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 perishable product
must be handed 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 ofinteiligence,
loyalty, devotion to the task, are met
IN the personnel of Swift & Company.
Yet the profit is only fraction OF a cent
rer Mound with costs at minimum.
How can the workings of this deli
cate human mechanism be improved
upon?

direction would add TO our efficiency

WINTER TO SAVE REDS?
capture of Petrograd by Yudcnitch
Now Seems Doubtful


Now Seems Doubtful
London, Oct. 27.-Winter, moving
southwark from the Arctic regions, is
coming to the aid of Bo1sheviki troops
in Petrograd and the ability of Cen
era1 Yudenitch to capture the former
Russian capital before cold weather
puts an end to his campaign seems
doubtful.
Soviet forces, fighting desperately
against the Northwestern Russian
army, fhave succeeded in recapturing
Tsarsk oye-Seio and Pavloysk, south of
Petrograd, and appear to be in posi-
ton to prolong the defense Of the
city for an indefinite period. Some of
the best soldiers in the ranks of the
soviet army are said to have been
rushed to Petrograd from Moscow.
and it is believed they formed the
main portion of the Red forces which
have initiated what appears to be a
successful counter offensive Yude-
nitchs troops are reported to have
fallen back along the front south of
Petrograd, but unofficial reports
would seem to indicate they have
moved nearer Petrograd on the line
running from CATCHING to Krasnaia
Gorka. lit is said the town of Gurila,
on this front, has been taken from the

Furious fighting is going on in and
around Kiev, which was taken last
week by General Denikine's forces.
Lettish troops now are holding
Dunamunde below Riga, and have
maintained their control of the right
bank of the Duna river.
