Excerpt from The Packers' Encyclopedia: Blue Book of the American Meat Packing and Allied Industries, a Hand-Book of Modern Packing House Practice, a Statistical Manual of the Meat and Allied Industries, and a Directory of the Meat Packing, Provision, Sausage Manufacturing, Rendering and Affili This Packers' Encyclopedia has been compiled as the result of an insistent demand for a ready reference work on the meat packing and allied industries. It has been felt for a long time that such data on the largest industry in the United States should be brought together. It was considered appropriate that this task should fall to the official trade publication of the industry, The National Provisioner. The work naturally divides into three parts, each of which is decribed more in detail in its own foreword. Part I is a Hand-book of Modern Packing House Practice. The material is arranged in the simplest possible form, by classes of animals, nature of products and order of operations. An attempt has been made to approximate the latest and best American packing house practice, condensed within the space available in a single volume, and adapted to the needs of the average operator. This portion of the work is what gave the book its name, The Packers' Encyclopedia. Its preparation would not have been possible save for the generous co-operation of the leading operating experts of the industry. Part II is a Statistical Section which offers, chiefly in chart form, graphic comparisons covering a decade of the number and prices of meat animals and their chief products; production, exports, imports and consumption. Freight rate data and officially-adopted trade term definitions are also included for the convenience of the reader. Part III is the first comprehensive Trade Directory ever attempted for the industry. About the Publisher Forgotten Books publishes hundreds of thousands of rare and classic books.
