Small 4to. 64 pp. Photo-illustrated throughout. Colour-illustrated softcovers, birds-eye view of Packing House on Medford Street in Somerville, colour labels of all the company's meat products on the back cover (minor creasing to spine, age wear, slight scuffing at fore-edge, very small closed tear at upper fore-edge), still a VG bright copy. First edition of this exceedingly scarce promotional catalogue for the Swift & Co.'s newly opened subsidiary packing house in Boston, MA, featuring on the rear cover all the New England market specific product labels. The new packing house in Somerville, MA included 6 acres of cold storage for dressed meats, and packaged meats brought into the East from Chicago, as well as maintaining local stockyards and slaughter house operations in and around Boston. Swift (1839-1903) had originally grown up and worked in West Sandwich, Cape Cod, MA, and in the 1870's moved to Chicago where he became a driving force in the meatpacking industry. He was the first to employ refrigerated cars over protests of other butchers, and major railroads which rightly believed the refrigerated systems would threaten their lockhold on stock cars and animal pens. By the 1890's Swift & Co. had established North Packing & Provision Co., and were transporting over 3000 carcasses a week into Boston, forcing other firms such as Armour & Co. to copy their methods. The subsidiary also allowed him to overcome resistance from East Coast meat retailers who questioned safety of frozen meat, and so vastly did he increase production, the packing house was able to dominate the Eastern markets.
