Catalog? I can’t see one short 8 week course needing that much explanation. I’m sure they meant something more like ‘brochure’, but I can’t help picturing being able to choose different classes (like a modern college course catalog). Choosing from learning how to cut up pigs and cows or elk and seals (depending on where you live in the country).

A book was passed down to me as i became a meat cutter. Its a big book with many pages with the title National School of Meat Cutting. It was published in 1942. It explains everything from tools you need to cutting beef, pork, veal, mutton, ect. pretty much its all you need to know to run your own meat dep. I was wondering if this book had much value.

Back in 1964 while training in the military at Fort Lewis, WA I was told that there are seven different grains in a flank steak. I have been unable to verify this and wonder if anyone has any information.

Dave N: I’ve only ever seen the one since it’s a primal cut from a single muscle http://www.askthemeatman.com/b.....l_cuts.htm
I mean, come on if it really bothered you, go buy a flank steak and slice it to find the “seven different grains” running through it.

In the 1940’s my Father, William King John Stout, taught at the Toledo meat cutting school. He went on to be head meat cutter for the Alber’s grocery chain in the late 40’s till his death in 1952. I did not follow in his foot steps. I was only 9yrs old at the time of his death, but I can remember the times when he would take me to the store with him and try to teach me to cut meat. Is there any records or photos of him from when he was there.

I recently found my Dad’s diploma (1950) from the National School of Meat Cutting, Home Training Division, Inc., Toledo. He was Arie Griffioen, Jr and died in 1997. The diploma was signed by the Director, John Bla(?)son and the President, Thomas E. Lattus(?) My guess is that he was sent there by Lenger’s Supermarket in Grand Rapids, MI.
Anybody remember him, or the school around this time?
