The standard of quality has been raised and the sanitary handling
of foods greatly developed. While this has increased the prices a
little, it has also increased the efficiency and earning power of the
consumer and has tended towards the better health of the nation. The
only way to equalize prices, for the high quality of foods demanded by
discriminating home managers, is through efficient commercial handling
and the conservation of every bit of material. While the efficiency of
the Armour organization is regarded as of the highest standard, the
organization is continually striving to still further increase this
efficiency.
Armour and Company act as a great service link between the farmers
and consumers. Through our agricultural department we reach out to
the farmer and advise him in producing the best meat animals and farm
products within his farm’s possibilities. We assist him to improve his
soil and to feed his animals to the best advantage.
The raw material buyers for Armour and Company are all experts in their
special lines. They search the markets to select the best products
for each branch of our service. Then various corps of specialists
analyze and prepare the foods in the most efficient, scientific, and
satisfactory way for the consumer. Through able management the most
expert service today goes into the translating of a meat animal into
wholesome U.S. Government inspected meat, either fresh, smoked, dried,
prepared, or canned.
BUY FOR REAL VALUE
Expensive experimenting with foods may be eliminated from your
accounts by the simple method of buying by known brands. Label
reading is today’s most important buying guide. A dealer soon learns
the wants of his quality buyers, and, knowing your demand for high
standard commercially prepared foods, he will be careful to select
correspondingly good quality foods when replenishing his stock.
Every careful home maker demands that the meat she buys, whether
fresh, smoked, dried, cured, or canned, bears a U. S. Government
inspected-and-passed label, and should demand canned foods marketed
under a reliable firm name.
Standards of purity and quality in the preparation of commercial foods
have gradually raised, until now there is practically every food for
every need in convenient sanitary packages at your corner market under
a quality label guarantee.
Drudgery has been literally taken out of food preparation. Madam Home
Manager’s time may now well be employed along more constructive lines
than in shelling peas and stringing beans. Hers is the responsibility
and privilege of selecting foods for her family’s menus in such
combinations that every food-need of the body is supplied in proper
proportion.
_Be sure of real value for every expenditure_
