In fact, the packer's pro fit is so insignificant that if surrendered to the con sumer the effect upon retail meat prices would be practically nothing. It is because of the vol u me o f meat hand led that the investor in Swift & Company's: business receives a satis factory return upon his money. ! ; These figures for 1917 are convincing: The profit of $1.29 per head averages 4 cent per pound on dressed beief?
