Other information: Swift brought in meat from the mid west in refrigerated box cars from the early 1900s through the 1960s. It employed four full-time butchers cutting meat for the groceries, hotels, restaurants, cure cottages and sanatoria, and it kept four trucks busy delivering its meat.
One of their meat cutters was Drum and Bugle Corps leader Francis L. Stearns. Bill Hanks was manager in 1962.
