What is a Branch
House?
The Branch House is the place in
the packing organization where what
the packing plant does for you is put
where you can use it
Both are' the natural result of
growth and development in the living
thing they belong to.
Swift & Company Branch Houses
are located in distributing centers all
over the country. They are fitted
out with refrigerating equipment to
keep meat cool, sweet and fresh.
Each one is in personal charge of a
man who believes, in what Swift &
Company is doing for people and
wants to help do it
They are directed by men who
have spent years learning how to get
. better meat cheaper to the places
where it is needed.
Meat is shipped to the branch
houses direct from the packing plants
in Swift & Company's refrigerator
cars, in such quantities that it can be
disposed of While fresh and sweet
Your meat dealer comes here to
buy your meat for yonunless some
one else can treat him better then
we can.
So you need the branch house in
order to live well; and the branch
house and the packing plant need
each other.in order to be useful to you.

BRITISH AHEAD IN THE AIR
Gain Superiority on Battle Front and
Raid. Rhine Provineea Often,
London. British air fighting on the
western front during the last week
provides a striking Indication of the
difficulty now confronting Germany In
die air.
In the battle area enemy scouts are
compelled to operate In large forma
tions at much greater height than
formerly. $
Severe air fighting has occurred be
tween Albert, and the Amiens Roye
road, resulting, according to latest re
ports, In the destruction of 62 enemy
machines and the driving down of 21
airplanes out of control. Twenty-six
British machines have been reported
missing.
Coupled with a virtual cessation of
raids on London the Increasing dum
ber of bombing raids into Germany, of
which there were 21 during the past
week, must be demoralizing, showing
Germany that she is unable adequately
to protect her air frontier.
