High Prices and Horse Meat Scare Put Butchers on the Pan
Amarillo meat dealers cope with rising prices and concerns over horse meat and adulteration. Clarence Willis, a longtime Piggly Wiggly butcher, notes higher costs, thinning margins, and war-era price controls. He warns on practices like loaded hamburger and explains meat-cutting terms while sharing tips for cooking to stretch budgets. Also notes Willis’s son Sandie Denny Willis, last year’s football co captain, and a New Mexico fishing trip return.
