i High Cattle Prices 1 W I I Accompany | I High Beef Prices j If consumers are to pay less for gs beef, live-stock raisers naturally will gE receive less for cattle. If farmers are paid more for live S ' stock, consumers will necessarily pay more for meat. Swift & Company pays for cattle approximately 90 per cent of the price received for beef and by-products. The remaining 10 per cent pays for dressing, freight to market, operation S of distributing houses, and in most cases, delivery to the* retailer. Net EE profits also have to come out of this 10 per cent. w This margin cannot be squeezed EE arbitrarily without danger df crippling the only effective means of performing the complex service of converting cattle into meat and distributing this meat to the fighting forces and to g . consumers. == Swift & Company’s net profit on beef during 1917 was only *4 of a cent per pound. On all products, it was a little less than four /cents on each dollar of sales. Complete elimi- gg nation of these profits would not affect appreciably retail prices of meat, or farm prices of live stock. EE Swift & Company will be glad to • = co-operate in devising methods that s will improve conditions in the meat S and live stock industry. 1918 Year Book of interesting and £/ EEs instructive facts sent on request.
