Swift & Company’s 1918 Earnings t 'Jht r ># ** »*•<> 4^' # ' -4^-V’ How They Affected You <*• T .. ^ *• <*. *' , During the twelve months ended Nov. 2, 1918 (its fiscal year), Swift & Company trans acted the largest volume of busi ness on the smallest margin of profit in its history. '’W 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 2% cents per dollar of sales. Swift ft Company in the regulated departments earned 7.57 per cent on capital employed and 2-04 cents per dollar of teW, out of which had to be paid interest on borrowed money and Here is how these earnings affect you. Live-Stock Raiser- swift a Company killed 14,948,000 bead of livestock, which weifhad • alive, 4,971,500,000 pound*. Swift A Company mr i-‘ a profit of only a fraction of a cent per pound Uveweight The sale* of our meat department* were 4,012,579,000 pounds on which our earnings ware lasa than H cent < per pound. •„ # » The per capita consumption of meat In the United States is given as 170 pounds. If a consumer purchased only Swift ft Company’s products he would contribute only stout 78 cents a year, or 1H cents a week as profit to the company. Swift & Company, U.S. A.

Bennett was foreman at the Brook, lyn Navy Yard. I'nrle Sam’s hive of industry ffir the eountry’*. defense where thousands of skilled, work, men toil at the nation’s vital work. It was from the ways of this iL'rer-; yard tjjat some of our greatest clreajnaujrhts were ].iunch*sl . Me Bennett had a part in this work and there he saw the e^dution of th • Navy worketi out. Today Mr. Ben. nett, sved is retired, living at t*#h flairs Ave., Brooklyn- H' Is still the conservative.- carefully speaking man of the Navy Yard <l?.y.<. and so the story he recently told will have added force. "For a. long time. ” Mr. Bennett explained, "I kept having a pain in ,mr chesl. and a full, iteavy. bloated feeling in my stomach and abdomen. It felt as if I had eaten something that disagreed wit!i me. but 1 could n’t tell what.. My food did not digest, but seemed to sour and lie like a lump. • I got so I rouldn t eat vegetables at all- I lived on eggs and milk, and lots of timer I didn’t have an appetite even for that diet. Besides, I had night sweats and I could not really rest more than an hour or two at night, and then only when I was all tired out. I had to be so tired I lust dropped off to sleep. 1 took lots of medicine and was treated many times, hut' I just kept on feeling bad. But now,’’ Bennett continued. "I feel better in every way. 1 can sleep all night long. I have a good appetite and can eat anything with pleasure be_ I cause ngr stomach is easy and do«y» ! not distress me. but digests my ; fond. 1 feel so good I make it a ; rule to walk twenty to thirty blocks | each day. "What t* 1 ' 8 for. me? Why Tanlar. No many people told me about Tanlac that, though I really did not believe all of it because ! | didn’t think any medicine could be ; as gi>od as they., said it was. 1 de. i rlded to try it. And. I only took . two bottles,’’ be added. Tanlac, the reoonsfructhe, system ; purifier and tonic, is designed to go to ih,> root of such troubles as Mr. J Bennett had. ft - is designed tJ 1 create real digestion and assimila. ; tion of food that is good and nour ishing and so build strength through blood end tissues.
