One of the most attractive booklets
issued recently is the year book put
out by Swift & Company covering the
activities of the big packing concern
during the year 1917 Serving as an
introduction Is the address of the vice
president, r, f. Swift, to the stock
holders, In which he tells of the abnOr-
mally high prices paid for live stock
In Chicago and Of the prices obtained
for meat of the investigation by the
federal trade commission, and the IL
censing by the government of food dis
trlbuting agencies and the limiting of
profits on slaughtering and meat pack
ing to 9 per cent on money employed,
Mr., Swift also told with pride of the
$500 employees who had entered the
various branches Of the United States
service, and concluded with the state
ment that Swift & Company would do
their utmost to help win the war.
An interesting and llluminatiye sec
ton Of the booklet Is that devoted to
statistics Of live stock prices and pro
duction, and another Is given up to
telling 1.-THE packers service to pro-
Queer and consumer" Figures are
given showing that the net profit of
the company per head 1912 to 1916,
averaged $1.22 for cattle, less than 10
cents for sheep and less than So cents
for hogs. 1t is explained that the large
aggregate profits are due to the i'm
mense volume of business done.
The booklet is handsomely Illus
trated with photographs and color
prints and the cover Illustration, made
from a photograph Of a corn farm in
Ohio, IS especially attractive.
