PEOPLE BUYING
CHEAPER MEAT
Packers Find Evidence That Public Is
Tightening Up Its Purse Strings
For NecesSaries

CHICAGO. June 6-"There is evi-
dcuce that the people are pulling their
purse strings together" say the bulletin
Of the Institute of American Meat Pack
ers. summarizing the meat and livestock
situation for the month of May, even
with respect to essential commodities. and
are trying earnestly to get the most for
their money.
For years consumers had shown a
marked preference for the so-called choice
cuts-steaks. roasts. fancy bacon, light
pork chops. This preference was main
tanned despite repeated assertions that
forequarter meats which include such
cuts a. the chuck. brisl,et and plate. We're
high in nutritiye value and paIatable
when properly prepared Ii persisted
even after the Industrial reaction began.
But last month there was Il reeersion
to the heavier meats on the part of many
consumers. There was a strong demand
on the Wholesale trade for heavy. skinned
hams, and for heavy, dry salt backon cuts,
and picnic hams
~ better trade for the less expensive
cuts is a Salutary thing from the view
point of producer. packer and consumer
alike. 1t tends To distribute the demand
over all cuts from the meat animal, and
makes for more economical and stable
merchandising.
