Jasper County Democrat, Volume 21, Number 91, Rensselaer, Jasper County, 12 February 1919 — NEW MEAT MARKET SOON OPEN [ARTICLE]

NEW MEAT MARKET SOON OPEN

Room for Market and Ground for Slaughter House Is Leased. The new co-operative meat market is to be located in the Mrs. J. W. Williams building, next dqpr west of th.e Roth Bros, meat market. It is understood that the new market will be open for business in a few days. . An almost new and up-to-date outfit, including ice box, etc., has been purchased at a bargain price and is being installed this week. The directors have leased of the Makeever estate the ten acres of ground about a mile west of town, owned by said estate, and lying along the river for use as stockyards and slaughter house. This ground is said to be ideally located for the purpose and the necessary buildings will be erected at once. A nic? lot of corn-fed young cattle has already been purchased — enough, it is said, to meet the expected demand of the market for the first month—and arrngements have been made for butchering elsewhere until the new slaughter house buildings are ready.
