M$L rlK or 3ft hWcompareBeSr Coal Profits? f j Swift & Company has frequently stated I that its profit on beef averages only one- I fourth of a cent a pound, and hence has I practically no effect on the price. j I Comparison has been made by the Federal j I Trade Commission of this profit with the I profit on coal, and it has pointed out that ' I anthracite coal operators are content with I a profit of 25 cents a ton, whereas the beef I profit of one-fourth ofa cent a pound means I a profit of $5.00 a ton. I The comparison does not point out that I anthracite coal at the seaboard is worth at I wholesale about $7.00 a ton, whereas a ton I of beef of fair quality is worth about I $400.00 wholesale. j ' " I To carry the comparison further, the' 25 ' I cent profit on coal is 3!2 per cent of the 1 I $7.00 value. I The $5.00 profit on beef is only V4 per I cent of the $400.00 value. I The profit has little effect on price in either case, I but has less effect on the price of beef than on the j price of coal . ' I Coal may be stored in the open air indefinitely; I beef must be kept in expensive coolers because it is ; I highly perishable and must be refrigerated. I Coalis handled by the carload or ton; beef is debV I ered to retailers by the pound or hundred weight I Methods of handling are vastly different Coalis I handled in open cars; beef must be shipped in I refrigerator cars at an even temperature.
