It is not so generally. understood that the retail demand for fresh meat varies tremendously also, and that in consequence, the price obtained by Armour and Company fluctuates, too. A sudden wave of intense heat; a severe blizzard which blocks roads and makes transportation difficult; heavy receipts of fish or game; local-killed meats coming on the markets in small communities—all or any of these factors have a marked effect on the demand for fresh meats. When fresh meat is finished at the plants it is shipped to Armour branch houses located in more than 400 centers o1 consumption. And, this meat is shipped unsold. The branch house manager re- ceives with it a memorandum of what it cost to produce the meat. It is a simple matter then for him to determine what he must seek to get for it if he is to showa profit. And, he must sell it in the open market, in direct competition with other packers’ branch houses, local abattoirs, and so forth. Also, he must face the ur- certainties of weather, heavy receipts of fish and fowl and, often, unexnected and unusual circumstances. Branch house managers must— because storage facilities demand it—dispose of their stock each week so far as possible. This often necessitates selling below cost. Thus, if statistics be consulted, it will be found that the selling price of Armour and Company’s fresh meats parallels the price of livestock and is constantly further affected by the conditions mentioned. Under the heading of “unusual circum- stances” for instance, would come the re- cent epidemic of Spanish Influenza. Stat- istics gathered by Armour and Company show that while the epidemic was at its height fresh meat purchases the country over fell off no less than 25 per cent. With these facts in view, fair-minded readers must comprehend that it is not possibie f or Armour and Company to fix . price of meats.
