Dressed beef hangs from hooks at the Carstens meat packing plant. The meat is ready for final distribution in this chilled display of choice prime US Government graded Kimberley Fed Beef at Carstens, now part of the Hygrade Food Products Corporation. The meat comes direct from Hygrade's own feed lots. Carstens-Hygrade had served Tacoma for over half a century. In 1956, they employed 350 people in their Tacoma plant. (TNT 9/3/1956, pg.
