PROFITS ON BEEFSTEAKS.

HOUSEWIVES cannot understand why they were forced
- to pay for beef in 1910 than they paid in 1914
nee the year book of Swift Co. shows that the
wholesale selling price Of beef was $500 in 1914 and
s1lR in 1916
Without local price, at hand it cannot be stated how
prices Of today compare with those OF last year but pos
sibiy housewives will recall that the 1910 price OF beef
steak high enough So the question arises: Is the
wholesale price of beef today any higher than it last
yesr'
The annual report Of the Swift company is interesting
10 househoders The statement of Louis + Swift presi-
dent Of the company gives the figures show that beef
prices Of the packer q lower in 9lb than in
1914 Yet last fall heard daily tales Of the higher
Of beefsteaks
Here IS subjey which should b, Of much interest t1
the who goes to the butcher today TO buy cut
Of beef. Perhaps the customer will ask the butcher how
retail prices be reconciled to the figures made by
Mr. Swift who is head of the greatest beef packing con
in the world
The prices of beef seem TO challenge an investigation
the part Of the Housewives league il il he found that
any family paid for beef last year than back in 1914
Can II be possible that any commodity being advanced
in price from a purely arbitrary standpoint Is any
dealer raising prices of fooduiis sympathy with the
prosperity of which we read so much about Is any
merchant asking mcey for subsistence supplies by
of false argument which has no bearing
whatever the commodity in question
Comparisons Of bee prices shown above are rather
startling For many months the readers OF newspapers
have been treated to almost daily of raising
values in the necessares of life Probably OF these
advances are justified probably many warranted
The official, Of the Housewives league will perform
great work II they will communicate with Louis + Swift
for the purpose Of finding more about the apparent
discrepancies in beef prieesI Perhaps Mr. Swift shed
good deal of light about the profits on beestcaks
