SOME "EATS" I
Mrs. M. Thompson is to be com-
plimented for the excelunt dinner she
served to the bachelor boarders on i
Thanksgiving Day. Although Hoover '
was present no objections were made j
to the many good things that were
heaped on the table. Of course, no
cake was served, but that was prob-'
ably on account of the scarcity of 1
sugar. Had Mrs. Thompson been
given more time, she might have
thought of something more In the
market to serve to the guests, but
they, themselves, were unable to i
think of anything that was missing. !
We hope St. Peter will not get
short of cooks and call tor Mrs. 1
Thompson too soon. I

An International Service Built
on Tiny Profits Per Pound
Some Industries have been able to get in
step with war demands more quickly than
others.
In many cases mighty plants have sprung
up but at a prodigious cost
The packing industry was able to adapt
itself to unheard of demands more quickly,
perhaps, than any other industry. And this
was because the vast equipment of packing
plants, refrigerator cars, branch houses, etc,
had been gradually developed to its present
state of efficiency, so that in the crucial hour
it became a mighty international system for
war service.
And how had this development taken place?
Not by making vast inroads into the capi
tal wealth of the country, but largely by using,
from year to year, a portion of the profits, to
provide for expansion.
Swift & Company's profits have always been so
tiny, compared with sales, that they have had practic
ally no effect on the price of meat (amounting to only
a fraction of a cent per pound).
And yet the owners of the business have been
content with reasonable returns on their capital, and
have been able, year after year, to put part of the
profits back into the business to provide for its
expansion.
These fractions of tiny profits have been repaid to
to the public many fold in the form of better service,
and better and cheaper meat, and made it possible for
Swift & Company to meet, undaunted, the sudden
cry for meat for overseas.
Could any other method of financing a vital
industry involve less hardship to the people of the
country? Could there be a better instance of true
"profit-sharing" than this return in added usefulness
and in national preparedness ?
