Armour e. Co. Sales 100000, 900
Last Year.


The business of the great packing
houses Is highly organized, and be.
cause 1t presents such a notable ex'
ample of effective organization and Is
of such vast extent and influence the
financial reports concerning 1t are
matters of general public interest.
For this reason wide publicity was
given to the report Of Armour & Co.
for the fiscal year ended Oct. %, 1910,
and 1t is desirable that the signif-
canoe Of that report should be prop
erly understood. The capital Of the
company is $20,O00,000. There is also
surplus of $73,983,313, which repre-
sents the accumulation of many years
in buildings, stores, icehouses, ETC..
which have been erected in all parts
of the United States This surplus.
added to the capital, gives a total OF
$50, 9S3,313, upon which the net earn
ings were $5,S17,721, or a little more
than per cent.
That, 1t will be seen, Is not great
return on the investment, but there is
another feature of the case that de-
serves special comment. The total
net sales amounted to $250,000, 900.
and the profit on this enormous bust
ness was only 2.33 per cent. This fact
Is not presented as a novelty, but 1t
is certainly remarkable. 1t means
close figuring upon tremendous out
put, economy, efficiency and exact
methods in every part Of compli-
Gated system, an organization without
which profits would soon be turned to
loss.-Chicago Record Herald.
