Packing Business Booms in L. A.
A substantial boom is under way in San Antonio's livestock and packing industry with packing houses tripling output in five years. San Antonio now hosts over 30 packing firms expanding into markets once controlled by Kansas City and Chicago. Cattle and calves turnover for the year ending June 14, 1938, rose 20 percent from the prior year, while sheep and goats nearly doubled. One packer reports shipping over a million pounds of beef monthly, valued at $125,000 to $150,000, and confirms a 135 percent gain in the past year as the industry upgrades and remains homegrown despite a recession elsewhere.
