the coal famine of 1918, no Board of

Worlds Most Modern and
Efficient Plant

For turning the live stock that arrives at this
market into food, a plant Of this kind receives a
certain profit.
The tonnage that runs through plant in
dayis enormous, and the more efficient the plant,
the less this tonnage has to be handled, and the
less labor used in putting live stock through a
plant Of this kind, the more profitable the bust
ness
Never has plant been built before that will
turn live stock into food products as economically
as will the plant Of the Skinner Packing Company
The Skinner Packing Company has a capital
OF $lO,OOO,OOO Most Of this capital has been
placed with far-seeing conservative investors Of
this Missouri Valley territory
Such plant has not been built in Omaha
heretofore.
While there are large, successful independent
packing plants at practically every other market
OF any consequence in the United States there has
heretofore been no real large independent pack
ing plant on this market which means that the
Skinner Packing Company represents a real
epoch to those who are interested in developing
and building the market here at Omaha

Meat Packing Business
Highly Profitable

The history OF the meat packing business is
one OF big return to the original investors There
has never been failure in the business by COM
panies that were properly financed but it is bust
ness that requires large capital
No plant in this country has ever opened up as
we'll financed and with as large an amount of
working capital back Of it as is today true of the
Skinner plant. Few, if any, plants have ever
opened up with so strong and experienced packing
house organization as is the organization that will
operate the plant of the Skinner Packing Com
pany
AS one illustration from page 8ll of part 2,
Government Report, the Federal Trade Commits
sions investigation of the Packing Industry
brought out the undisputed fact that the corpora
ton of Swift & Co. started with :. capital Of
100000, which was represented by the
assets and good will of the partnership
of Swift & Co.; and the stockholders paid
$240,0OO cash as loan for a year and
a half, and that the first dividend was paid Jan
uary Fl, 1886, per cent, amounting to $4,000;
and that the second dividend was paid October H.
1886, amounting to $91307427, which included
the repayment to the stockholders of the $4,000
loan, and 3,074.27, 23O per cent dividends on
the capital Of 900 within eighteen months Of
It's OISdulZdIlOu.
Most men interested in the great packing
companies of today were poor men within the life
time Of men now living. Today practically every
man who has been financially interested in any
one Of the great packing. companies for the past
Ntwenty years is millionaire, and those who had
large interests are multi ronaires.
Eighteen months ago the entire market value
Of the stock Of Swift & Co. was Silt O2O l12 Today
the market value of Swift & Co.'S stock, with it's
subsidiaries, is $327, 362548 In other words, if
you were fortunate enough to,have owned $4,000
worth at the market of Swift & Co.'S stock less
than eighteen months ago. your investment today
on the market, in addition to your interest would
show gain Of over $50 per cent This gain was
brought about to Swift & Co.'S stockholders
through stock dividends and the right to subscribe
for additional stock in the original company ana
subsidiaries at far below the market value.

more applications will completely dis
solve and entirely destroy every single
sign and trace of if, no matter how mtnl,
