Show I FORWARD MOVE- MENT IN FOOD PRODUCTION PRO-DUCTION AND I DISTRIBUTION J Three prominent wholesale pack ing and food distributing plants in New England have recently merged. This is in line with the . consolidation of non-competing food products in order to cut down overhead and distributing v costs end provide consumers with cheaper and better food. The same movement has taken place in the production of automobiles, auto-mobiles, clothes, .banking, . Utih-j ties, newspapers and other lines of business. High hopes are held for flie success of mass produc- . tion and ditribution to benefit i consumers. i An outgrowth of this better food service idea has been the de vclopjnent of a process which it is I . contemplated will in the near fu- ' ture open up an entirely new mei I thod of food distribution. Perish able foods will be frozen at a temperature of 50 degrees below zero, so quickly that cell-desroy-. ing ice crystals will have no time to form, thus retaining the orin-iual orin-iual freshness of the food. Itl is! claimed that berries, fish and vegetables can be transported in this form across the continent in ' ' perfect condition as soon as dis tributing facilities are provded. |
