EXPANSION PUSHED
BY FOOD INDUSTRY
z. NJ. Chester Points to Record
Spending for New Equipment
During Last Year.

BY Cambridge Associates
Food professors in 1887 built rec
ord amount of new plants, bought 10
per cent more general machinery, food
equipment and motor trucks than in
the preceding year, increased employ
ment of wage-earners to q record level,
and enlarged their purchases from pri-
mary producers in this country and
abroad, according to C. M. Chester,
chairman, General Foods Corp.
Retail food prices near the year end
were less than per cent above those
OF 1896, about 26 per cent higher than
their record low level in 1888, and l8
per cent lower than at the peak of
1929" he added.
Striving to keep costs to a mini
mum, the food industry spent more
than $35,000,000 on the erection Of
some 255 new plants and around
$3.50, ,000, 900 on general machinery,
processing equipment and trucks. It
also spurred research and expanded
merchandising activities with the re-
suit that retail sales in all food stores,
excluding eating and drinking estab-
lishments, approximated $1O,6s2 ,400,-
000-the highest total since the $12,-
520, ,594, 900 peak in 1929.
"The gain Of per cent in retail
food store sales over 1886 brought
about rise Of per cent in the num-
Der Of wage-earners in food processing
plants and an increase Of IL per cent
in the employment Of farmers and
