June 24, 1839 Gustavus Franklin Swift was born on a farm near West Sandwich (just a coincidence), Massachusetts. He headquartered in Chicago because of the conjunction of railroad transportation and cattle markets. His success was due to having his engineers develop refrigerated railroad cars and his factories using mass production techniques (which inspired such industrialists as Henry Ford). learner.org/biographyofamerica/prog14/transcript/page03.html
