Swift & Company
Does Not Control Its

Material
:.! i
I---'
-t :
r -
Other industries can buy their raw
materials according to need or judgment
and set a selling price. They need
manufacture only what they can sell at j
their price.
Cotton wool wheat lumber iron;
steel and other non-perishables can be :
held either by their producers or their
users until needed.7'
But live stock comes to market eyery i
. day in fluctuating quantities from scat-
tered sources wholly uncontrolled and
at times withodt regard to market needs.
An immediate 'putlet must befgund;
for the perishable products at whatever:
price as only a 'very small proportion :
can be stored.
' ..No one . can foresee or stipulate what :
tbey shall bring; prices must fluctuate
from day to day to insure keeping the5
market clear. $
Only the most exacting care of every '
detail of distribution enables
Swift & Company to make the small
profit from all sources of a fraction of a
cent per nound!- necessary for it to con-
tinue to obtain capital and maintain
operations. -
