Big Fish Swallow Little Ones
When I was growing up heard a
great deal of talk of how the Arm
ours and the Swifts and the Cudahys,
the big packers of Chicago, were es-
tablishing branch houses in Omaha,
Kansas City, Denver and other places
and were freezing out the little fell
lows. They established branches in
the various towns thruout the diff
ferent states and the butcher who
had been doing well and rendering
as good a service as the rest of the
butchers usually found that he could
not compete with any Of the big
packers who established a butcher
shop or meat market in their town.
used to hear them say that when
the Armours opened a meat market
in a town they very soon froze the
other fellow out, that they paid more
for beef than the other fellow could
afford to, and they sold their pro-
ducts cheaper. They would give
him the option of selling out at a
fair price or Of being forced out by
their competition. 1t was often re-
marked that after they froze the
other fellow out the prices went up.

Vaquero Lost His. Job

Of course the old cowboy could no
longer ride out and chase in a steer
to butcher and he and lot of other
fellows who had been operating the
cattle and meat business in southern
California speedily hunted for some
other place to operate or for some
other vocation. I have no doubt
that they and their children we're
condemning the packers and brand
ing them as an unmixed evil, but all
the while new and progressive

hipped them by trainloads, every

shipped them by trainloads, every
car iced to keep the oranges at
certain desired temperature. They
went further and shipped the oranges
into New York City and loaded them
on steamers and sent them across the
sea. All of these refrigerator cars
had to be sent back again and it was
quite a problem to make them earn
their transportation from Chicago or
New York back to Los Angeles, they
had to haul so many of them empty.
The packers wired to Chicago to
load an experimental refrigerator car
with choice beef and ship it to Los
Angeles on express time. They
opened up meat market in Pasa-
dena, did some advertising of the
project, told what day the shop
would be open, unloaded their car
of refrigerated meats and supplied
the trade that day according to their
announcement. 1t was real sport
for those packer. fellows and they
went about it with all the interest
that is manifested by school boy
when he has a holiday to go fishing.
Those meats simply ripened in tran
sit and the people of Pasadena had
the best meat they ever had in their
lives, and that was not all. Other
cars were shipped and they kept
right on coming thru and the packer
fellows were not only having fun
but making money. OF course, the
old meat market had nothing to do
any longer and they closed up, the
laugh being on them instead of on
the packers.
There We're Other Places
There were other places in south
ern California besides Pasadena, and
the people in those towns wanted
something besides the kind of beef
they had been getting. The packers
went about organizing the meat
trade with as much interest and en-
thusiasm as they had done in Pasa-
dena. They reasoned that il one
carload of meat could come thru
nicely by the refrigerator plan,
trainload could come thru, or as
much as they desired, so while the
Citrus-Fruitgrowers association was
shipping oranges to Chicago, the
packers were shipping meats to
southern California, and it was a
help to each of those lines of bust
ness to have the other line in opera
ton.

longer ride out and chase in steer
