It's Time To TALK TURKEY
The Turkeys produced In the state of Oregon are recognized In all
American markets as among the very finest In the land. The grower,
of course, does his full share In producing a fine product.
Commission men and buyers who do not take proper cure of
the dressed turkeys are no asset to the Industry, and anyone who
packs turkeys without first thoroughly pre-coollng them Is really a
detriment to the producers, consumers, the legitimate denlers and
the turkey Indusry generally.
It Is a matter of record and common knowledge that practically
every year large quantities of Oregon turkeys turn green and spoil
right In their containers causing heavy losses and Injuring the reputa
tion of Oregon turkeys. And now, we will tell you the reasons why:
You cannot dress turkeys today, pack them tomorrow, and expect
them to keep many days, unless they are properly cooled and such
cooling cannot be done by Just hanging them up overnight, unless
the weather Is cold enough to bring the turkeys down to an Internal
temperature or 38 to 40 degrees, depending on how long these turkeys
have to be kept In fresh condition.
Anyone who packs these turkeys without sufficient and proper
cooling should not be permitted by the producers themselves to handle
a single turkey, ,
We ask you to realize that turkeys packed, let us say, between
the fifth and fifteenth of November must he handled so carefully
and cooled sn thoroughly that, first, they will never be frozen, end
second, that they will be sound and sweet and In fine condition on
somebody's table on Thanksgiving Day; this Is all the way from ten
to twenty days after they are dressed. You cannot do that by Just
hanging them up overnight, hoping that they will cool out.
This concern hss now provided proper facilities for dressing and
for Immediate cooling after dressing. We have one of the finest
and largest outlets In the United states, through Bennett A Layton,
Inc., or San Francisco. We shall do our best to pay you top cash
prices under prevailing market conditions. We feel that we deserve
the handling or your turkeys, both In your Interests, In the Interest
or the community where these turkeys are produced. In the Interest
of the turkey Industry generally, and In the Interest of the consumer
who Is entitled to turkeys In sound condition. We ask that you call,
phone, or write to os.
