The Federal rade COMMISSION IN Its recent report on
war profits stated that the five large meat packers have
been prohteerng and that they have monopoly OF the
market.
These conclusions fair and just matters OF
concern only to those engaged in the meat packing
business but to every other citizen of country.
~r ~<N
The figures given profits misleading and the
statement that the packers have monopoly is unsup
ported by the facts
=
The packers mentioned in the report stand ready to
prove their profits reasonable and necessary.
The meat business one of the largest American indus
tries ANY citizen who would familarize himself with
it's details must be prepared for large totals
The report states that the aggregate profits of four large
packers were S 40 100000 for the three years.
This sum is compared with 81 100000 as the average
annual profit for the three years before the making
it appear that the war profit $l2 100000 greater
than the pre-war profit
o1eGnee~@s",
This compares three year profit with oneyear profit
"a manfestly unfair method Of comparison. 1t is not
only misleading but the Federal Trade Commission
apparently has made mistake in the figures themselves.
The aggregate three-year profit Of $40,00O,O0O was
earned on sales of four and half billion dollars
1t means about three cents each dollar of sales
mere fraction of cent per pound OF product.
Packers profits are negligible factor in prices of live
stock and meats No other large business is conducted
upon such small margins of profit

Furthermore and this is very important-only small
portion of this profit has been paid in dividends he
balance has been put back into the businesses 1t had to

Are the Packers PrOfiteerS?
Plain Facts About the Meat Business

The additional profit makes only fair return this,
and has been stated the larger portion of the profits
earned has been used finance huge stocks of goods and
to provide additions anti improvements made necessary
by the enormous demands of our army and navy and
the Allies. :
If you business man you will appreciate the sgnh-
canoe of these facts. If you unacquainted with
business, talk this matter over with business
acquaintance your banker, say-and ask him to
compare profits of the packing industry with those of
any other large industry at the present time.
No evidence offered by the Federal Trade Commission
in support of the statement that the large packers have
monopoly. The Commissions own report shows the
large number and Importance of other packers.
The packers mentioned in the statement stand ready to
prove any fair minded person that they are in keen
competition with eaSh other and that they have no
power to manipulate prices
@*sa~Ns~~
If this were not true they would not dare to make this
positive statement
Furthermore government figures show that the FIVE
large packers mentioned in the report account for only
about one-thrd of the meat business of the country

They have been able do big job for your government
