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.
