Y Now two-thirds of the consuming centers; with millions of people, are one to two thousand miles away from the principal live-stock producing sections, which are sparsely settled - . The American meat packing industry of today is the development of the best way to perform a national service. The function of providing meat had to develop accord-; ingly. Those men who first grasped the elements of the changing problem created the best facilities to meet it large packing plants ; and branch houses at strategic points, refrigerating equipment (including cart), car routes,; trained organization, profitable outlets for former'waste which became the natural, inevitable channels for the vast flow of meat across the country. r ci ; If there were a better way to perform this necessary service, American ingenuity and enterprise would have discovered it, and others would now be using it During 1918, Swift & Company has earned a profit on" meats (and meat by-products) of less than 2V2 cents per dollar of sales rtoo small a profit to have any appreciable effect on prices. r .
