Do Fog Think There is
No Competition?
If anyone thinks there is no
competition amongst the big pack
ers he ought to go through a day's
work with Swift & Company. .
Let him begin at the pens when
the live stock comes in; let him
try to buy a nice bunch of fat
steers quietly and at his own
price, without somebody's bidding
against him.
Let him realize the scrupulous
care taken at the plant that not
one thing is lost or wasted in
order that costs may be held to a
minimum
Let him go up into the office
where market reports are coming
in, and reports of what other
concerns are doing.
Let him watch the director of
the Swift Refrigerator fleet,
maneuvering it over the face of
the country like a fleet of battle
ships at sea.
Let him take a trip with a Swift
& Company salesman and try to
sell a few orders of meat.
Let him stay at a branch house
for an hour or two and see the
retail meat dealers drive their bar
gains to the last penny as they
shop around among the packers'
branch houses, the wholesale
dealers, and the local packing plants.
And then, when the day is over,
let him have half an hour in the
accounting department, where he
can see for himself on. what small
profits the business is done. (Less
than 4 cents on each dollar of sales.)
If he still thinks there is no com
petition in the meat business it will
be because he wants to think so.
