Worst of any [were] who served in the cooking rooms. These people could not be shown to the visitor,—for [these] men, who worked in tank rooms full of steam[,] their peculiar trouble was that they fell into the vats; and when they were fished out, there was never enough of them left to be worth exhibiting,—sometimes they would be overlooked for days, till all but the bones of them had gone out to the world as Durham’s Pure Leaf Lard!
1906, Upton Sinclair, The Jungle
