Newspaper Page TextMEDFORD MAIL TRIBUNE, MEDFORD, OREGON. THURSDAY, JUNE 13, 1935. PAGE THREE T& CELEBRATE 50TH SUCCESSFUL YEAR Meat dealers, livestock producers and others acquainted with growth of meat packing, America's largest Industry, are recalling and retelling this week the romantic story of the development of Swift- & Company. The occasion for reminiscence is the nationwide celebration of the 50th anniversary of Swift fe Com pany's Incorporation a celebration featured locally by meetings of re tall meat dealers and special sales or th company's many food pro ducts. Gustavus Franklin Swift, founder, started in business for himself in 1885. with a total capital of 20 when he ,was 16 years old. He paid $19 for a neighbor's heifer. . dressed It himself and sold the meat In his little home town of Cape Cod. Just 20 years later, In 1875, G. F. Swift reached. Chicago a successful retailer, exporter and cattle buyer. Still young, ambitious and a bitter foe of waste, he saw nothing but waste In the operations of the meat and livestock Industry of that day. He had faith In refrigeration as the solution of the vexing problem oi bridging the average gap of nearly a thousand miles between livestock producing centers of the west and the populous consuming centers oi the east. His experiments with refrigerator cars were successful almost Imme diately and within five years of his arrival at Chicago he had. almost single handed, revolutionized the entire meat and livestock Industries of the nation. He opened the east as a market for western beef and shipped dressed beef from Chicago In place of the live animals, oi which about 40 per cent was waste. His leadership was srrong not only In making available to the nation fresh and better meat at lower prices, but also In the development of uses for animal by-products, which was one of the factors In Increasing the return to livestock producers for their animals. The meat industry ranks today as the most efficient distributing agency In America, according to the na tional distribution conference. Vete rans of the Industry attribute this standing In large measure to the vision and hard work of such pio neers as Gustavus F. Swift and his successors In the packing Industry. The North Portland plant supplies this territory and Swift As Company spend between ten and eleven mil lion dollars annually for livestock and other materials used In connec tion with the business. The southrn Oregon branch has been established for 35 years, being at Ashland from July, 1900. until May, 1926, and has been located in Medford since that date. F. Crouch, head of this organization here, has the distinction of being associated with Swift & Company for the past 35 years, all of this period of service being In southern Oregon.
