For Many Years and Added Much
to Business Life Of Bismarck.
The following news item appeared
in 1911:
Graded Very High
Captain Clark of TT. Lincoln, who
has charge of the inspection of meats
for the Fort Lincoln commissary, re-
ports that the meats supplied by Bis
marcks veteran merchant were of
higher quality than meats supplied
by the eastern packing houses. The
explanation is made clear in the
manner of preparation. Young stock
of the best beef type is grain fat
tened and kept in the best shape,
which produces a smaller portion Of =
bone and waste and more fine tex
tured solid flesh. Then with great
care used in butchering and modern
methods Of handling insures as fine
meats as are procurable on any mar
ket. The Gussner Packing house was
found to be among the lpost sanitary
in the state, as reported by the in
spector.
Facilities Improved
Our facilities for the proper care
of livestock and proper handling Of
meats have been greatly improved
and expanded in the past Is years
when the above was printed. Seiec-
ton and sanitation was never stress
cd more than at the present time.
We believe that business is senai-
tive. It goes only where invited,
and stays only whore we'll treated.
