Swift & Company's
1918 Earnings
How They Affected You
During the twelve months
ended Nov. 2, 1918 (its fiscal
year). Swift 8c Company trans
acted the larg est volume of busi
ness on the smallest margin of
profit in its history.
Profits of the meat business—under
regulations of the United States Food
Administration — were limited to a
maximum of 9 per cent on capital
employed but not to exceed VA cents
per dollar of sales.
Swift & Company in the regulated
departments earned 7-57 per cent on
capital employed and 2-04 cents per
dollar of sales, out of which had to be
paid interest on borrowed money and
taxes. Here is how these earnings
affect you.
I
Live-Stock Raiser—
Swift & Company killed 14,948,000
head of livestock, which weighed
alive, 4,971,500,000 pounds.
Swift & Company made a profit of
only a fraction of a cent per pound
liveweight.
!
!■
Consumer—
The sales of our meat departments
were 4,012,579,000 pounds on which
our earnings were less than A cent
per pound.
The per capita consumption of meat
in the United States is given as 170
pounds. If a consumer purchased only
Swift & Company's products he would
contribute only about 78 cents a year,
or VA cents a week as profit to the
company.

EXTREME OF TIME'S CHANGES
'Old S wimmln' Hole" Didn't Meaeure
Up to the Memory of Enthusiastic
Old-Timer.
Riley's verses on 'The Old Swim

a friend of ours, the other day. "Be
cause our old swimming hole re
mains one of the sweetest memories
of my boyhood. 'Beisel's Bend' we
called the place—the creek made n
wide curve, there, between high
wooded banks, and it deepened just
at the turn. When a boy could wade
in breast deep to the upstream end
of the 'hole,' launch himself des
perately downstream, and struggle
across its ten yards, dog-fashion, he
belonged. Sometimes the boy got
panic-stricken when his feet could
no longer find bottom, and there
were narrow escapes every summer,
but no fatalities.
"Well, I always wanted to go back
to Beisel's Bend and have another
swim there. I have dreamed about
it for years. And last week I went.
Of course the stieam looked shrunk
en—I expected that ; and muddy—I
remembered it as crystal-clear. But
I waded in, at the upper end of the
hole. The two boys with me launched
themselves on their perilous passage,
and puffed bravely across. Then I
started. In the deepest place the old
panic seized me. I» felt downward
with my feet. I struck bottom.

Rapidly she explained to Laura how

An usher directed lier to the balcony

she waited until the operator hud fin

He could give her little information
other than to furnish her with the ad

pictures. She could scarcely wait until

could not rest and In a short time she
stood In front of the tiny desk beside
the glittering engine.
"Is Mr. Burnham, a fireman, here?"
she asked with trembling voice. The
