Fresh Beef Travels on a Rapid Schedule Fresh beef 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. Swift & Company,,U. S. A. lir All the Ford parts used by Ford dealeis are manufac tured and supplied by the Ford Motor Company. , If your car requires replacement of any part or parts, is in need of repairs don't experiment; don't waste time and mon ey trying to "do it yourself.
