You Can’t Eat Meat 100 Miles Away Preparing meat is only a part of Swift & Company’s usefulness. The finest meat in the world wouldn’t do you any good one hundred miles away from your table. Swift & Company efficiency has made it possible to place complete lines of products in the smallest and most remote communities. To be sure the work is done well Swift & Company, through its branch houses and car routes, brings the meat to the retail dealer for you. Swift & Company lays out car routes covering towns—big, little, medium size —which are not served by a Swift branch house. Salesmen find out in advance what is wanted by the dealers in every town. They are followed by refrigerator cars loaded with retailers’ orders, which are delivered at each town—fresh, clean, and sweet—once or twice each week. Swift & Company operates a large number of car routes like this, from four teen distributing plants. This is a necessary and natural part of the packers’ usefulness. It fits into the industry in an orderly, effective way. It makes better meat cheaper from one end of the land to the other. Swift & Company, U. S. A.

When one is lacking in strength and endurance, when good health is wanting, when phyiical power is at low ebb, it is impossible to accom plish oue’s work.
