ness Is precisely that there already
are laws and Fortune will call par
ticular attention to the one distrib-
utor in Chicago who tried to bring
milk to consumers at a lower price
and found himself in trouble with
the law.
Home Delivery
"The important point to keep in
mind is that the present price OF
milk is set by the cost of home de-
livery, service that many people
cannot afford" Fortune will declare.
Stores now make over half of all
sales of milk in a few big city mar
kets, and the trend to stores is APP
parently on the increase. There is
no disputing the fact that store dis
tribution is intrinsically cheaper
than home delivery, no disputing the
fact that there is powerful body
OF law and sentiment trying to keep
that differential from appearing"
Fortune will cite examples from
all over the country to show that
lower prices under store distribution
are an established, practical fact:
"Meadowmoor Diaries has man
aged to make dent in the milk
price and the milk business Of Chi
cago by low-cost selling through in
dependent grocery stores. But here
1t turns out that a company that
has tried to make money by getting
milk to the consumer at low prices
has had to fight labor, big business,
and the department OF agriculture
itself.
George johnson in Detroit has
sold milk at retail from central sta
tons at prices that have ranged
from two to four cents a quart I'M
der the going price.
Profit Realized
Highland Farms in Washington,
D. c., set up a chain of milk stations
selling at II cents when the normal
price was IA cents and is reported to
have netted its owner $75, 900 in one
year on an investment of 100000.
There is Ralphs' in Los Angeles.
a chain OF supermarkets that runs a
creamery OF its own and reports a
whopping return on the investment.
Ralphs' had led many of the price
cutting moves in the market, and
when the law was invoked to fix a
narrow differential between store
and home-delivery price, Ralphs' put
out a high quality ice cream at
around Is cents a quart.
1.-THE position of the big grocery
chains throws more light on the
central aspects of the problem"
Fortune will point out. "Take the
case of the progressive First Ma
tional chain, which started to sell
milk in its Boston stores at two
cents under the home-delivery price
and was increasing its business rap
idly until new law forced a one
cent differential as a maximum and,
for good measure, added that milk
sold in paper containers (Which re-
duce delivery cost should be priced
one cent above bottled milk. After
that law went into effect, milk con-
sumption in the Boston area drop
ped 100000 quarts a day.
