Margin Of Profit.

The industry is operated on mar
gin OF less than cents to each dol
lar Of sales. Swift & Co. do not sell
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,
who buy their live stock in competl-
tion with the packer doing an inter-
state and international business. Like
wise the packer must sell in compe-
titioD with the local slaughterers.
There are no secret processes in the
i9dustry, no complicated and expen-
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
sIaughterlng viii long remain fac
tor in the production of fresh meats
and provisions.
