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

Tor twelve year* William T.
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.
