Finally | made up my mind to tel

to open the door. I had no trouble
after that.
ssNext morning we assembled and
then stepped in an elevated train,
which took us to the livestock show,
where we saw some very good live
stock. That night we were enter

we saw a good movie.
Tuesday was known as the pack

went to Armour's packing plant. We
watched them butcher and cut up
cattle. They butcher sheep and
calves at the rate of 1000 an her.
I'VE also watched the makingH
lard and oleomargarine. We wo0k
into the cooling DON and saw many
halves of pure clean beef.
we saw the big power plant they
have now, and the small one they
began with, which shows the increase
in their business. Armour's have
one of the biggest power plants in
the world.
Visited Field Museum
"Then came the banquet. We sang
and yelled; men from the plant gave
some very interesting speeches. Then
We went to the stockyards and say
many carloads of very nice stock.
Next we went to Wilson & Co. for
dinner, which was welcomed, as we
were very hungry. After dinner we
went to our headquarters and to bed.

the New Field museum, where we
saw almost every kind of animal.
Also many different stones, minia-
ture buildings and palaces, very an
cient armors and clothes, fire arms,
musical instruments and other inter
esting articles. From here we walk
ed to the Chicago board of trade and
heard them buying and selling grain.
They took us to the Central Y. M.
G.. A. for luncheon.
eve went through part of Mar
shall Fields, inc of the largest de-
partment stores in the world.
tAbout $3.50 p. m. we took an ele-
waited train to Sears Roebuck & Co.
Here we saw the making of paper and
the wrapping of packages and a
great deal of machinery. Later they
served dinner and gave a radio con-
cert.
Thursday was known as the Nc
Cormick and cold storage day. In
the morning we went to the McCor-
mick works and saw the making of
the Mccormick binder from the melt
ing pot to ready for use. Then we
had luncheon with the compliments
of the International Harvester com
pany.
Visits Fulton Plant
From here we went to the Fulton
Cold Storage company, where we
had our last banquet in Chicago.
"The next day, Friday, I said
goodbye to my new friends and start
ed for home"
Of the visit to the Fulton plant
says:
eve went to visit the cold storage
plant about 1880 p. M, December Z,
1922. AS we entered we were sep
arated into small groups of about Is
a gentleman from the plant was
leader. He took us in an eleva-
or and up we went to the top of the
building. We walked out on the
'oof and looked down on the streets.
People looked about the size of mos

bout 5 below zero, into another
DOM 8 below.
I'VE went into the apple room
7here many thousand boxes of apples
yere stored; from there to the room
here many small fruits were stored.
We were very surprised to find them
S hard as stones and as cold as ice.

hat each egg was tested by an ex-
erienced tester and that IL dozen
ere put in each cas- by other men.
