Margin OF Profit.

The industry is operated on mar

at retail. Their entire output Is sold
at wholesale TO many thousands OF
dealers in various parts of the world.
There are hundreds OF local slaughter.
ers throughout the United States.

tion with the packer doing an inter
state and international business Like
wise the packer must sell in compe.
tItlon with the local slaughterers
There are no secret processes in the
industry. no complicated and e1pen.
sive factories. and as live stock can
be purchased In almost every hamlet
and city. and the preparation OF
meats Is simple In the extreme. local
slaughterlng will long remain a fac.
