operations.
No one thing in a packing business is
particularly difficult for men trained, to
do it; but no one thing is enougli" '
Thousands of other operations, pro

fit together all these ousands of simple
operations. ' ; . r
The success with which a packing
business performs its function of supplying
the best possible meat products to the con
sumer with , the greatest possible benefit
to both him and the producer depends upon
the energy, brains, experience, arid faith
ful effort of the men trainedin the business.'
Swift & Company turns the producer's
live stock into meat for the consumer at
a profit of only a fraction of a cent a pound,
because it fits these operations together
with the least waste, overlapping, and
friction. x -
