Helped Build
Our Business
Do you think it’s light to save
money?
Swift & Company’s business
has been built up partly by selling
capital stock for cash and partly
by thrifty saving, putting some of
cur earnings each year back into
the business to increase facilities
for production.
That is what most all of us seek
to do—save part of cur earnings fcr
future usefulness.
It is the way American indus
tries have been built up. It means
the least drain on the. financial
Resources of the country.
For the past twenty-lour years
Cwift & Company has made an
average profit frcm all sources of
11.3 percent on investment (capi
tal and surplus), and 2.3 cents on
each dollar of sales—a fraction of
a cent per pound. Out of this we
have paid dividends and saved
something to help us keep pace
with a growing country.

In days of old when knights were bold
And barons held their away.
They took their orders from thetr wives
Juat as men do today. :
Growing Sensitive.
“Do you place a kind act to yonr
credit every day?”
“I sometimes hesitate,” replied Sen
ator Sorghum. “It Is getting so you
can’t boost a friend without being sus
pected of playing politics.*"
. An Exception.
“It is strange that statesman friend
of your thinks It Is his duty-to whip
his children.”
“Why Is It strange?”
"Because, I understand he Is'opposed
to a duty on hides.”
The Things They Say.
Flora—How do you manage to get
a kick out of the same old movie plots
all the time?
Fauna—I.earn lip reading, my dear,
and you’ll forget there is a plot l—
Flint Fun.
The Test.
“So you think that telephone girl Is
phenomenally bright?”
“Indeed, I do. I had to tell her only
three tiroes In fifteen minutes what
number I wanted when she got It for
me.”
