Item description from seller

A vintage softcover program from the 1940 Convention of the Institute of American Meat Packers, 20 pages. Saddle stapled binding. Thick light blue paper wraps with the title and convention location at the front cover. Printed in black and white on thick paper. Lower left corner of the rear cover missing (see photo). Lower third of the blank, unpaginated Notes page torn out. Otherwise, pages are clean and free of writing. The binding is tight and strong, with no loose pages. A program from the 1940 Convention of the Institute of American Meat Packers which was held on October 18 to 22, 1940. With a list of convention exhibits of packinghouse equipment and machinery, and a program of panels being held for the Accounting Section, the Chemistry and Operating Section, the Sales and Advertising Section, the Engineering and Construction Section, the Live Stock Section, and the Sausage Division. Each of these panels includes a schedule of talks throughout the convention, among them Accounting Practices of Small Meat Packing Companies, The Effect of Carbon Dioxide on Bacteria, with Particular Reference to Food Poisoning Organisms, Protecting Pork Cuts in the Freezer, and Labeling of Meat Products Under New Food Laws. A fascinating bit of history of the meat packing industry.

We trust them & we hope you will too. If you need tracking, please consider PRIORITY SHIPPING. We ship orders valued at more than $50 in a box, at no additional charge. Priority mailing is for a Flat-Rate envelope, with tracking included. If the book does not fit into a flat rate envelope, we will likely need to request extra shipping costs from you, in order to put it in a box. We only charge the actual amount of shipping, so we hope you'll understand that it's just a matter of getting the book to you without taking a loss on it -- shipping is a service we happily offer without a 'handling' charge.... but we can't afford to charge you less than the cost of the stamps!
