ABOUTJEEFCOSTS;
i
Thfs May Throw Some Light on.
the Price You Pay for j
Beefsteak. i
Testifying reently before a body of
senators In Washington, a vice-president
of one of the large packing con
oftni (F. Eilsoo White of Armour and
Company) made the astounding state
ment that $0 far In their fiscal year,
which would cover the past eight or
n months, his company had "nde
no mn'y whatever on beef."
This statement Is doubtless well
nigh incredible to the average man.
Tt It was made In full knowledge that
th senators had access to the com
pany's books.
Recovering from the first shock, flils
same average man will say, "Yes, but
tJh packers are shrewd; what they do
not make on the beef they more than
make up on the hides."
But even this Illusion was destined
to h shattered. Mr. White explained
that his statement included everything
tost was derived from the steer as
purchased the hide, fat, even the in
testines which are used largely for
sausage casings.
Make Money, Nevertheless.
Well the packers make money how
do they do It? Mr. White admitted
that they did, quoting figures secured
by auditors of the Food Administra
tion, to the effect that packers' profits
on food commodities of all kind last
year were 1 610 cents on each dol
lar taken In. These would Include
such things as sausage, shortening,
canned meats, etc., In addition to fresh
meats, hams and bacon. On all the
products of his company, Mr. White
explained, comprising both-foods and
Inedible commodities, the profits dur
ing the same period were 1 810 cents
on each dollar sale.
All of which would lead many to
say that the packing business is not
well understood. It Isn't. Yet an one
of the leading Industries of the coun
try, Its workings and, above all, Its
profits, should be familiar matters to
us. It is quite useless to orate against
the high cost of living without digging
Into some of these fundamentals.
By-Producta at Market Values.
One of the most enlightening bits of
Mr. White's testimony was his ex
planation of the way In which , cost
price of beef is arrived at. If a steer
Is bought at $125.00 and hides are
bringing $18.00 in the open market,
then HilU.00 is credited to the cost of
the steer. If hides are selling at $23.00
that amount Is credited. The visceral
fat, offal and everything else that
comes from the steer are likewise
credited at their prevailing market
values. What remains Is taken as the
cost price of the meat. Tbe beef car
cass Is then shipped to one of the lo
cal distributing branch houses, and
the manager there is given the cost
price with instructions to sell the beef
at a profit If he can. But In anv event.
whether the local market be lively or
dull, he must sell for what he can get,
for the commodity Is a perishable one
and must be sold.
Manufacturer's Profit on By-Products.
However, there is another hitch to
tho packing business, quite as little
understood apparently, that goes to
show how a loss on fresh meats may
be accompanied by a profit on the to
tal amount of business done. Take,
for example, the banjo 'strings afore
mentioned, which are made from the
intestines of sheep. The department
that makes banjo strings (and like
wise surgical ligatures, tennis strings,
etc.,) "buys" the Intestines from the
sheep-killing department, paying ex
actly tne same price that these bring
when sold to the outside market. Ou
this basis the string department manu
factures Its strings and sells them,
bringing a profit into the business.
In like maimer the fertilizer dennrt-
ment buys blood and tankage; the soap
department buys fats; the glue depart
ment buys hoots, hnrns, bones and
sinews; and so on through the list of
"by-products." The fertiliser, the
soap and the glue, Just as the rrmslr
strings, bring lu a manufacturer's
profit.
In all cases these by-products,
whether they be sold to outside man
nfarhirprg or to one of tbe manufac
turlng departments In the business (at
the same prevailing market price), are
credited to tbe cost of the meat nnr-
tln of the animals, Just as In the In
stance of the hides mentioned above
Thus the "utilization of hv-nrorlucts'
system of which we have heard much,
and th method by which It Is con
ducted, show the packers' manufactur
Ing profit on a treat variety of com
modifies ranging all the way from
pharmaceuticals to clue, do. In renlltv.
bear the burden of fresh meat prices.
