Show Letter From a I Self-Made Packer To His Son Paris, Juno It, 190C. Dear Percy: Whllo I am not on tlio ground nnd cannot size up tho present situation with every cnuthlcnco In my Judgment, I think It would be wise to clean up the yards nnd till thu houses, so ns to bu ready for any Inspectors or reporters who may ask to bo shown through the plant. I may be wrong, but probably It wouldn't hurt anything any-thing If you wero to do u llttlo cleaning clean-ing up. You enn get Thomas Jefferson Jnckson to do a week's whitewashing. He can daub up enough fences in that tlmo to hi ako the cnttle aud hog pens look fairly clean, and possibly ho rould finish In time to whiten up the Interior of Home of the rooms of the plant. As I think It over, I guess It would be n good Idea to clean tho floors In all tho rooms. Natii'T.lly a great deal or greaso will fall on the floors in 10 or 12 years, and much or 11 will be ground Into the wood und saved. I Pieces of pork, beef, mutton nnd rind and n great deal of lard, no doubt, cover tho floors to a depth of six or seven Inches In places. This should bo scraped up carefully aud turned over to the olive oil department, whero It can ho placed In the vnts I with oxalic ucld and fonnnldehydo. I It can bo bottled as "I.u Plcha Ollvo ; Oil. Quality Guaranteed by the Hal-' Hal-' Ian Government." The sediment can be used in tho bouoless chicken department. de-partment. Hero Is another thing you can do: Send for reporters from overy pnper In the city and givo them n little talk on food purity and similar rot, tell what efforts we've made to kill germs, nnd tell how for years wo havo sprayed tho walls, doors, tables, wagons wag-ons and tools with fonnnldehydo In order to bo certain of absolute clonn-llucss. clonn-llucss. In proof of tho statement show -them our fonnnldehydo bills for tho lust five or six yeors. That'll convince con-vince 'em. How is tho egg business coming along? I met a famous French chemist chem-ist yesterday who showed mo n thing or two nbout eggs, nnd I hnd always supposed 1 know nbout everything worth knowing, I think wo can revolutionize revo-lutionize tho egg business. This follow fol-low has a secret preparation that preserves pre-serves eggs for ns long ns seven years. It's something wonderful. Hcst of nil, this stuff Is cheap, costs only eight cents a gallon, and n gallon Is enough to preserve nearly a million eggs. You need only one drop of the stuff mid great care must bo observed not to use more than ono, ns two drops caiiBO tho stomueh to rebel and three cause serious Illness und sometimes death. Howovor, wo must all take ( chances In this world. This French t man has Invented an Instrument with which tho egg Is punctured, tho preservative pre-servative Injected nnd tho hole sealed I havo offered htm $500,000 for hit formula and Instrument, to hecomt i my excluslvo property, and I think ht will accept. That seems llko a largt nmount of money, nnd II Is, but think how soon It will come back, We will save thousands and thousuuds of dol lars In Ice, And when hn perfects It so it can bo usod on meat well, Inside of a fow years tho phrase "cold stor-ago" stor-ago" will bo deader than Chauncoy M Depew. Your affectionate fnthor, JOHN UEEFHAM. |
