Step back in time with this postcard view of Chicago's bustling stockyards and abattoirs, where the meat industry came to life over a century ago. Cattle were unloaded from trains, sorted, and led to be "dressed" before being butchered and processed. In this scene, beeves are being prepared for the next stage of production, while bacon is carefully sliced for consumers' tables. The sights, sounds, and smells of the meatpacking district were a testament to the industry's vital role in feeding a growing nation. #MeatIndustryHistory #Chicago #Stockyards #Abattoirs #MeatProcessing #1910
