Swift Company
Made No Profit
The consumer would
pay only IA cent a
pound less for his
dressed beef.
If Swift & Company
waived all profit on
cattle, and gave it to
consumers in the form of
lower beef prices, this
would reduce the cost
to the average consumer
less than25 cents per year
for all the beef he eats.
intact, the packers pro-
fit is SO insignificant that
if surrendered to the con-
sumner the effect upon
retail meat prices would
be practically nothing.
It is because Of the
volume Of meat hand

in Swift & Company's
business receives a salts
