Your car will cost you more
* in the end if you* neglect the
little things when they get
out of order. The little disorders in
the delicate mechanism of an auto-
mobile, if neglected, mean serious
- trouble and big expense ahead.
When your car isn’t acting just right
bring it to us for inspection and ad-
justment. An ounce of prevention
is worth ten pounds of cure whera a
good automobile is concerned.

The Flow of Meat
Two-thirds of the live stock in the
United States has to be raised in
the West.
*
One-half of the consumers of meat
live in the East.
In other words, most of the live
stock is one or two thousand miles
distant from most of the people who
need it in the form of food.
| Fifty years ago, when live stock was
raised close to every consuming cen-
ter, the country butcher could handle
the job after a fashion.
But the job got too big.
Now millions of animals have to be
moved hundreds of miles to millions of
people. Somewhere on the way they
have to be turned into meat.
The packers solved the problem.
They set up plants where the “live
and the “meat haul” were in
the right balance. They built up
distributing systems—refrigerator cars,
refrigerating plants, branch houses.
They saved time, money and meat
everywhere. The stockraiser bene-
fited in better markets and higher
prices; the consumer, in better meat
and lower prices.
As the country grew, the packers
had to grow, or break down. Because
of its present size and efficiency,
Swift & Company is able to perform
its part in this service at a fraction of
a cent per pound profit
