and then meat will be cheaper in Bir-
mingham," the expert continued. AL
though SO much has been said about
1t the cost of meat is based on the old,
old law of supply and demand. Give
us enough cattle to make the meat
from and We'll guarantee to sell it at
the right price
The meat industry as carried on
through the wholesalers in Birmingham
is, of course, a great industry whether
living comes high or low and whether
times are good or bad. But it happens
that it is a particularly big business
in this town because of the fact that
the meat sold by the wholesalers to the
retailers within the past six months has
doubled the quantity sold the six
months before.
There's more than that to the meat
business in this town." the expert con-
tinued- "fFhe consumer of this district
u mean now the average ultimate con-
sumer-won't accept for his table the
kind of beef-that sells in the restaur-
ants as small steaks at 20 and 40 cents
a plate. He doesn't want any bob
meat. He forces us to get him the
best. And the best Is scarce every
where-and naturally comes high"

RETAIL GROCERS
Of BIRMINGHAM
SELL Pure FOOD
Great Reforms in Method of
Conducting Business in
Recent Years
STORE SURROUNDINGS
MUST BE SANITARY
s Growth of Business an Excellent Ba-
roneter on Progress and Prosper
ity of the Entire District.
Some of the Features

Very naturally the retail grocery
trade in a town of Birmipgham's I'M
portance and environs is a tremendous
!. 1y big factor in the city's business life
and quite naturally also the retail sro-
Gerry trade of the town reflects in strik-
. ing degree the character. condition and
prosperity of the people.
In both respects the retail trade In
. Birmingham fully lives UP to the COM
munity and its guowth has been steady
and of most permanent sort For In
stance 1t is the testimony of travelling
men that this city has as pretty and as
substantial a line of retail grocery
stores as any city in the country pro-
portionate to its size and that In one
respect it's retail grocery houses surpass
those of any other city Of whatever
size.
That respect is one that appeals par
; ticularly to the patrons of the stores,
for 1t shows that the Birmingham retail
stores keep a higher quality of goods,
cleaner displays and exemplify the
"pure food" standards 20 higher de-
grec than the similar merchants of the
other cities of the country.
"Pure Food" Stores
Considerable of the credit for this of
course goes to the high class wholesale
grocerymen who supply these stores
with nothing but the finest groceries.
But in even a larger degree the credit
must be given to the retailers them
selves, for they have kept up the clean
illness of their stores, have adopted
sovery modern device to promote sani-
stary perfection and have even gone so
far as to virtually give notice that un-
The Birmingham age-herald., 1913-06-18

der no circumstances will they sell any
but the highest class of goods.
In this connection it is interesting
of the modern pure food grocery store
in Birmingha today as compared to
decade ago.
Now nothing of all the groceries sold
is exposed to infection. Screens cover
every perishab1e department of pro-
ducts, while the increase in the use
of packages has become something tre-
mendous. 1t wasn't SO very many years
ago that the ordinary citizen buying Il
pound of crac.,ers got them of necessity
out of an open barrel and had to rest
content with the assurance that his
crackers had been paved over" by at
least three different people between the
grocer's and his table.
Changes in System
Now the percentage of the people
who use barrel crackers has fallen so
as to he almost negligible. Everybody
buys his crackers in packages, his but
ter and his cheese in packages, most
often, and nearly all the bread sold is
so wrapped up In paraffine paper that
1t is never touched by hand from the
Is served.
So It is that the Birmingham retailers
by their progressive methods have
greatly helped to sanitize thep grocery
business and they have had no small
part In educating the people to the
real consumers profit in pure food.
Included in Birmingham retail gro.
Gerry stores are several so great and
so diversified in stocks that they might
easily be classed among the department
stores and the business OF any one CT
these stores in one day has come to
represent thousands of dollars. What 10
more to the credit of the stores in
general, however, Is that all of them
are keeping progress with the best
though in sanitation and general
quality and cleanliness. Indeed, there
are several stores in town which have
taken off the old grocery sign to sup
plant it with the modern pure food
store"
Serve Large Territory
The stores of Birmingham serve
such an extensive territory that of ne
cessity the groccrymen were forced
from the outset to provide extraordin-
airy delivery systems. How well they
have done it may be judged from the
general admission that the retail gro
Gerry deliveries of Birmingham are made
more promptly In more tasteful wagons
than in any other city in the south.
The motor of course has been made to
play it's part in this part of the trade;
many powerful machines being utilized
both in the urban and the suburban
sections as far from the limits as 40
miles.
Commenting upon the growth of the
retail grocery trade in Birmingham
within the past five years dealer said:
"It has been beyond expectations. The
A&.. l.,,et 1t -.tk h.
been raised to the point where it is
of literally mammoth proportions, run
upon a basis of the purest goods at
the best prices, sold under the cleanest
conditions. OF course you expect to
measure the development of grocery
business by the growth OF the town
containing it. But in this case l think
that the stores of this town have really
progressed. If possible, a little faster
than the municipality.
The Birmingham age-herald., 1913-06-18


bob meat" he went on. "let me tell
you what the Congress of the United
States ought to do by way of saving
more real money and providing more
good meat for the people than has ever
been suggested. The Congress should
pass a law forbidding the killing of
calves for at least two years. This
would, in the nature of things. have a
tendency to increase the output of the
farmer and the ranchman. But it would
do more than that, for it would improve
the quality along with the quantity of
marketable meat and the price of the
porterhouse that is sold to the Birming-
ham citizen would go down to some
thing near the price he pays for the
small steak now
There is an interesting sidelight on
the increased cost of meat which goes
with the statement of the expert:
How much do you suppose it costs
the house wife to have her meat thor
oughly chilled?" he asked. 81 don't
mean chilled In the butcher shop or
in the wholesale shop---and chilled
through. 1t is known that meat to be
perfect when 1t reaches the consumer
must go through this process. So in
the large wholesale meat houses large
rooms are provided where the beef Is
taken and kept for five days at the
lesst in the midst of tons and tons of
ice. No retail butcher or meat dealer
would be able to furnish these Chill
rooms," for they mean the expenditure
of vast amount of space and the use
of constant wagon loads of ice. Natur-

