HE statement issued by the 'Department of Labor .concerning
the business of The'VVilliarn Davies Company Limited has
, „. . •
been given.ayidespread circulation throughout the (country and
provoked public unrest, , • 's
Whatever the technical wording of the report .was, the effect has
been that the newspapers have publi4ted that "the profits on. Bacon
alone" of this Company "for 1916" were about "five millions of
dollars!! This interpretation of the official report not surprising
In view of certain statements that tlk,...cpmmissioner of the Cost of

There were two individual cases of profiteering. in 1916 and that
had these cases occurred since the passage of 'the cost of living

, .
but correct conclusions. •
The William Davies -Conapany, being a private concern, has fol-
lowed the 7e. ractice of all private corporations, except When it made a
bond issue in 1011, in that it has not published reports of its assets and
liabilities or profit and loss. The present circumstance,. however, in
which a Government Official has led the liublic to false 'conclusions,
makes it Advisable for this Company, for both the public interest and
its own iriterest, to •publiSh particulars of itabusiness as well aapoirt
out the error a the statement of the Government OffiCial
For the lasefiscal year ending IVIarch nth, 1917, The William, Davies COM-.
pany bought and killed 1,043,000 head of Live Stock (Cattle, Hoge and Sheep)
This, plus purchases of outside Meats, produced 160,000,000 pounds of Meats:
The Company handled 6,550,090 pounds of Butter and Cheese, 5,650,000 dozens
of Eggs, and.inanufictiired. e$3,500,000 tins of 'Canned Goods. • , ; •
The net profits on these were .68 cents (or two-thirds- of a cent) per 'pound on
meats, 1.04.cents on Butter and Cheese; 1.04 cents per dozen on Eggs, and .47 •
cents (or slightly less than one-half a cent) per 'tin on Canned Goods. These •
prclAts include, profits on all By -Products derived from these accounts. .
• During the year the Company served at its retail stores 7,500,000 customers,
, the average Purchase of each eustemeraNkti-S5e.-,• and the net Profit upon -each
pale was .5-8 of ,1 cent. 4, • ,
• The turnover of the Company from alt its operations for the -last fiscal year •
ending March nth, 1917, was $40,000,000. The net percentage of profit uppn
this turnover,' after deducting war tax,' was 1,69'per Cent., or incluchug,.war tax •
8.45 per cent.
The William. Davies Company has assets of $13,94-,009 of Which $3,865,000
is tied up in fixed investments. • •
• To provide the nereseary. facilities for the increased volume of business the
Company expended $750,000 in buildings and equipment during the' year.
Companies of other eltaraetcr present no mdre reasonable statement of profit .'
and loss based 'upon the investments made in the business. °
• The William Davies ,Company offered to the Imperil fiuthorities,,as well as •
to

-and Pork -an Beans at the service of the authorities, on the basis of cost his an

' It is true The William Davies CompanY, 191fi,exported,• '
.07,791,000 'pounds of Bacon, -but we db not Mims how the
-
margin of .5.05 cents per pound is arrived at by O'Connor,
as ;there were no figures' to justify- such a conclusibn. The •
p e a e margin is arriv a y taking e
• ,average cost per pound of incoming product from theaveinge
--selling price per pound Of outgoing product.. This may bp •
a rough way of estimating the gross margin when dealing 2 •
With. small figures, but, when dealing with figures 'the size
that Mr. O'Connor has to deal with, a very small fraction of
a cent perpound of error makes a very iniportant difference .
, in the total, and one must be careful to make sure that the
-outgoing product is -Abe same 'finished merehandise Of the
_
',incoming inoduct,-reported,Ton,
Allow3ng it to pass. however. as a rough estifnate, we _
, wish to point out -(first) --the inquiry of the Coinntissioner . •
allowed only for ,incoming freight and ;unloading charges.
and Made no provision Whatsoever for operating charges of, -
any kind, such as labor, curing' materials, "refrigeration; et
cetera. Such actual charges on the. 97,791,000 pounds. -
exported were 14,162,000 -;-or 1:2 ceuta' per pound. This
amount covered:all charges up to the point df placing the
Bacon on cars f.o.b. packing -house, In addition to this was
the actual cost to land and sell this 97,791,000 pounds in Eng, .
land after leaving the packing' house, which,involved-chargea
• of 2.9 Cents per pound -or $24836,000. Thus 22 cents per • :
pound included inland and ocean freight, landing charges, war
• and marine insurance, cables, and selling commission to agents: -
The ocean freight and war risk alone would make • up 2.4 -
cents of the 'charge of 2.9 cents per peund. This 12 cents.
plus 2.9. cents -a total of 4:1 cents7--mest be deducted from
Mr. O'Connor's inargin_of .5...04._cents_per found, leaving a
•margin•Of .95 cents, or slightly less than a cent per -pound, .
• which still has to be reduced,becanse of the error of premises
and because of' fnither factors ivhich•havezto be Considered

It is qu,ite, eNncient some of the Other packers did • not
show selling selling Values in the country in which the goods -were
sold -a' proceeding qiiite proper, as the fonts subinited to be
filled in were inde.finite and ambiguous, thiiipermitting with-
out charge of •evation •a; variety of interpretation as to the
•informatiOn required. It is 'thus possible :that of all the -
figures submitted by the different packers that no two sets .
qf costs and. sales.priees are determined at the same common
point. It is this difference of interpretation_of what was
required that accounts l'Or • the difference of the •alleged -
"margin" made by the different, companies. Common,
conclusions, hewever, have been drawn by the author Of the
_ report from Varying:bases of premises, • , • '
The figures- of the Egg -business were -submitted oft the':
same basis as Bacon,' and similar deductionsImust be made.
(Second),--The-above iirarginib-furtherredueedintatT
the author of this inquiry singled out the Bacon figures as an
item • hi which the selling price Shows an alleged imprpper
• advances over cost, but he did not give us -credit for the
statements of other products, of which•figures were submitted
. the selling prices ,of were under cost. • The reason
of •this was that through failure to inquire the Department
entirely overlooked the fact that product tnay come m as

or, in anotherinstance„:enterthe factory as beef and goontik-___'

no mention -was cured and left the factory In the form of
• Bacon, and was, therefore, entered on the outgoing side of the
• Bacon sheet -the result igthat the Bacon sales are increased
: by this amount over the incoming stocks of Bacon, and, like-
• • wise,'fhe sheet showing sales of pork is reduced byllie amount
• that went out in the form .of Bacon. If the Department
takes one set of figures that show favorable to the ompany
•
• they should take another set of figures that shovi unfavorable, '
as the principle in either case the seine, and failure to do so
looks , if the: author . of the report was exercising more
