The washington housewife
probably will reach into the re-
frigerator's freezing compart-
ment for at least part of the eve
ming meal.
She may, particularly if her
family is small and she holds
down a job outside the home,
bring from the grocery practi-
cally all of the dinner in frozen
form on a plate. 1t might con-
sist Of roast beef with gravy and
two or three vegetables, all
cooked. Popping it into the oven
would be the only preparation
involved.
She is one of millions making
the frozen food industry a BOOM
ing business.
Profits Bring Complaint.
But the industry complains
that profits are not in the boom
category.
Frozen food prices have been
going down. The industry says
that, in contrast, canned food
prices have been going up.
The frozen food people-they
are pretty much the same ones
producing and marketing canned
foods-are confronted with a
choice: They may concentrate on
top quality. smaller volume and
higher profit margins, Or they
may go after the mass market,
competing with canned and fresh
products on the basis Of price,
quality and ready availability.
The industry is moving toward
the latter course, according to
Edwin L. Morris, a partner in
the management engineering
firm of Booz, Allen & Hamilton.
which has made a study of the
industry. He reported on the
results of that study at the recent
convention of the National AS
sociation of Frozen Food Packers.
The association has had its head
quarters in Washington since its
organization in 1912.
Peas Lead in Sales.
On the price side, frozen peas
are selling at the Same-and in
some places a bit under the
price of canned peas. Chiefly
because of flavor, peas are the
biggest selling item in frozen
vegetables. The pack last year
was 204 million pounds, a little
under half the canned pea pack.
BY contrast, back in 1912 only IS
million pounds were frozen for
the market.
After frozen peas, next in
popularity are lima beans. Then
comes spinach the sand has
been washed out and it is ready
for the pot), green and wax
beans. and corn. At the bottom
of the list is rhubarb.
How the frozen vegetable busi-
ness has increased is illustrated
by Agriculture Department fig
ures. The 1941 pack was lot
million pounds; the 1851 pack,
ITO million pounds.
But the Gamers still outstrip
the freezers by a wide margin.
The per capita consumption of
frozen vegetables was about As
pounds last year, which is about
8 pounds on a fresh basis. The
consumption of canned foods,
however, was about Ais pounds.
equal to about IS pounds of
fresh vegetables.
Orange Tops Juices.
Just as peas are a good buy
among frozen vegetables, con-
centrated orange juice is a good
buy among the fruits and juices.
At some seasons of the year
frozen juice is less expensive
than buying the oranges and
squeezing them yourself.
The frozen orange juice busi-
ness has been phenomenal. In

Frozen Food Business Scars, But Not Profits

broken series Of figures back to
1887.
Frozen food production gen.
orally is a business of big COM
panies which also are in the
canned food business. But there
are numerous small concerns
which market products under
their own label and may supply
distributors under the distribu-
tors own labels. They may also
sell to the big companies which
market the products under their
nationally advertised brands.
Reports Decline in Prices.
Mr.. Morris, reporting on the
Booz, Allen & Hamilton sur
vey, said that while the price
level of canned foods last Sep
tember was 8 per cent above that
of December, 1850, frozen foods
had declined 10 per cent in price.
He remarked that this has
certainly put the squeeze on
profits" The profit bonanza"
commonly associated with the
early growth period of an in
dustry has been lacking, ac-
cording to Mr.. Morris. He said
the industry is going through a
rugged shakedown" period.
He warned that the industry
should look forward to continued
pressure to get retail prices low
er. That VIII mean distribution
costs will have to be cut.
One of the chief problems has
been the cost of keeping the
products refrigerated while they
are distributed. Some light on
this problem was given at the
Chicago convention by E. P.
Cough of Roanoke (Va.0 Frozen
Foods.
He reported his company
originally operated out of a
commercial warehouse and the
costs were 1.6 per cent of net
sales. The company then built
it's own freezer and cut the cost
down to 5 per cent.
Refrigerated warehouse rates
and warehouse labor pay both
have climbed. A refrigerated
truck which cost $4,000 in 1910
now costs $4,000, according TO
Mr.. Morris.
Few Investor Opportunities.
There are not many oppor-
tunities for an investor to ven-
ture his money in a company
solely in the business of pack
ing and distributing frozen
foods.
Birds Eye is just a part of
General Foods. Libby, Mcneil
& Libby have 40 plants, but only
a few are for frozen foods.
Stokely-Van Camp, Inc, have a
number of products and the
frozen food business is just part
of the whole. These companies
stocks are listed on the New
York Stock Exchange.
Minute Maid Corps principal
product is frozen orange juice
and it's principal plants are in
Florida. The Bing Crosby Min
ute Maid Corp, formed in 1949,
distributes the products in five
West Coast and Western States.
Seabrook Farms Co. of Bridge
ton, N. j.. packs frozen fruits
and vegetables, including french
fried potatoes, and also cans
some of its products. Minute
Maid and Seabrook stock are
traded over the counter.
Clinton Foods, Inc. distributes
frozen foods in fruit juices under
the Snow Crop name. 1t also
manufactures corn products and,
through subsidiaries, preserves,
jellles. peanut butter and other
products. It's stock is listed on

