April is the first real spring month the leaves and blossoms
spring- out like magic, the grass grows greener, and everybody is
aroused to the many needs of the season. It is rather early to find
four-leaf clovers in the field, but you'll find in this Store, to-morrow
Nearly 1000 Four-Leaf Clover Signs
Indicating as Many Different Lots of
Seasonable Goods at Reduced Prices
Every department is well represented. The rule for Clover Day is that
each must offer numerous and unusual lots of desirable merchandise under the
regular prices. And if a sufficient number are not secured at a saving in the
market or through co-operation on the part of our friends, the manufacturers
hundreds of whom have helped to make Clover Day famous by making special
concessions then good lots are jjaken from our regular stock and reduced in
price.
In these times of higher cost of production, it pays to take advantage of the
special opportunities for saving money on Clover Day. Come as early as possible,
get a Clover Day Booklet as you enter the Store, then look for the FOUR-LEAF
CLOVER SIGNS they show the exact saving on each Clover Day Special.
There will be no "Golden Special" to-morrow, because scores of the Clover

High Cattle Prices
Accompany
High Beef Prices
If consumers are to pay less for beef,
live-stock raisers naturally will receive
less for cattle.
If farmers are paid more for live stock,
consumers will necessarily pay more for
meat.
Swift & Company pays for cattle approximately
90 per cent of the price received for beef and
by-products. The remaining 10 per cent pays for
dressing, freight to market, operation of distributing
houses, and in most cases, delivery to the retailer.
Net profits also have to come out of this 10 per cent.
This margin cannot be squeezed arbitrarily without
danger of crippling the only effective means of performing
the complex service of converting cattle into meat and dis
tributing this meat to the fighting forces and to consumers.
Swift & Company's net profit on beef during 1917 was
only 14 of a cent per pound. On all products, it was
a little less than four cents on each dollar of sales. Com
plete elimination of these profits would not affect appreciably
retail prices of meat, or farm prices of live stock.
Swift & Company will be glad to co-operate in devising
methods that will improve conditions in the meat and
live stock industry.
