WHO GETS THE MONEY?

An analysis recently made by the
Division of Markets of the Massachu-
setts Department Of Agriculture, of
the charges exacted by the various
middlenen, indicate that the whole
saler, and the jobber operate on sub
stantially the same gross margin, al
though there is d larger element of
risk in the business of the wholesaler,
his transactions are relatively few and
of large size. The jobber. on the other
hand, bears a relatively small risk,
selling i'll large quantities, and de,
pending on rapid turnover for his pro-
fit.
The jobber doubtless performs a
more important function in the distrib
ution OF the extremely perishable
fruits and vegetables than is possible
in the marketing Of such products as
potatoes. Strawberries, peaches, as.
paragus and like produce require ex-
teetfingly rapid distribution, and the
wholesaler is not equipped to make
the many small ard widely scattered
sales which this necessitates. The job
Der with his extensive clientele and
adequate delivery equipment is able
10 do this efficiently. While the whole
saler might be able to perform the
whole function of distributing pota-
toes. from the car to the retailer, it
should be pointed out that since the
jobber is needed for. the marketing Of
more parishable produce, he may as
we'll take a part in the marketing of
potatoes also.
Who gets the money when the con-
sumer buys potatoes? The retailers
margin between the purchase and sale
price, is the amount the consumer
pays for having a stock Of potatoes
near his home, for having il put in
small lots. standardized, tied Up in
convenient Packages, etc, and per-
haps delivered at his door. Similarly
the wholesalers margin is the price
paid him by the consumer for the
functions which he performs handl
ing, sorting, storing and grading for
the risk Of buying in large lots and
selling again in small lots.
AS the result Of an exhaustive
market survey made by the Massacha
setts Division Of Markets, it was
learned that As per cent Of the con-
sumers dollar spent for potatoes goes
to the grower. 4 per cent TO the coun
try dealer or shipper, II per cent
towards freight charges, Maine to Bos
ton, 5 per cent TO the wholesaler or
carlot receiver, s per cent to the job
