Locker Plant Solves Problem for Farmers
The value of the Mesquite Frosted Food Lockers has been realized
by many patrons since its installation in 1939. Benefits derived from the
lockers by customers in their efficient use and planning for a year’s food
supply have not only proved economical but have offered better nutri-
tion and a great convenience to the farmer in providing sufficient storage
space lor his surplus products. The plant which now has 4 00 lockers, in
addition to its regular storage business of meats, fruits and vegetables,
has answered a demand for variety with tasty, properly processed meat
specialties such as Canadian Bacon, Smoked Ham, Smoked Turkey and
various kinds of sausage that have become popular with consumers
throughout the state.
The farmer’s proximity to Dallas has enabled him to dispose of his
surplus produce and farm products to regular customers but when the
government announced the shortage of rubber which necessitated the
discontinuance of all unnecessary deliveries in order to conserve tires, F.
A. McWhorter, manager of the Mesquite Lockers, let it be known in a
small Mesquiter ad that the farmers could get the highest cash price for
their eggs, poultry and butter at the locker plant. Several hundred doz-
en eggs were purchased on Friday, February 20, the dajf that the first ad
appeared. Since that time Mr. McWhorter has purchased more than
3,000 dozen eggs, approximately 300 pounds of butter and several hun-
dred hens and fryers. The farmer can also find a market here for his
hogs, cattle, lambs and turkeys.
Mr. McWhorter states that patrons will be able to get sugar neces-
sary for processing fruits and vegetables at the locker plant. Those who
wish to pack their own fruits at home and bring them to the plant for
freezing and storage will have to make application for sugar for preser-
vation purposes to the local sugar rationing board.
The management is to be commended for this move to assist the
farmers in this section. They should -find it more economical to patronize
a home institution rather than peddling to customers in Dallas.
