Barrel Beef Canning Cooked Corn Drama Escape Kneeling Kneels Peril Perilous Praying Raft Rations Saved Sinking Situation Supplied Survivors Sustenance Thankful Tins
EDITORS COMMENTS
In this evocative photograph from the 1870s, a family of survivors cling to a makeshift raft in the midst of a perilous situation. The scene is set on the Mississippi River, with the sun setting ominously in the background, casting long shadows on the water. The survivors, dressed in ragged clothing and looking weary and exhausted, are huddled together, praying for their safe delivery from the clutches of the treacherous river. At the heart of this dramatic tableau, a barrel of Cooked Corned Beef from The St. Louis Beef Canning Company stands tall, its metal casing gleaming in the fading light. The barrel, a precious source of sustenance and hope, was undoubtedly a vital ration supplied by the canning company, ensuring that the survivors had the energy and nourishment they needed to endure their harrowing ordeal. The St. Louis Beef Canning Company, a pioneer in the canning industry, had been supplying the region with high-quality canned meats since the mid-19th century. Their Cooked Corned Beef, a staple in the diets of many families, was renowned for its rich flavor and long shelf life, making it an ideal choice for emergency situations. As the survivors on the raft look towards the barrel with a mixture of gratitude and relief, it is a poignant reminder of the crucial role that food plays in the most challenging of circumstances. The image captures the raw emotion and drama of their situation, as they cling to each other and to the precious barrel of Cooked Corned Beef, their only hope for survival in the face of the perilous river.
