INDUSTRIES and business
es are Just like individuals.
They form habits, have ideals
and express character. Care
less habits, wrong ideals and
lack of character are usually
the result of thoughtless en-
deavor, forgetfulness Of the
future and selfish actions
brought about by the frenzy
of keen competition.
Concerns, like individuals,
must learn to have a vision on
the future-meaSure the aC-
tons of today on the effects
tomorrow = and consider
profits accordingly.
GENERALLY speaking-the Great
War found the clothing field forming
some very bad habits. With the exception
of few houses, the clothing makers and
custom tailorsn were educating men to
think of style before quality-low Price
before service. Frankly the average man
had become all "jazzed" up on his style
tastes and had.liule idea of what constr
tuted VALUE.
STYLES were becoming more bizarre
each seasonI Men we're getting SO that
thew did not care so much of the goodness
in clothes as they cared to wear something
original, different from their friends.

At S5,000,000,0OO

Chicago, Feb h-The following
statement was issued today by the
Institute of American Meat Packers;
Annual reports of packing COM
ranies up TO this time indicate that
the meat packing industry In the
United States during the year aust
closed showed an output Of products
having a value in excess OF $4,000
900 900 It il estimated that the rate
OF profit throughout the indusry
averaged not more than a cent and a
half on each dollar Of saler.
THE estimate of the average rate
Of profit Is based on reports publicly
announced and on estimates furnish ID
by members OF the Institute IF
American Meat Packers in several
parts Of the country. II is fair as
sumption that no other industry oper
ates on such narrow margin of
profit This profit comes to only a
fraction of cent per pound OF pro-
ducr,
The figures given here apply only
70 those plants conducting slaughter
ing or packing or both under Federal
inspection Such plants are widely
distributed and adversely owned. The
n1ber OF companies operating
slaughterinE or packing establish
rrents under Federal inspection Is
more than half-a-thousan nd.
Tn addition. there are many hun
creds Of establishm ents which do not
carry on an Interstate business and
hence are not subject to Federal in
rnsetion The total number :. OF
