The United States Department of Agriculture informs us that you as an average American Citizen, cat about one hundred and eighty-two pounds of meat (181.83 lbs.) in a year. . Based on theae figure, if you had purchased all tfyour meat foods from us, Swift & Company woujd hare profited to the extetit of 48 cents during. the first eight months of our present fiscal year. In that eight months we averaged to make two--v fifths of a cent on each pound of meat and all other products sold. This profit you paid us equals 6 cents a month or just about one street car fare. More than 30,000 shareholders looking to us as trustees of their invested money, had to be paid a reasonable return out of your 6 cents a month. Volume alone made this possible. Now figure for yourself how Government inter ference in the operations of the packing business is going to reduce your meat bill! Lot o. Mod yoa a Swift "DoUmr." It wffl kotarsmt yoo.
