TELLS SENATORS
ABOUT BEEF COSTS
This May Throw Some Light on
the Price You Pay for

nine months. his company had made
no money whatever on beef"
This statement Is doubtless well
nigh Incredible to the average man.
Yet it was made in full knowledge that
the senators had access to the COM
pany's books.
Recovering from the first shock, this
same average man win say, Yes, but
the packers are shrewd; what they do
not make on the beef they more than
make up on the hides"
But even this Illusion was destined
to be shattered. Mf. White explained
that his statement included everything
that was derived from the steer as
purchased-the hide, fat, even the In
testines which are used largely for
sausage castings.
Make Money, Nevertheless.
Wen the packers make money-how
do they do it? Mr. White admitted
that they did, quoting figures secured
by auditors Of the Food Administers
tion, to the effect that packers profits
ou food commodities Of all kind last
year were 1 6/1O cents on each dol

such things as sausage. shortening.
canned meats, etc. in addition to fresh
meats, hams and bacon. On all the
products Of his company, Mr.. White
explained, comprising both foods and
inedibie commodities, the profits dur
ing the same period were $40 cents
on each dollar sale.
All of which would lead many to
say that the packing business is not
well understood. 1t isn't. Yet as one

profits, should be familiar matters to

from the number OF crossing tragedies,
