The need for this publicity has been apparent to us for sev eral years. The gross misrepresentation to which we have recently been subjected has convinced us that we should no longer delay in putting before the public the basic facts of our business, relying oh the fair-mindedness of the American people. The feeling against the American packer is based largely on the belief that the income and well-being of the producer and consumer are adversely affected, by the packers’ operations, resulting in unreasonably large profits. Swift & Company’s net profit is reasonable, and represents an insignificant factor in the cost of living. For the fiscal year 1917 the total sales and net profit of Swift & Company were as follows: Sales $875,000,000. Profits $34,650,000. . . \ v * 1 , -y'-v' *. ■ y >s This is equivalent to a $3,465. profit on a business of $87,500. If Swift & Company had made no profit at all, the cattle raiser would have received only cne-eighth of a cent per pound more for his cattle, or the consumer would have saved only one-quarter of a cent per pound on dressed beef.
