A dozen carburetors in one has been
designed for auto use.
Blowout patches are merely lem-

Avoid car tracks and sharp stones
to get high tire mileage.
Skidding around corners grinds the
rubber off the tire treads.
A horn at the rear of the auto may.
be used to “urn pedestrians when
backing the car.
From 25 to 30 per cent of all autos
produced this year were enclosed cars.
Eighty-one different makes of cars
were en'tcrcd for display atthe New

.1 An Open Letter
Somé time ago Swift & Company enclosed in some of ‘ .
its food products sold in cartons, the following information: " f g
If Swift & Company made no profit at all, the .
consumer would pay on an average only ‘ i
a quarter of a cent a pound less. This would . i
amount to approximately 45 cents a year for . t,
a, all the meat that the average consumer eats. "
{a The packer’s profit is so insignificant that if.
l‘ eliminated, it would have little or no effect on
retail meat prices or the price paid for
live animals. ' _
If the average family bought only Swift &
Company’s meats, it would pay us as profit
“ only about 5 cents a week.
One of these inserts was returned to us recently in an
envelope bearing a Norwalk,‘ Conn, post-mark, having
written across it a statement which questioned the accu-
racy of the facts presented. As the message bore no Signa-
ture, Swift 8: Company takes this method of reply.
The facts presented below are for our fiscal year 1922: _'
g Earnings available for shareholders $13, 049, 217.03
Percentage of earnings to
shareholders' investment . . 6.2 per cent
Weight” of total sales. more than 4,900,000,000 lbs. "
Profit per pound. . . . 26/100 of scent
Average consumption of meat per
person per year (U. S. Depart-
ment of Agriculture figures) . . 145 lbs.
Profit per person per year (145 x .0026) 39 cents
Ifan average family (4% persons) ‘
bought only Swift& Company .
meat, it would thus pay Swift .

We trust that the writer of the anonymous message
may see this, and thus be assured thatthe factsasstated ‘ .
by us are correct.
