The 1933 World’s Fair in Chicago was a chance for industry to show off its latest products. This photograph from the end of the show in 1934 documents the sanitary conditions of the U. S. Slicing Machine Company’s efforts at self-promotion.  Seen here is their bacon slicing assembly line staffed by immaculately clad workers.  Through the windows can be seen the curious onlookers visiting the “Century of Progress” show.

The end of the slicing machine in the foreground is clearly marked “La Porte, Ind.”
