The Sauk Centre herald., 1924-11-13

The Swift & Company branch To-
Gated in ,Sauk Centre, ground for
which was broken about six weeks
ago, was completed by Contractor
Joseph Heraly, Tuesday, November
4th. Under the contract Mr.. Heraly
was given until November 18th to
complete the job and was to pay a
heavy penalty for every day over the
18th it was necessary to complete the
construction. By the same token he
was to receive a bonus for every day
the structure was complete prior to
November 18th. The result is that
he has not only finished his work in a
manner highly satisfactory to the
company, but will receive a snug
bonus above the contract price.
AS stated exclusively in the Herald
several weeks ago, the new structure
is 1872 ft.x64ft., including a feeding
station of 64ft. 80 #. which has a
15ft. ceiling, the rest of the building
being one story high. 1t is located
just west Of the Great Northern park,
south of the tracks. The building,
when completed and equipped will
represent an investment of about
$4,000 and was constructed under
the supervision of R. Horst, construc-
ton superintendent for Swift & Com
pany, from Chicago.
Harry F. Schmidt, the man who
is responsible for building up the
Swift & Company branch in this
city, will contiue to be the active
head of the local plant. L. P. Lovik
of Chicago has been sent up to take
the position of Chief Clerk and F.
w. Beeler of Creston, Iowa, will be
the general foreman. This gentle
man is a married man and his fam
lily will arrive in Sauk Centre as soon
as the Anton Nelson bungalow in the
south part of the city, is completed.
Lawrence Dolson, who has been Mr..
Schmidt's right hand man in Sauk
Centre for several years, will con-
tinue in this position in the new plant.
The gentleman is an all round player
and will be used in the departments
where he is needed most.
The new plant has capacity to
handle 10000 head of live chickens
which will be milk fed for a period
of from seven to ten days before they
are killed. Heretofore all chickens
bought by the Sauk Centr plant have
been shipped alive but from this time
forward all chickens will be killed be-
fore they are shipped.
On the first of November the Sauk
Centre plant became a branch work
ing directly out of Chicago. Here
tofore Sauk Centre has been direct
ed by the South st. Paul branch. The
new arrangement means that every
thing shipped out of Sauk Centre in
the future will go in carload lots and
the poultry will be killed, dressed,
graded, boxed and barrel packed
and shipped to points designated by
the Chicago office.
1t is not the intention of the Com.
pany to dress turkeys because the
farmers can prepare their turkeys
at home at profit. 1t is expected
that at least 35 people will be en-
ployed in the Sauk Centre branch for
a greater portion of the year, with a
pay roll Of about $4,000 per week
Mr.. Schmidt informed the Herald to-
day, that wherever possible, local
help will be employed.
The new plant will also have a

Wilder 10 ton automatic ice machine
with refrigerator room for four
cars of poultry. 1t is not the inten-
ton to store poultry at the Sauk
Centre plant only sufficiently long to
properly cool, chill, freeze, and pre-
pare for shipment.
There has been some fear ex-
pressed that the residents in the vi
entity Of the Sauk Centre plant would
be somewhat nconvenienced by the
odor arising from the plant. Eir.
Schmidt informed the Herald that
these fears are groundless because
the latest model ventilating system
has been installed and the refuse
from the poultry will be cleaned
daily and the coops kept in a sanitary
condition. The fertilizer will be
placed in galvanized iron contain
ers and hauled away at regular inter-
walls.
The new plant was opened for the
reception of live poultry Monday.
Last weeks Herald carried half
page announcement that they would
be ready to receive poultry at this
time, and up to Wednesday evening
over 5000 head of live poultry had
been delivered. Butchering of the
poultry will start within a week, as
soon as the poultry received is in a
condition for the market. AS stated
above, all poultry handled at the
Swift plant will be put on milk diet
from seven to ten days before being
butchered.
The Sauk Centre branch is the
45th one operated by Swift & Co.
located in the United States where
poultry is received and dressed. Many
of the plants have at least twice the
capacity of the Sauk Centre plant.
The Herald understands that much
Of the produce bought at the smaller
places in this territory will be shipped
to- Sauk Centre and prepared for mar
ket and then shipped out in carload
lots.
A one-ton truck has been pur-
chased for use of the Company and
at least another will be added in the
spring.
Sauk Centre people have only a
faint idea of the value of the Swift
plant to the city and to the farmers
Of this community. The Herald edi-
tsr recalls that when there, was talk
of the Swift Company starting a
branch here in the early part of
1917, there was much fear expressed,
the claim being made that the prices
for eggs and poultry would be de-
moralized. The result has been the
exact opposite, because Swift & Com
pany have stabilized the poultry and
egg market of this section of Mime
Sota.f
The business has shown substan-
tial increase each year, and in spite
of lower prices prevailing for eggs
and poultry in 1923 farmers received
more money than in any proceeding
year, the gross amount being paid by
the Sauk Centre plant exceeding
$250,000. With the increased facili-
ties afforded by the new plant it is
fair to estimate that the business will
be at least doubled within the next
twelve months and there is strong
probability that within a five year
period the gross turn over of Swift
& Company in Sauk Centre will ex-
ceed a million dollars.

