Why Swift & Company Handle
Poultry, Eggs, Butter and Cheese
Swift & Company went into the pro-
duce business because they saw a
crying need for the kind Of service they
were equipped to perform.
The produce business was in chaos.
Collecting, transportation, preparation
and distribution was hit or miss,
with delay, deterioration and loss on
'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. -j

however, we had a good cold norther
which made up for the rain.

There has been very little work
toward farming in this section on
account of so much rain. There
has been some grumbling about it

Catarrhal Deafness Cannot Be Cured
by local applications, as they cannot reach
the diseased portion of the ear. There Is
only one way to cure catarrhal deafness,
and that Is by a constitutional remedy.
Catarrhal Deafness Is caused by an In-
flamed condition of ilio mucous lining of
the Eustachian Tube. When this tube Is
inflamed you have a rumbling sound or im-
perfect hearing, and when It Is entirely
closed. Deafness Is the result. Unless the
inflammation can be reduced and this tube
restored to its normal condition, hearing
will be destroyed forever. Many cases of
deafness are caused by catarrh, which is

This Case Has a Hint for
Rockdale Readers
A Rockdale woman has used Doan’s
i Kidney Pills.
She has found them as represented.
She wishes her neighbors to know.
She publicly recommends them.
No need to look further for a tested
kidney remedy.
The proof of merit is here and can
be investigated.
> Profit by the statement of—
I Mrs. A. C. Callaway, Collf/j St.,
says: “I suffered constantly ,ath my
i back and had throbbing pains across
| my kidneys. I was so bad off I could
I hardly get about. My head ached
and my kidneys acted irregularly. A
| friend recommended Doan’s Kidney
j Pills and J used some. They rid me
of the backache and regulated my
kidneys.”
Mrs. Callaway is only one of many
Rockdn’e people who have gratefully
endorsed Doan’s Kidney Pills. If your
back aches—if your kidneys bother
you, don’t siijitdy ask for a kidney
remedy—ask distinctly for DOAN’S
KIDNEY PILLS, the same that Mrs.
Callaway had—the remedy backed by
home testimony. 60 cents at all
stores. Foster-Milburn Co., Props.,
