What is a Branch
House?
The Branch House is the place in
the packing organization where what
the packing plant does for you is put
where you can use it.
Both are the natural result of
growth and development in the living
thing they belong to.
Swift & Company Branch Houses
are located in distributing centers all
over the country. They are fitted
out with refrigerating equipment to
keep meat cool, sweet and fresh.
Each one is in personal charge of a
man who believes in what Swift &
Company is doing for people and
wants to help do it
They are directed by men who
have spent years learning how to get
better meat cheaper to the places
where it is needed.
Meat is shipped to the branch
houses direct from the packing plants
in Swift & Company’s refrigerator
cars, in such quantities that it can be
disposed of while fresh and sweet
Your meat dealer comes here to
buy your meat for you —unless some
one else can treat him better then
we can.
So you need the branch house in
order to live well; and the branch
house and the packing plant need
each other,in order to be useful to you.

NO DANGER OF PRICE
FIXING, WILSON WIRES
That there is no cause for concern
over the price fixing for cotton is con
tained in a telegram from President
Wilson to W. J. Harris. It seems,
from reading the telegram, that the
investigation as to price fixing for
cotton was started to stablize the
market.
The Telegram from President Wil
son is as follows:
“The White House,
“Washington, D. C., Sept. 6.
“William J. Harris, Atlanta, Ga.
“No cause for alarm about the
price of cotton. The plan is merely
for an impartial inquiry to ascertain
whether agreements would be service
able in stabilizing transactions.
(Signed) “WOODROW WILSON.”
This telegram was sent by the
president in response to a telegram
of inquiry sent to him by Mr. Harris
as soon as the reports came out of
Washington a few days ago that the
government was likely to fix a price
on the South’s great staple.
COUGHED FIFTEEN YEARS
Coughs that hang on and grow
worse in Lhe night and weaken the
sufferer are relieved by Foley’s Honey
and Tar oftener than by any other
remedy. R. F. Hall, Mabe, Va., writes
“For 15 years I was afflicted with a
troublesome bronchial cough and irri
tation of the throat. Foley’s Honey
and Tar relieved me; after taking
one bottle the cough ceased and has
not returned.” No medicine stands
higher as a family remedy for colds
for children and grown-ups. Car

Mr. Marion Holcomb, of Nancy, Ky., says: “For quite
a long while I suffered with stomach trouble. 1 would
have pains and a heavy feeling after my meals, a most
disagreeable taste in my mouth. If i ate anything with
butter, oil or grease, I would spit it up. 1 began to have
regular sick headache. I had used pills and tablets, but
after a course of these, I would be constipated. It just
seemed to tear my stomach all up. 1 found they were
no good at all for my trouble. I beard

THE FOUTH LIBERTY LOAN
The campaign for the Fourth Lib
erty Loan begins September 28 and
closes October 19. While the amount
has not yet been announced, it is gen
erally conceded it will be for a larger
amount than any of the preceding
loans. The American people, there
fore, are called upon to raise a larger
sum of money in a shorter length of
time than ever before. There is nted,
therefore, for prompt action—prompt
and efficient vork and prompt and
liberal subscriptions.
We have' a great inspiration for a
great effort. The news from the bat
tle front inspires every American
heart, not only with pride and pa
triotism but with a great incentive to
do his or her part. There is no shirk
ing, no shifting of the individual bur
den, no selfishness by American sol
diers in France; there should be none
here. We are both supporting the
same country and the same cause —
our army in one way, ourselves in an
other. Theirs is the harder part, but
at least we can do our part as prompt
ly and loyally and efficiently as they
do theirs.
