Working For the
Consumer

The chain stores of America have
pledged themselves TO do everything
in their pOwe. to prevent the war
abroad from disrupting distribution
il this country, or leading TO un-
necessary increases in prices.
That is the Pist of Il letter re-
Gently sent Secretary of Agriculture
Wallace by John A. Logan, president
OF the National Association of Food
Chains. According to Mr.. Logan. il
is the desire and intent of organized
distributors to aid in further i'm
proving methods of distribution; to
make available when and as needed
the experience and facilities of the
distributors foi purchasing. as.iemb-
ling. warehOusing. etc; to continue
to cooperate with farmers in an eff
fort to maintain satisfactory mark
eIs: to continue TO maintain low
profit ratios and reasonable spreads
between the prices producers receive
and consumers pay; to cooperate
fully with agencies of government
when emergencies may arise: and to
assist in the development and exc
cution of any needed plans and pro-
grams that may be proven neces-
sary or desirable.
That's good news for producer and
consumer. many of whom wildly re-
member the chaotic conditions that
obtained during the World War. No
agency of distribution can do the
impossihle-it cannot prevent ma
tural price rises caused by supply
and demand or other economic laws,
But retailers can do much to pre-
vent unnatural price boosts. and
unnecessary d.slocation of markets.
And that is a service of immense i'm
pOrtance to all America.
There isn't person in the land
who isn't vitality interested in the
distribution OF goods from prOduc-
er to consumer at the lowest pOss-
ible overhead cost This policy
should be encouraged In all branches
