Packers’ Profits
Are Regulated
The public should understand that
the profits of the packers have been
limited by the Food Administration
since November 1, 1917. For this pur
pose, the business of Swift & Company
is now divided into three classes:
Class 1 includes such products as beef,
pork, mutton, oleomargarine and
others that are essentially animal
products. Profits are limited to 9
per cent of the capital employed in
these departments, (including sur
plus and borrowed money), or not
to exceed two and a half cents on
each dollar of sales.
Class 2 includes the soap, glue,
fertilizer, and other departments
more or less associated with the
meat business. Many of these de
partments are in competition with
outside businesses whose profits
are not limited. Profits in this class
are restricted to 15 per cent of the
capital employed.
Class 3 includes outside investments,
such as those in stock yards, and
the operation of packing plants in
foreign countries. Profits in this
class are not limited.
Total profits for all departments
together in 1918 will probably be
between three and four per cent on
an increased volume of sales.
The restrictions absolutely guar
antee a reasonable relation between
live stock prices and wholesale meat
prices, because the packer’s profit can
not possibly average more than a
fraction of a cent per pound of product.
Since the profits on meat (Class 1)
are running only about 2 cents on each
dollar of sales, we have to depend on
the profits from soap, glue, fertilizer
(Class 2, also limited) and other depart
ments, (Cass 3) to obtain reasonable
earnings on capital.
Swift & Company is conducting
its business so as to come within these
limitations.
