Do You Think There is No Competition? If anyone thinks there uno compel.r'on mnongst tbe big packer* he ought to go through a day's work with Swift & Company. Let hirr. begin at the pens w_.en the litre stock comes in; let him try to buy a nice bunch of fat steers quietly and at his own price without somebody's bidding against him. Let him realise the scrupulous care taken at the plant that not one'thing is lost or wasted in order that coats may be held to a minimum. i-et him go up into the office where market reports are com:ng in.—and reports of what other concerns are doing. Let him watch the direct o' of the Swift Refrigerator fleet, maneuvering it over the face of the country like a fleet of battljships at sex Let him take a trip with 'a Swift & Company salesman and try to sell a few orders of meal Let him stay at a branch house for an hour or two and aee the retail meat dealers drive their bargains to the las: penny as they shop cround among the packers’ branch houses, the w riolesale dealers, and the local packing plants. And then, when the d.-y is over, let him have half an hour in the accounting department, where he can see for himself on what small profits the business is done. (Less than 4 cents on "nety ^»ii n r of sales.) If he still thinks there is no competition in the meat business it will be because be wants to think so. Swift & Company, U. S. A.

What an Owner Cannot do

Beyond a certain point *n OWNER cannot regulate the CONTRACTOR he employ*.

You can cage * leopard but you cannot change his spots or his point of view. But what an Owner CAN 00 is to select, in the first place, a Contractor who has an established reputation for integrity, efficiency and results.
