Delicate Mechanism

Despite its scope Swift &
Company is a business of in
finite details, requiring infinite
attention.
Experienced men must know
livestock buying with a knowl-
edge Of weight, price, the amount
and quality of meat the live
animals will yield.
Each manufacturing operation must
be done with expert skill and scientific
precision. A highly p~erishable product
must be handled with speed and care
to avoid loss.
Chemists, engineers, accountants,
and other specialists are required to
take care of our intricate problems.
Alert wisdom and judgment must
be used In getting stocks of goods into
the open channels of demand through
our four hundred branch houses.
Branch house organizations must
show activity and energy to sell at the
market in the face of acute competi-
ton from other large packers, and
hundreds Of small ones.
All these requirements ofintelligence,
loyalty, devotion to the task, are met
in the personnel of Swift & Company.
