Swift & Company's 1919 Earnings How They Affected You During the twelve months ended November 1, 1919, (its fiscal year), Swift & Company transacted its large volume of business on the smallest margin of profit in its history. Sales over $1,200,000,000.00 Net earnings $13,870,181.34 : I Our shipments were in excess of 5,500,000,000 lbs. , This means that our earnings were less than ll cents on each dollar of sales, or a quarter of a cent on each pound shipped. v Consumer ' ' ' The average 'consumer eats about z lb. of meat per day 180 lbs. per year. - If he r purchased only Swift & Company products he would have contributed only 45 cents -(180 lbs. V4 cent a pound) a year profit to Swift & Company for its investment and service, less than one cent per week. ' .... Our earnings. were so small as to have. prac tically no effect on the family meat bill. Live Stock Raiser Swift & Company handled in 1919 over 16,000,000 head of live stock. You can figure for yourself that our earnings of l1, cents on each dollar of sales are too small to affect the price you received for your stock. We paid all it was humanly possible to pay considering what the meat and by-products could be sold for. Swift & Company, U. S. A.

H B H S H B H B H B H S H B H TWEEDS ADITORIAL Over a hundred years ago, Sir Walter Scott, through his poems such as "The Lay of the Last Minstrel," and "The Lady of the Lake" made fam ous the river Tweed district. In fact, Londoners learned to know the name Tweed as familiarly as they knew their own Thames. About t. he same time, a London merchant who regularly received woolen cloth from a mill in Southern Scotland, employed a new man. Now the Scottish word for twill was then "tweel," and when a shipment of cloth was receipt ed for by the new clerk, he misinterpreted the writ ing and reported to his employer that some Tweeds had arrived. The mistake was natural enough since he had heard the word Tweed so frequently through . Scott's genius. Howbeit, the employer took the hint which was thrown him and at once placed the goods on sale as "Tweeds." The name was a success from the start, and gradually those twills, or rweels as the .Scotch called them, became known as Tweeds.
