Swift & Company
Made No Profit
The consumer would
pay only V4 cent a
pound less for his
dressed beef.
If Swift & Company
waivdd all profit on
cattle and gave itxto
consumers in the form' of
.lower beef prices this
would reduce the cost
to the average consumer
less than 25 cents per year
for all the beef he eats.
In fact the packer's pro-
fit is so insignificant that
if surrendered to the con-
sumer the effect upon
retail meat prices would
be practically nothing.
It is because of the
volume of meat hand-
led that the. - investor
in Swift & Company's
business receives a satis-
factory return upon his
money.
