Swift & Company

Louis. st. Joseph, st. Paul and Fort
Worth. The same methods Of purchas-
ing cattle, sheep and hogs prevail at
all cities. At Chicago. which 10 the
largest market, there are about two
hundred and fifty buyers. representing
packers, local slaughterers In various
cities, and exporters. OF this number.
less than q score are employed by
Swift 4 Company.
The farmer ships his live stock to
Chicago. conslgns them to a commits
sion Arm at the Union Stock Yards,
who sees that they are unloaded and
put In pens. Then the buyers inspect
them, make their offers to the commits
sion dealer. who accepts or rejects as
his Judgment dictates. All buying must
be finished at 3 o'clock each day. and
the buyer must ny spot cash. If the
commission man has no satisfactory
offers, he can hold his stock over to
the next day. He gets his commission
from the farmer, and naturally strives
to get the highest possible price for his
client.

Margin Of PROFIT.

MARGIN of PROFIT.
The industry is operated on a mar
gin Of less than = cents to each dol
lar of sales. Swift & Co. do not sell
at wholesale to many thousands Of
dealers In various parts of the world.
There are hundreds OF local slaughter
crs throughout the United States. who
buy their live stock in competition
with the packer doing an interstate
and international business. Likewise
the packer must sell In competition
with the local slauShterers. There are
no secret processes in the industry, ne
complicated and expensive factories.
and as live stock a be purchased In
almost every hamlet and city. and the
preparation Of meats II simple in the
extreme, local slaughterng will long
remain q factor in the production Of
fresh meats and provisions.
Eeononie Advantage.
The large packing houses will, how
ever, always have these advantages;
Locations at the chief live stock cen
tiers, with the opportunity to buy the
best live stock: manufacturing in large
quantities, at the minimum Of ex'
pense; utilization OF all waste mate
rial; refrigeration; mechanical appli-
ances; highly efficient business man
agement. These advantages are re
flected in the quality of the packers
