FOR THAT EASTER SUNDAY DINNER IN 1905
For over 150 years, Swift & Company has been providing quality
beef and pork products under superior brand names to consumers nationwide.
The Swift & Company tradition began with Mr. Gustavus Swift
when he purchased a calf for $20.00 and sold the meat to his
neighbors. Mr. Swift’s innovative thinking was only the beginning.
Today, Swift & Company is an industry leader in fresh ideas,
products and technology with headquarters in Greeley, Colorado.
Gustavus Franklin Swift, Sr.
(June 24, 1839 – March 29, 1903)
