Some stock men still think that Swift & Company and other big packers can pay as little for live-stock as they wish. Some consumers are still led to believe that the packers, can charge as much for dressed meat as they wish. This is not true. These prices are fixed by a. law of , human nature as old as human nature itself the law of supply and dematid. When more people want meat than there is meat to be had, the scramble along the line to get it for them sends prices up. When there is more meat than there are people 'who want it, the scramble all along the line to get rid of it within a few days, while it is still fresh, sends prices down. ' ' . When prices of meat go up, Swift & Company not only can pay thd . producer more, but Jioa to pay him more, or some other packer win. Similarly, when prices recede all down the line Swift & Company cannot continue to pay the producer, the same prices as before, and . . . - -----' i ....... SUU remain in me pactung uusaucsa , All the packer can do is to keep the expense of turning stock into meat at a minimum, so that the consumer can get as much' as possible for his money, and the producer as much as possible for his , live-stock. ' . . , Thanks to its splendid plants, modem methods, branch houses, car routes fleet of refrigerator cars, experience and organization, Swift & Company is able to pay for live cattle 90 per cent of what it receives for "beef and by-products, and to cover expense of production and distribution, as well aS its profit (a small fraction of a cent per, pound), out of the other 10 per cent , .Vv Swift & Company, U.
