Ice Boxes
Refrigerator cars for carrying meat are ice
boxes traveling on wheels
Most people in America would have to go
without fresh meat or would have 'to pay
more for what they could get if it were not
for these traveling ice boxes
Gustavus F Swift the first Swift in the
packing industry saw the need of these
traveling ice boxes before others
He asked the railroads to build them The
railroads refused They were equipped and
preferred to haul cattle rather than dressed beef
So Gustavus F Swift had to make the cars
himself The first one was a box car rigged
up to hold ice Now there are 7000 Swift
refrigerator cars Each one is as fine an ice
box as you have in your home
Day and night fair weather and foul
through heat and cold these 7000 cars go
rolling up and down the country keeping meat
just right on its way to you
Thus another phase of Swift & Company’s
activities has grown to meet a need no one
else could or would supply in way that
matched Swift & Company ideas of being
useful ‘
I
When you see one of these Swift & Company '
cars in a train or on a siding you wilf be
reminded of what is being done for you as the
fruit of experience and a desire to serve

peart up and show what his pny-tent
con do? I like to 3ee people work like
they took some Intrust In It" 1
As she spoke the demonstrator gave
on expert slide to the steel nnd held
tf forward fo show the keenness of
Its edge The suddenness of this vi-
vacity was espial tied by the other
woman :
“Lor’ Maggie he muster heard you
through the glass — you sure have got
