You feel that retail meat prices are too high, Your retailer says ne has to pay higher prices to the packers. Swift & Company prove that out of every dollar the retailer pays to the packers for meat, 2 cents is for packers’ profit, 13 cents is for operating expenses, and 85 cents goes to the stock raiser; and that the prices of live stock and meat move up and down togetHer. The live-stock raiser points to rising costs of raising live stock. Labor reminds us that higher wages must gohandin hand with the new cost of living. === No one, apparently, is responsible. No one, apparently, is benefited by higher prices and higher income. We are all living on a high-priced scale. One trouble is, that the numbei' of dollars has multiplied faster than the quantity of goods, so that each dollar buys less than formerly, Swift & Company, U. S. A.

Despite intense artillery YOUR TELEPHONE SERVICE IN PEACE, WAR and RECONSTRUCTION PEACE An ABUNDANCE OF MATERIALS for telephone construction purposes, an always available supply of labor, a well knit business organization, and normal and long anticipated demands for service — ‘Texernone SERVICE of the type that New York City received in those pre-war days was within the bounds of possibility. WAR Bor THEN CAME THE DAY when the nation squared its jaw and turned its face toward war—when industry in general lined up behind the nation in one solid phalanx to bring about the Great Result. ’ Tuerr WAS NO LONGER AN ABUNDANCE of labor and material available for any purpose not directly connected with the prosecution of the war. Thousands of highly trained telephone men and women were called upon to devote all their time and skill to meeting the needs of the government. Anp NEITHER WAS THERE the same normal demand for service. The candle was burned at both ends, While the supplies of the things that made service possible at all fell far below normal, the demand for the service rose steadily until New York City reached the high-water mark of three and one-quarter million calls every twenty-four hours! New YORK CITY received during this period the best telephone service that war-time condi- tions would permit, but it was not and could not be the same type of service that the City en- joyed in days of Peace. RECONSTRUCTION We HAVE GONE THROUGH the troubled period of war and we face to-day the important period of reconstruction. Bor IT HAS NOT BEEN POSSIBLE to overcome in a few months the handicaps imposed by nearly two years of restricted construction. New buildings and completed switchboards can- not be improvised nor can large numbers of additional employees be trained to the highest point of efficiency in so short a period of time. We HAVE NOT YET BEEN ABLE, under these conditions, to bring your telephone service back to the same high standards that characterized it in pre-war days. Bor THE SAME POLICY OF STRIVING to give to the Biggest City in the World the Best Telephone Service in the World still exists, and to-day our efforts are centered in the work of supplying the most efficient service that the present unsettled conditions will permit. May we expect your confidence and cooperation while waiting for that period of normality to which all business is looking forward? —_——-- oH ‘ - feod and ammunition through the | /@st night at the Waldorf-Astoria iy i i pom and se vs Neavy artillery barrage, Later in the | the Ladies’ Auxiliary of St Vincent's |) * ne one ” day he nicered for observation | Hospital, During the war this eae 0) J 2 e addres 5 Private Jota Pet 8 Paul Was Killed nce, Home address, C.
