The people of the United States are
going to continue to eat this Winter no
matter what the condition of business
or employment. This Nation has never
had a famine and starvation will ac-
count for fewer deaths than nearly any
other cause.
In the light Of these facts, the prob
lem Of distribution is the factor which
Is engaging the food industries to the
exclusion Of nearly all other problems.
Nearly $4,000, 100000 will be spent for
food in 1890, according to figures COM
piled by Government agencies. This
sum Involves food and kindred products.
The food producers and distributors
know they can count on nearly billion
dollars a month from the demand Incl
dent to feeding the 1872 900 900 people of
the country Their problem Is to get
the food products to those inhabitants
as promptly, expeditiously and cheaply
as possible. On that depends their
profits. It is far more important than
the cost Of raw materials. Raw mate
rails are low at present. Wheat Is down,
meat and vegetables are at reasonable
prices. Coffee and tea have dropped.
The main thing is to get the products
into the hands Of consumers at low
costs.
Food products for the convenience of
Government statisticians are divided
into two groups. The first embraces
establishments engaged In production
Of butter, cheese, condensed milk, meats
and other animal products. The other
draws its raw commodity supplies from
mineral or vegetable sources. 1t takes
In bread and bakery products -four and
all other grain mill products. feeds, con-
fectionery, sugar, canned and preserved
fruits and vegetables, beverages and
manufactured ice.
Meats are the largest items Of the
animal product group. Strengthening
and meat-packing products this year
win total hetween $4,000. 100000 and

FOOD PRODUCERS ARE FACING
PROBLEMS OF DISTRIBUTION

SO, 100. 100000. Butter, cheese and
canned or evaporated milk sales will
total approximately 81 100, 100000. Fish
will account for around $70,0000 900. Ice
cream consumption will total about
1910, 900.
Bread and other bakery products,
-four and grain mill production will
have a total value of $4,000 600, 900.
Canned and preserved fruits and veg
Prepared cereals may drop to $780,
100000, but chewing gum sales are
likely to reach $65,000000. The value
of coffee and spices sold will be around
$3.50, 900 900, while confectionery will
account for nearly 100000, 900. The
sugar bill of the Nation will approx
mate $575 900, while vinegar and
cider sales will in all probability ex-
coed $l0,000,000.
These are wholesale prices. More
over, they represent a decided fall in
the general price level of commodities
as compared with a year or two years
ago. Some OF the lower cost of raw
materials has been passed on to con-
Sumers, but not all, and II these huge
sums are to be turned into a margin of
profit, even a narrow one, costs of dis
tribution must come down. This has
been the motive behind many of the
consultations Of food products COM
panies. In some cases the amalagama-
tons have yielded reductions in cost.
In others the mergers have not been so
successful. However, the general level
of efficiency in distribution Is being
steadily raised, TO the benefit OF both
producer and consumer.
The prosperity Of the food-producing
companies is of Importance to all other
businesses, especially at the moment,
because the annual pay rolls of the
plants manufacturing or preparing arti-
cles of food total around 1926, 900 900
year. Such q sum represents ire
mendous buying power for all busi-
nesses.
