Excerpt from American Meat: And Its Influence Upon the Public Health It will be noted that frequent references are made to the Meat Trust. The term is here used, not to indicate a business entity of any kind, but simply an in uence which proceeds from the financial interests involved.

The final analysis regarding its origin we leave to others. About the Publisher Forgotten Books publishes hundreds of thousands of rare and classic books. Find more at ...
