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?

Response to comment number 9.
I don’t remember the meat cutter’s name, though I grew up 2 blocks from Lenger’s supermarket in Grand Rapids. Went for milk there twice a week at least between 1965 and 1975.
Good luck with your search.

Hi everyone, I graduated from there in 1967. You learned alot in a short period of time. I got a job with Grand Union Supermarkets a week after I graduated. I still have all the books, they are in hard cover binder. The course back then I believe was $250.00. Are they still there?

I worked at Lenger’s from September, 1973 ‘til some time after high school graduation in 1974, mebbe into 1975. I absolutely hated that place. I’m trying to think who was in the meat department at that time. There was an older gentleman, short and heavy, wore glasses, drove a Cadillac, remember his face but not his name. I believe that he was the head of the meat department. We had several discussions when we took lunch together. The others were much younger, college aged or so.
This was probably after your father worked there.
There was another grocery store further north on Division, also on the west side, smaller than Lenger’s, perhaps your father worked there but I don’t remember them having a meat department. Run by a father and his gorgeous blonde daughter. I remember buying snacks in there but not much else.

Woops, when I started there, there was another older man who worked meats, usually would be seen leaning over with arms resting on the meat counter. I forgot about him. He may have been a meat cutter, but also have forgotten his name. He also wore glasses and had grey hair going white

I would appreciate any information about the “National School Of Meat Cutting” Toledo Ohio, particularly from any students.
About the courses, photos of the building, number of students?
I have only heard good things about the school.
We are considering establishing
a school in Northern Ohio for meat cutting and sausage making, been making sausage as Germans for 100 years plus years of meat cutting and training experience.

To the person who’s dad went to the national school of meat cutting in Toledo Ohio, My dad also went there and I think it was 1950, His name was Robert Williams, he was from Youngwood Pennsylvania but later moved to Parma Ohio where i was raised. They may have known each other. He passed away in February (2011) at 82 and I an still trying to get over it. I was sorting and found his binders with booklets in them.
