Simple Operations
Fitted Together

s The business of Swift & Company Is
the fitting together of many simple,
operations.
No one thing in a packing business IS
particularly difficult for men trained to
do it, but no one thing is enough.
Thousands of other operations pro-
perly performed, are necessary for the COM
pletcd processes. And some one must
fit together all these thousands of simple
operations.
The success with which packing
business performs its function of supplying
the best possible meat products to the con-
sumner with the greatest possible benefit
to both him and the producer depends upon
the energy, brains, experience, and faith
fuleffort of the men trained in the business.
Swift & Company turns the producers
live stock into meat for the consumer at
profit of only fraction of cent pound,
because it fits these operations together
with the least waste, overlapping, and
friction.
Do you believe government direction
could do it better2
