STEWART & CO. Fresh Beef Travels on a Rapid Schedule Fresh beei for domestic mar kets goes from stockyards to retail stores within a period of about two weeks. Although chilled, this meat is not frozen; hence it cannot be stored for a rise in price. A steer is dressed usually within twenty-four hours after purchase by the packer. The beef is held in a cooler at the packing house, at a temperature a little above freezing, for about three days. It is then loaded into a refrig erator car where a similar tem perature is maintained, and is in transit to market on an aver age of about six days. Upon arrival at the branch distributing house, it is unloaded into a "cooler", and placed on sale. Swift & Company requires all beef to be sold during the week of arrival, and the average of sales is within five days. Any delay along the above journey means deterioration in the meat and loss to the packer. I j;t' I Swift & Company, U. S.
