They are all pretty much alike in tha‘ way they feél toward their work—and that is- what this ad is about. They know that most people couldn’t get such Jgood meat promptly and in good condition if it weren't for the branch houses of which they are in charge. They know that the branch house is one of the most important links in the chain of preparing and distributing meat for a nation. ‘ They know that Swift & Company must have its branch houses run at the highest notch of usefuiness; that even a Swift & Company branch house won’t run itself, and that it is up to the branch house man to run it properly. H, C. Adams, Manager Any branch house man who doesn’t see his work in this light is transferred to some other place with Swift & Company to which he is better adapted. They are picked men, these branch house men. Every time you sit down to a steak or chop, or cut of roast, you can give a grateful thought to the whole crew of them. And remember, in a general way, that everything that makes life smoother and more convenient for you is the result of the thoughtfulness and effort of a lot of people of whom you have never heard.