OF THE PRODUCE
AND COMMISSION TRADE
Birmingham Dealers Buy Their Apples Peaches Green Vege
tables and Many Other Products in Caf Load Lots
Volume of Business Rivals Cities Twice It's Size

There is no account of anyone's having
written the romance or the produce and
commission business, but there is a ro-
nance connected with 1t and you can get
a taste of the romance along with the
viands if you will take a trip through
the produce section of Birmingham.
Stop Off, for instance, at cold storage
house, where thus early In the year hun
dreds upon hundreds of rosy checked
apples are peeping out from barrels and
ask the commission merchant to put q
price upon the most beautiful and tempt
ing of the fruit
THAT barrel there VIII cost you Just
81 more than this one. I've got to charge
that price for funny reason. When 1
sent my last order to the great apple
grower in New York state who supplies
me with my choicest Femues last fall, I
added line TO tile letter. 1t read:
And add three barrels of selected fruit
for client of mine who doesn't care
how much he pays SO long as he gets
the best apples there are growing.
Romance of the Apples
"Well," continued the commission man,
.'the consignment of apples reached me
in due season late in the fall of the year
.and l put them into cold storage. In 60
days came the bill and on the end of
the bill the apple grower had added
line himself. 1t read, Il am charging
you 81 extra for each of the three extra
barrels Of apples, not because the apples
in them are any better-because they
couldn't be--but because my daughter
sorted them out and packed them with
her own hands,.
How much of other romance there is
contained in the thousands of tons OF
produce and other fruits that are shipped
into the Birmingham markets for disposal
to the retailers every month will of course
never be known. But 1t is dollars to
doughnuts that there's many peach
eaten by Alabama consumers that could
tell tales of love under the tree it was
picked from, If it could speak, and there s
many prize potato in the barrels that
are sent here and then sent out again
that tore the hearts of the growers be-
fore they packed them up.
Come by Car Loads
Not alone the fruits, but vegetables,
both in and out of our regular season,
come by the carload to the Birmingham
commission merchant for cold storage and
disposal. Every known edible from the
eggplant to the pumpkin and the cauli-

STOCK RAISERS ARE RESPONSE
BILE FOR HIGH PRICES-"BOB"
LAW MAY CUT DOWN MEAT
BILLS

Just as long as the farmer and the
ranchman won't grow cattle enough in
this country to supply the trade the
price of course is going to be high to
the consumer, and the consumer
shouldn't wonder as much at the situa-
ton as he does"
That statement came from one of
the big packing companies represent
tatives in Birmingham In response to
the ancient question why it is that the
man who goes to the restaurant for
something to eat has to pay more than

hour of the day on which the animal
died to make the meal for him.
incidentally the sanitary features of
the meat business have come to pretty
nearly the millenial stage in Birming-
ham. Every piece of meat which leaves
the packing house has to be stamped
with the government seal by govern
ment inspectors and in this way the
consumer is doubly guarded against
any unwholesome meat. Tho govern
ment also sees to 1t that the animals
shipped to the slaughter houses and the
stock yards are given food and water in
sufficient quantities before they are
killed and that they are in prime con-
dition.
The Birmingham age-herald., 1913-06-18

flower are included In these and the CONF
mission merchant trade of the city has
been reduced to such a science that
through the aid of the cold storage there
Is nothing "out of season" any more.
While our home grown produce is coming
through the ground the commission men
are bringing in barrels and boxes of the
same vegetables ready for sale from far
ther south and when our own crops have
been exhausted up he bobs with fresh
consignments from the slower growing
states to the north, the east and tho
west
Thanks TO the cold storage plant he
can keep his fruit and vegetables I'm per-
feet freshness for delivery for more than
five months. II have taken peach out
of storage more than i've months after
1t was picked and shipped to me. I ate
it and l give you my word 1t had not
lost one bit of the flavor or aroma in all
that time"
Another great feature of the commission
business In this city is the tremendous
quantity of produce that is shipped out
by the big houses. That is the produce
grown by the Alabama farmer and In
spite of the tremendous retail deliveries
and consumption 1t amounts in a year
almost to as much as the commission
men bring in.
Trucking Pays Well
This Is particularly true of garden pro-
ducts in which there has been a large
increase during the past three years The
Alabama farmer is finding out more and
more that truck gardening pays mighty
we'll and the great commission houses
of the city all scramble for the home
grown produce" said O. well known
merchant. That is because the Alabama
gardener can produce just as good vege-
tables as any other gardener In the
world-and some vegetables he can grow
| much better. Besides when we buy from
him we are saved the cost of transporta-
| tion at least ono way and we know be-
sides when we buy his product that 1t
is fresh from the ground.
But when we are forced to buy the
| foreign vegetables we ntill know that they
are fresh when they reach our cold stor-
| age. In the first place that is due to
the fast refrigerator car and in the sec
ond place to the fact that Birmingham
| - so centrally located upon the great
| 6unk lines that lead to the great pro-
| duce centers of the country"
| The produce and commission business
| In Birmingham has grown amazingly in
the past five years and it now rivals that
of any city of twice its size in the entire
country.
