Swift & Company'* growth ha* been the natural and inevitable result of na tional and international need*. Large-scale production and distribution are necessary to convert the live stock of the West into meat and by products, and to distribute them over long distances to the oonsuming centers of the East and abroad. Only *n organization like that of Swift & Company, with its many packing plants, hun dred* of distributing houses, and thousands of refrigerator cars, would have been able to handle the varying seasonal supplies of live stock and meet the present war emergency by supplying, without interruption; First— The U. S. soldier* anil the Allie* in Europe by «hipping a* much a* 800 car load* of meat product* in a »ingle week! Second— The cantonment* in the United State*. Third — The retailer* upon whom the American public dt pends for it* daily supply of meat. But many people aslc—Do producers and consumer* pay too much for the complex service rendered? Everyone, we believe, concedes the effi ciency of the Swift Ac Company organization —in performing a big job tn a big way at a minimum of expense. Swift A Company's total profit in 1917 was less than 4 cents on each dollar of sale* of meat and by products. Elimination of this profit would have had practically no effect on live stock and meat prices.
