This conquest of bulk was achieved by the elimination of those two non-paying passengers, a ir and water. They were eliminated by de hydration and compression.

At a tim e when every cubic foot of cargo space was ammuni tion used in the battle of the At lantic, this victory over bulk was no minor one. It ranks with the more spectacular victories of Stalingrad, North Africa, the Marshalls, etc., as a m ajor contribution to the final triumph. Food dehydration and compres sion may not fade out with the war. Foods processed in this manner are expected to become as impor tant an item in the civilian postwar diet as canned goods. Fruits, vege tables, meats and dairy products lose little or none of their m ineral and vitam in content and flavor.
