“Spokes”— i and the Swift | “Wheel” What would you consumers think of a wheel without spokes ? < What would you think of a man who would take any or all of the spokes out of a wheel to make it run better ? t Swift & Company’s business of getting fresh meat to you is a wheel, of which the packing plant is only the hub. Retail dealers are the rim—and Swift & Company Branch Houses are the spokes. The hub wouldn't do the wheel much good and you wouldn’t have much use for hub or rim if it weren’t for the spokes that fit them all together to make a wheel of it. Swift & Company Branch Houses are placed, after thorough investigation, in centers where they can be successfully operated and do the most good for the most people at the least * possible cost. Each “spoke” is in charge of a man who knows that he is there to keep you supplied at all times with meat, sweet and fresh; and who knows that if he doesn t do it. his competitor will. How much good would the hub and the rim of the Swift “wheel” do you if the spokes were done away with ?

Carl \V. S.nis. chairman of the milling di’.’i- < it of the Indiana federal food tdurinistration, is sending to millers of the state th< suggestion that they pi 'pare at cm e for the production of this mixture. Millers are advised that omission of reference to Victory Hour from the r--w h< me card about to be promulgated is due to the recognition of an unprepared condition in the milling trade tor the manufacture of the i’our in sufficient quantities to meet he demand. An appeal has been received by Mr. Sims from the milling division of the total administration at Washington to assist in preparing for this step in conservation to which the United States is pledged, in coojetittion with her associates in the war -against the central powers of Europe. Est. rts are being made. Mr. Sim* is advised, with a fair prospect of success to secure a suspension of the mixed flour law. for the period of the ■ This law imposes a revenue tax upon all mixed fleur and it has served to discourage preparation for tne production of the Victory formuia. Many mills have preferred to sell their output to the bakery trade whi h Cot - its own mixing However witn the greater percentage of .wheat flour consumption permitted, it is expect’d that many housewives will prefer to do their own baking and it is :n anticipation o? the demand growing out of such arrangement that the mills must alter their equipment umix the 80 per cent wheat and 20 per cent substitutes.
