"Well Dressed"
i
with places to go
N the gay '90s a chicken didn't go very far,
no matter how good it was! The "marketing"
of poultry was pretty much a local activity and
a daily "cash market" was unheard of. One lo-
cality might have an acute shortage while
another not far away*: might be watching its
chickens grow old and stringy. There was no
highway between supply and demand.
Swift & Company, thirty years ago, bent its
energies toward making a national market for
poultry, butterfat and eggs. That national
market exists now. Northeastern States consume
each year 350 million pounds of poultry their
own people do not produce. Eleven states in the
Middle West sell 200 million surplus pounds an-
nually outside their own borders.
Two hundred thousand farm patrons sell
poultry, butterfat and eggs for cash to Swift 8b
Company at more than 100 produce plants. In
place of the one town market of spring wagon
days, they have thousands of markets. Every
one of approximately 400 branch houses, every
one of 10,000 towns on refrigerator car routes is
a potential outlet for every chicken dressed in a
Swift plant.
All dressed up and 10,400 places to go!
Leased wires everywhere keep our executives
informed where produce markets are best. Supplies
are hurried to these points. Demand is enhanced
by advertising brands of high quality, Premium
Milk-fed Chickens andGoldenWest Milk-fedFowl
among them. Service is complete and charges
for it are low. No other system returns a larger
nhare of the consumer's dollar to the producer.
Swift & Company profits for years have averaged
less than one-half cent per pound of product sold.

YEARS
When mighty armored fishes swam
» over PENNSYLVANIA
THE Devonian Age which occurred more
than a hundred million years ago was the
source of two wonders—mighty, armored
fishes and the Bradford-Allegany crude oil
which is now being manufactured into Sinclair
Pennsylvania Motor Oil. Sinclair Pennsylvania
is de-waxed and freed from petroleum jelly at
as low as 60° F. below zero—Sinclair Pennsyl-
vania is a year-round Pennsylvania grade oil.
