EMPLOYEES BECOME
STOCKHOLDERS IN
SWIFT & CO.
Great Chicago Concern Sells Stock to
Its Many Employees at
Par Value.

More than 10000 employees of Swift
& Company are today vested with part
ownership in the packing concern.
Announcement has just been made of
the results that came Of the gigantic
profit sharing plan recently offered by
the compony to its people, The avid
ity with which workers, from label
stickers to managers, seized the op-
portunity to become partners in the
business, is nothing short of sensa-
tion at the company's headquarters in
Chicago
So great was the demand for shares
from employees that the company set
aside sufficient stock to take care of
such employees as are in the army and
navy and who will be back within the
next few months
"We are pleased" declared F. S.
Hayward, secretary of the company,
"at what we look on as vote of con-
fidence on the part of our employees.
Their response to our offer has been
fairly amazing. / believe today that
our stock ledgers will show a greater
proportion of employe shareholders
than any other large manufacturing
concern in the country"
Stock which had been turned into
the treasury some time ago afforded
the company an opportunity which it
had long sought-to offer shares to
employees at par. Accordingly, the
stock subscription books were opened
last May on the following plan:
Each employe earning up to 500 a
week was allowed to purchase one
share of stock at its par value, 500.
The market quotation is much above
this. Employees earning 500 and up to
$50 week were entitled to two
shares; $50 and up to $40 a week,
three shares; $40 and up to $50 a
week, four shares; $50 and over, five
shares. No employe was allowed to
purchase more than five shares. The
stock is to be paid for at the rate of 81
a share per week.
Employees whose economies for the
immediate future were committed to
the purchase of liberty bonds were
given the right to reserve stock. by
making $40 deposite on each share;
no further payment was required Of
them until they had completed pur-
chase of their war bonds. The only
pledge asked of any one taking ad-
vantage of the proposition was that he
should look on hisg purchase as an in
vestment and not Q speculation.

books. We had already 5000 share

ney of Campbell county: I'VE would
not have issued the warrant If we had
thought the chain of evidence was
