Editoii Herald : Your articlo in Satur
day's editiou of tho Herald in regard to
high prices of beef and also stating that tho
Shenandoah Beef Company is In no respect a
benefit to tho meat industry of this town
should not pass unnoticed. Allow mo to say
that tho meeting he'd at tho salesroom of tho
Shenandoah Beef Company did not, as tho
writer expresses it, "break up in a quarrel."
On tho contrary, is was a meeting of business
men who aro gentlemen and aro not disposed
to quarrel, and I must say was as orderly a
meeting as was over held by a body of men.
Thero was no "lively time," a? (ho writer
had been informed, and no ouu lelt the room
until tho meeting was dismissed. Further
more tho Hkrald stated that tho desiro was
to advanco stealts from 10 and 12J cents to
18 cents. Allow mo to say that tho highest
prico demanded by tho dealers at said meet
ing was 14 cents. A number of dealers
expressing themselves on tho subject slid
that tho meeting did not interest or benefit
them, for thoy wcro already getting prices
far in advanco of tho prices mentioned. By
this you will sco that thero was no desire ou
tho part of the dealers to demand prices
which tho peoplo with limited means could
not afford to pay. Tho writer has had as
much experience in tho retail business as the
large majority of dealers in Shenandoah and
knows what he is talking about when tho
subject is meat. In view of this fact let mo
givo tho candid-minded pooplo of Shenandoah
who lioiieve 111 a fair day's wages for a day's
work a fow figures for consideration. Tho
Shenandoah Beef Company is now supplying
top grades of beef for 8 cents which tho
home-dressed meat dealer will admit he
oauuot dress for less than 8 cents. How do
we do this? Swift & Company buy from
3,000 to fi.OOO cattle every dKy in the year
and must necessarily buy mueli olios per than
the local drovers who buy ouly 80 cattle
a week. Then the freight is much less on
dressed beef than on live stock. When beef
is worth 6 cents per hundred a hind quarter
sells for 9 cents and a fore for 7 cents. Those
who buy beef know that a number of dealer
are now selling certain cuts for less than cost
ou this basis. When a hind quarter which
costs a cents is cut into steaks the waste
through fat and bone on a ISO-pound quarter
is at least 80 pounds, which leaves 130 pounds
beef. The flank weighs 10 pounds and th
shank meat 10 pounds, which never brings
cost, and deducted from 130 leaves 110 pounds
of steak, anil allowing 1.60 for flank and
shank meat will leave tho dealers 110 pounds
ot steak at $12, or 11 cents a pound. I do
not believe any business man in town can
realize a profit by selling for credit or cash
goods which cost 11 cents and ovor for 18J
cents. Nor do I believe that a candid
niiuded citizen of Shenandoah is not willing
to pay 14 cents for beef steak which sells for
35 to SS cents In all parts of tho country to
day. Furthermore tho retail prices of meats
has nothing whatever to do with the Shen
andoah Beef Company. We are soiling fully
two cents a pound higher than we were three
months ago and the retail dealer has not
advanced any; nor havo the dealers
of Shenandoah expressed anv doalrn
to return to the oM sietbods of
killing because they know that the Wf
market is high ainl ear prices such lower
tlumtliay eould dress bef Air. Haeee tita
present age, and tho people of Shenandoah
have long ago como to tho conclusion which
tho wholo country has reached, namely : that
beef should bo droseed whero it is raised and
not Irolghted for several days without food or
water, which results in injury, brings on
fovor, disease, etc If tho Shonaiidoah Beef
Company havo brought tho prices of beof to
a lower standard it has not been an injury,
but rather beuefit to tho community. Bo
causo In 60 doing tho railroad transportation
companies and middle men who buy in very
Bmall quantities aro tho men who suffer.
Henco tho falsity of tho nrgumcut used by
tho gentleman with whor.i the Herald man
held conversation. Allow mo also to add
that wc aro In 110 way Interested in tho retail
prices ; our business is carried on on a cash
basis and a customer who cannot pay doos
not buy. Tho fact that wo opened our
salesroom to dcalors for a meeting and that
tho secretaryship was forced upon tho
manager of the beef company doos not
that tho manager was interested.
Wo havo established a business which is Willi
you to stay, and wo havo tho support of tho
dealers becauso it is fo' their benefit to deal
with us. Our refrigeratoH. como from tho
west in loss than three days, and all tho phy
sicians in tho country agrco that meats aro
not fit to cat until thoy havo been killed
fully that length of timo. Your articlo states
that the Shenandoah Beef Company is au
injury to tho town becauso through it parties.
havo started into business who know nothing
whatover about beef. This Is impossible and
wcro it so It only helped break up a monopoly.
Thero aro no dealers in Shenandoah to-day.
building brick blocks and tenement rows,,
because tho monopoly in tho beof buslctsa
has been brokon up and that because tho
western dressed beef has brought prices to a
lower standard and tho consumers whoso
protest you printed havo received tho benefit.
Tho gentleman who says tho parties who put
down tho prices are looking to him for sup
port to raise prices Is altogether too self
assuming becauso tho dealers in Chicago
dressed beef aro fully I cents a pound lower
to-day than thoso who claim to sell nothing
but home-dressed stock; and somo of tho
learned people of Shenandoah aro near
sighted enough to believe that such beef is
worth more money. Tho dealers of Shenan
doah aro not raising prices that they may ac
cumulate wealth, but that thoy may bo recom
pensed for their labor.and this they havo a per
fect right to do. The meat industry of this town
should not be altogether a charitablo institu
tion because times are hard. In couclusion
let mo say that tho articlo In Saturday's
edition is entirely void of logic and tho most
nonsensical articlo I have ever read. Tho
Western dressed beef butchers arc "masters
of the situation," whether prices aro high or
low, for the maTket is always much higher
for tho dealer who thinks that this will
revive tho old method of killing should tho
Shenandoah Beef Company demand higher
prices. Wo are and claim to bo tho poor
man's friond and ho who thinks ho can meet
our prices by dresoing beof at home is only,
as ho expresses it, "being led around by the
nose."
