Meat shipping costs favor local sales under wartime price rules
The article explains that no profit advantage exists in long distance meat shipping versus nearby sales. OPA zones set base prices for beef, lamb, veal, and pork, with minimal allowances for transport and delivery that often fail to cover costs. Swift & Company follows wartime fair distribution, requiring equal distribution to areas as in early 1944, starting July 1945.
