The produce business was in chaos. Collecting, transportation, preparation ’ and distribution was hit or miss, with delay, detenoratioft and Joss biKc every hand. . The farmer was at the mercy of an uncertain, localized market He had no way of reaching through to the people who needed what he was raising for them. There was no prem ium upon improving his stocks, for grading was lax or lacking. The consumer had to accept produce that, as a rule, had no known respon sible name behind it. He had no way of knowing how long the eggs or the butter he was buying had been lying around in miscellaneous lots in the back room of a country store. Much of the poultry was not properly refrigerated before shipment or properly protected by refrigeration in transit. Swift & Company’s initiative brought system to this chaos. Their organiza tion, equipment, and experience in handling perishable food products were already adjusted to the task. Their refrigerator cars, branch houses, cen tral points, far-reaching connections, trained sales force, supplied just what was demanded. Now the farmer has a daily cash market in touch with the nation’s needs with better prices. Standardi zation makes better produce more profitable. More consumers are served with better, fresher, finer foodstuffs. Nothing suffers from this save inefficiency, which has no claim upon public support. . * Swift & Company, U.
