Meat Production on the Farm book 1935

[GWG8541]

I was on Ebay looking for a gift for my wife. She collects certain Christmas decorations that are not made anymore. I found one from a seller that also had this book/pamphlet

So I picked it up for myself as a historical piece of meat processing Americana. I have include a few shots of some pages. All in all it is more a advertisement for the old E.H. Wright company when they were in Kansas City, MO. Published in 1935






If any of you know the history of the Wright company, it was originally know for it’s liquid smoke and started in 1895. The company/name has been sold several times and the name is now owned by a large food production company.

That’s it cool. I wonder how much (if any) of the things in the book were wrong, or just have changed because of technology and food science. When I was in 4-H we used to show cattle and you had a specific body type. Science changed what and how you fed them today.

Pretty cool stuff. I like reading about the old technology.
I have some old books on design/build of small slaughter plants. It seems pretty outdated by todays standards but it obvious they used the best science and technical knowledge available at the time.
Some other trade literature I have is from the old Griffith Laboratories Company. They introduced Prague Powder or what we call Cure #1 many years ago.

GWG8541 just wait until Jonathon’s meat manifesto comes out, I’m sure its bound to be a classic!

[Deepwoodsbutcher]

Sounds like an interesting read.

samspade the info in the book is pretty generic, but considering when it was published, it may have been progressive for the time.

GWG8541 I have seen that book somewhere else! I don’t begin to remember where tho,

[GWG8541]

Denny O there are a few still on Ebay. I paid about half for what they were listed for. Especially since shipping was free on this one. The seller combined the shipping for me from my other item.
There are also different editions of this from what I saw.
