But when he Rets off by himself and starts
to think he finds out that most so-called

permission to invest his money ia this brand

Consider now not what is said in be

Consider general conditions for the past
year. And note everywhere
that U.S. Tire dealers have

Choice Cuts

A few. months ago a
newspaper man visited
one of the wholesale mar
kets of Swift ot Company.
He wanted to see a re
tailer buy a short loin of
beef and then watch the
retailer sell the porter
house and sirloin steaks
from it over his counter.
He thought this would
make a good story.
The head of the market
tpek the reporter into
the "cooler" where ho
showed him a high c'.as
side of beef. With "a
wooden skewer he mat lend
off the short' loin and
said, "That is only 8 per
cent of the weight of the
whole side and it is sailing
for four times as much
as this piece (and ho
marked oft the "'chuck,'
which is about one-fourth
of the side of beei).
The wide variation in the wholesale price of various
cuts from the same side of beef is csused largely by
demand for the so-called choicer cuts. The others are, of
course, just as wholesome. .
It seems as though more people than ever are
demanding choicer cuts, and their demand sets (he price
If few people ask for tho forequarter cuts, the price of
forequarters will automatically drop to a figure low
enough to induce peoplj to buy because of cheapness.
Even though certain cuts sell for relatively high
prices, other cuts, due to lack of demand, sell so low that
our profit from all sources over a period of five years
averaged only a fraction of a cent a pound.
It is competition butween consumers for the choice
cuts that keeps prices for those cuts relatively high; an
equalizing demand for all parts of the carcass would
benefit producer, packer, retailer and consumer.
Our average wholesale selling price of all products
has fallen about 40 per cent since September 1920.
