Bt dier eok ae ted Conditions Now Improving With Packers, Report CHICAGO, Aug. 8—Tho packing industry has about completed its post- war readjustment and the position of both producer and packer should rap- idly improve, Thomas E. Wilson, pres- ident of the Institute of American Meat Packers told hundreds of pack- ers from all sections of the country in opening the three-day annual con- vention here today. Mr. Wilson presented a survey of 170 non-packer industries which he compared with a survey of. packing companies to show that the non-pack- ers did less than four times as much as the packers and made more than 100 times as much profit. The pack- ing companies surveyed carned pro- fits of $7,218,067 on an investment of approximately $590,000,000 and sales of $3,013,002,000, he said. He also presented a table to show price declines in wholesale meat prod ucts during the past year, ranging from 16 per cent to 4 Tper cent. Prac- tically all by-products are lower than in 1913, he asserted. ‘The per capita consumption of meat and lard in the United States in 1920 was 154.3 pounds as compared. with 163.3 pounds in 1918, representing a potential loss of 1,365,000,000 pounds, he said.
