' In many cases mighty plants have sprung up but at a prodigious cost. ' ; - The packing industry was able to adapt itself to, unheard of demands more quickly, perhaps, than any other industry. ' And this was because the vast equipment of packing ' plants, refrigerator cars, branch housas, etc., had been gradually developed to its present state of efficiency, so that in the crucial hour ' it became a mighty international system for war service. And how had this development taken place? , Not by making vast inroads into the capital capi-tal wealth of the country, but largely by using, from year to year, a portion of the profits, to provide for expansion. Swift & Company's profits have always been so tiny, compared with sales, that they have had practically practic-ally no effect on the price of meat (amounting to only a fraction of a cent per pound). ' And yet the owners of the business have been content with reasonable returns on their capital, and have been able, year after year, to put part of the profits back into the business to provide for, its expansion. These fractions of tiny profits have been repaid to to the public many fold in the form of better service, .... and better and cheaper meat, and made it possible for ' Swift & Company to meet, undaunted, the sudden cry for meat for overseas. -Could any other method of financing a vital 7 . industry Involve less hardship to the people of the country? Could there be a better instance of true : . "profit-sharing" than this return in added usefulness and in national preparedness ? Swift & Company, U. S. A.