Minneapolis, Nov. 12-The Henne-
pin county grand jury today begun
an investigation of the manner in
which campaign funds were solicited
for Senator Elect Thomas d. Schall.
Federal authorities also received
complaint that a bootleggers' slush
fund had been raised by Schall sup
pOrterS.
Henry Tiegan, secretary to Sen
ator Magnus Johnson, who was de-,
feated by Schall, made complaint to
Floyd Olson, Hennepin county attor-
ney, declaring he had the names of
seven violators of liquor laws, who
were approached by campaign fund
solicitors. These seven are prospec-
tive witnesses before the grand jury.
Olson was the farmer-labor candidate
for governor, defeated by Theodore
Chrlstianson, Republican.
The federal prohibition depart
ment, it was learned, filed complaint
with Lafayette French, United States
district attorney, who may also be
called before the Hennepin county
grand jury.
French refused to comment today,
except to say that no arrest had
been made. He referred inquiries to
the federal department of justice,
where it was said no formal COM
plant had been made.
Senators LaFollette and Wheeler,
independent candidates for president
and vice president, were advised of
developments by Senator Johnson's
friends.

An early. train from Washington
brought to Boston large delegations to
express the mourning of the execu-

Secretaries Hughes and Weeks, as
signed to represent the cabinet were
among these arrivals. Yesterday Cap
tain Adolphus Andrews, naval aide to

behest of President Coolidge as his
personal representative, called on the
family of Senator Lodge, and tender
ed the Presidents sympathy. Special
cars attached to the federal express
from Washington early today brought

They found the city's outward ex-

ordered closed during the services.

BUSES BRINGING CITY
AND COUNTRY TOGETHER

The bus as means of trans
portation is bringing rural COM
munities like Sauk Centre, much
closer to the Twin Cities. The
wide-a-wake businessmen of
Minneapolis and St. Paul, ap-
preciating this condition, are en-
deavoring to reach out to bring
more people to the cities to
trade with them.
About month ago the Her
aid received a contract from a
large mail order concern for
more inches of advertising to be
used in year than has ever
been used by any business man
in Sauk Centre in a 12-month
period. This contract carried
higher rates than Sauk Centre
advertisers are charged.
On Armistice Day a PROPOSE
tion came to the Herald to.
handle 120 inches per week of
Minneapolis advertising for
period Of one year, and the price
is 20 per cent higher than that
charged by the Herald to local
merchants.
The Twin City business hous-
eS who are experts along the
lines of publicity appreciate the
value of newspaper advertising
in a paper of the Herald's stand
! ing. These concerns spend many
thousands of dollars annually
in catalogue advertising but they
have arrived at the conclusion,
and sensibly so, that no adter-
tising brings as good results as
newspaper advertising, as a big
percentage of the catalogue
and other advertising matter
sent out by mail, finds speedy
resting place in the wastebasket,
while the community newspaper
is read by every member of
the household. 1t costs a Min
neapolis business concern at
least $15 90 in postage to COW
er the territory adjacent to
Sauk Centre with circular adver-
tising to say nothing about the
original cost of the printing of
. the catalogue. + {
It has not been the policy of
the Herald in the past to con-
tract for advertising that came
in competition with Sauk Centre
businessmen.
Motor bus transportation is
going to become a serious prob
lem for the merchants of rural
communities.

HAD SLIGHT STROKE

Thursday morning of last week
M. P. Nelson motored from Sauk
Centre to Little Sauk. While trans
acting business in the bank at that
village he suffered a slight paralytic
stroke which affected his left side.
He was brought to Sauk Centre and
placed in the hospital where he re-
NAMED for several days until he had
recovered sufficiently to permit him
to return to his home.

The Farmer Labor candidate for
governor, Floyd Olson. a compare
lively young attorney, is making a
very active campaign. The Republ1-
cans on the other hand, determined
to keep the Farmer-Labor party out
of the State house IL 1t possibly can
be done, are straining every nerve to
prevent his election. Olson has
trained with the Socialists who con-
troll the city council of Minneapolis.
Fight Socialist Innuences.
The Republicans. and some Of the
Democrats, too. are averse to seeing
this element gain control Of the State
government. Olson was formerly a
Democrat, by the way. Christianson,
the Republican nominee for governor,

speeches His difficulty lies, how
ever, in that he is not we'll known

Representative Schal, blind mem

nominee, contesting with Senator
Ma2nus Johnson and Farrell Mag
nus Johnson is not so popular in the
state AS he was before he went to
Washington. Too many voters seem
to feel that he has accomplished
nothing for the farmers, and that he
is something of a joke. The fact
of the matter is, it is said here, La
Toilette is stronger in the State than
Senator Johnson, and Johnson will be
assisted by the national ticket rather
than help it
La Follette's supporters are claim
ing that the State will go for the
Independent Progressive ticket by
from $4,000 TO $4,000. The Republi-
cans are not yet putting their hopes
into figures. They know they have
