locked my trunk and dug out my copy
of "lmdy Larkspur." Not even the

could have extracted the script. The
two women had in some way pos

exact duplicate, even to its blue paper

WhY?
,Many persons wonder why they
have to pay 40 or 50 cents, or more,
for the beef they buy when live cattle
'are only 10 or 15 cents a pound.
In the first place, we average
only about 1/2 pound of meat from
the pound of steer for which we pay
10 or 15 cents. Only part of the other
half consists of such by-products as
hides, oleo oil, tallow, etc. -the
remainder is waste. And the return
from by-products justc now is very
small. Hides and fats as well as
many other icems are down to pre
war pnceS.
In the second place, there are
not many pounds of the kind of
meat for which you pay 40 or 50 cents,
or more, mih the entire animal. Some
times the retailer hastosella lot of the
meat he buys for about what he pays
for it, because you and your neigh
bors pass by certain cuts and insist
upon the other choicer cuts, such as
steaks, etc.
Necessarily, he must get enough
for these choicer cuts to make up for
what he loses on the less popular
ones, such as soup meat, etc.
The difference between the final
retail price of the finished meat
product and the first cost of the live
steer is less than it is for most farm
products.
If the foregoing raises any question in
the mind of the reader, we will endeavor
to answer it, upon request.
