They had never seen a street, a town, a window, or a wooden door, A bed, a water tap, and an electric light produced com- pletely new sensations. Street cars were unknown to them; tele- phones unheard of; trains not to be believed even when beheld. They had never seen an automobile until someone took them riding in one. They had never set their eyes on an airplane until someone did his mostdaring stunts in one to thrill them. They had never even seen a movie! But what do you suppose moved them most in the whole bag of tricks which civilization produced for their amusement and amazement ? What seemed to them the greatest wonder of all? The cold storage plants! The White Man didn’t always have to hunt and fish when he wanted to eat! Here was civilization’s greatest gift, its greatest benefaction. This feature of civilization makes it possible for Swift & Company, in the season of over production, to store a supply of food for distribution in the season of scant, or non-pro- duction. Thus we are able to maintain for all a constant supply of such choice and necessary foods as Premium Milk-fed Chickens, Brookfield Butter and Brookfield Eggs.
