Phoenix and is therefore ideally equipped with an all around practical acquaintance with the various phases of the industry of which he has now become so important a member.

Monthly Payroll Of Plant Is OUer
 Half a Million

How great a volume of business Is carried on day by day by the Arizona Packing plant, is faintly suggested by the figures of the monthly payroll of the company's employees. Each month from $50,000 to $6o, 900 is expended on wages and salaries alone, by the great local meat manufactury.
 The organization of the company extends beyond the huge local plant, and takes in branch markets in every city and town of the state. Few persons have awakened to a realization of the stupendous or ganizstion and the vast amount of business that is being carried on by the Arizona Packing plant.
 In the plant, with its muItifoId departments, 216 men are now en- pioyed, and the number is being gradually increased to meet the growing demand placed upon the company. The office employs 30 men and women. The company maintains seven buyers covering the southwest as we'll as a number Of saIesmen and representatives in ell parts of the state and outside Arizona.

Meat Sold Locally
 The first two carloads of meat left the Ar.Zona Packing company Satur- day, October 23, one for Prescott. the other for Ray. The following Monday carload was shipped to Bisbee, and on Tuesday cars were shipped to Tue son and to Clifton. The cars contained beef, pork, sausages, and various cuts of meat
 The loading dock whfeR runs the entire length of the east side of the building, with a spur track bes.de it, admits of the loading of six freight ca-s at once. Great care is given to the ic- ing of these cars, since everything de- bends on keeping the meat at a uni formly low temperature, from the time it first enters the chilling room on the third floor of the plant, until it leaves the car at the local market,

 A preliminary amount of 5000 pounds of ice is then placed in the car, the car is allowed to remain closed for 24 hours, or until the temperature has been reduced to a temperature of 34 degrees Fahrenheit. second load of ice is then placed in the car, it is ready for the meat.
