Is Dollars
Is Cents

When Swift & Company
paid, say,-13 dollars per hun
dredweight for live beef cattle
last year, the profit was only
Is cents! In other words, if we
had paid $1313, we would have
made no profit,
Or, if we had received a
quarter of cent per pound less
for dressed beef we would have
made no profit.
1t is doubtful whether any
other business is run on so close
margin of profit.
This is bringing the producer
and the consumer pretty close
together which should be the
object of any industry turning
raw material into useful form.
This remarkable showing is due to
enormous volume. perfected facilities
packing plants strategicaly located,
branch houses, refrigerator cars, etc.,
and an army of men and women
IL chosen and trained to do their special
work.
This, and many other points of
interest, are found in the Swift &
Company Year Book for 1919, just
published which is brought out for the
public as well as for the $4,000 Swift
& Company shareholders.
The Year Book also represents the
packers side of the Federal Trade
Commission investigation, upon which
Congress is asked to base action
against the industry.
Many who have never heard the
packers side are sending for the Year
Book.
