Swift Refrigerator Cars Transform Meat Distribution
Gustavus F. Swift faced railroad refusals to build ice boxes so he created his own refrigerated cars. Today about 7,000 Swift refrigerator cars traverse the nation, preserving meat from farm to table day and night in all conditions. Each car embodies Swift & Company’s effort to meet a public need with practical service. Seeing a Swift car recalls the company’s commitment to supplying safe, well-preserved meat.

How to Dry Pumpkins and Squash Properly
The guide instructs spreading pieces in a single layer for sun drying and turning them every few hours. Dried chunks should be leathery with no surface moisture and kept in boxes lined with paper to exclude insects. Store the dried material in a warm, dry room after daily stirring for ten days.
