Less Than 2 Cents
Per Dollar of Sales
Swift & Company’s average
earnings in 1923 were less than two
cents per dollar of sales.
We often compare our earnings
‘with sales, in order to show what
a slight effect the earnings have on
prices of the products we handle.
The reason we can operate on
such a small margin is that we do
a large volume of business, and
get a fairly rapid turnover.
In 1923 our sales were about eight
times as great as the average stock
of goods carriecL
Our earnings in 1923 were less
than 9 per cent on capital stock;
and only about 6 per cent on the
total investment that our 46,000
/ shareholders have in the business.