the crop year ending in the fall
OF 1946 only 226, 900 gallons were
frozen. In the year ending last
fall the total was AIT million
gallons.
It is chiefly the flavor that
sells it. Packers are trying to
get even more flavor into it. The
juice ordinarily is evaporated at
a temperature of only about 60
degrees, but under a high vac
uum. The low temperature keeps
the sugar from caramlizing.
Some Of the f1avor goes off in
the evaporation. The industry
is working to capture the vapor
containing the flavor and to
bubble it back through the juice.
Another method is to reduce the
bulk by more than one-fourth
and then to add fresh orange
juice.
Frozen orange Juice is mostly
a Florida industry. California
has turned to marketing frozen
lemonade concentrate, a COM
parative newcomer in the field.
In three years this business has
more than tripled.
Pineapple Lags.
Strawberries are the best
seller among the berries and
fruits. Cherries are second,
mostly going to bakers for pies
and to makers of preserves.
Peaches are third. Pineapple
lags. The explanation given is
that the pineapple packers have
a product readily acceptable on
a. canned basis.
Sales of frozen fish, both raw
and cooked, have been rising.
One of the largest frozen chicken
plants is that of the Birds Eye
division of General Foods at Po-
comoke City, Md. The company
is said to have had difficulty in
meeting the demand for chicken
pot pie.
Meats Of various kinds come
frozen. A package of steaks may
include pats of butter for their
cooking. Then there are such
specialtieS as waffleS (you supply
your own butter and sirup) rolls,
French fried and mashed po-
tatoes and pizza pie.
Frozen Vegetables Popular.
The high demand for frozen
vegetables is indicated by The
Stars 1853 Consumer Analysis.
a recently completed survey of
the Greater Washington market.
It showed that 85.6 per cent of
families in the area buy frozen
vegetables. In 1852 the percent
age was 1874 and in 1851 it
was 78.
The survey showed that 73
per cent of the families buy
frozen orange juice, while 385
per cent buy the canned product.
The frozen orange juice demand
has increased from 58.4 per cent
in 1851 and 68.3 per cent in 1852.
Frozen fruits are bought by
40.2 per cent of the families in
the area; frozen fish in packages
by 40.7 per cent and frozen
chicken or beef by 1879 per cent.
Not a Recent Development.
The frozen food business ac-
tually is not as recent a de-
velopment as some believe, al
though its boom is a postwar
development. During the war
it was difficult to get compress
orS and motors for freezer cases.
One of the earliest frozen
products was strawberries. They
were sold, usually with sugar
added, to ice cream makers. AS
far back as 1918 frozen fruits
were shipped from the North
west to preserve-makers in the
East. These products were "cold
packed" not quick frozen.
The Agriculture Department

fruit going back to 1925. For

IF there is one light opera pro-
duction for which the Cleveland
Heights outdoor amphitheatre
ideally is suited, it is "Brigadoon"
a delightful fantasy Of romance in
Scotland, which opened Monday,
August 3rd at Cain Park Theatre
for a two-week run.
Well known songs by Frederick
Loewe, a charming story by Alan
Jay Lerner and a talented cast
makes top flight entertainment.
The fantasy deals with a mysteri-
GUS village of the Scots that comes
to life for only one day Of each
century.
Lawrence Gray, a dark-haired
handsome baritone from Chicago
is making his debut at the theatre
in the role of Tommy Albright,
who with his American companion
Jeff Douglas (E dgar PowelD
stumble upon the mysterious ham,
let. The Scotch lassie whom he
meets in the 18th-century setting
is Fiona MacLaren, played by
Bernice Kelmanson, who is singing
her first major role. Jeff, as the
wise-cracking pal is caught in the
romantic clutches Of Meg Brockie.
Susan Willis, of last years name
role in "Annie eGt Your Gun" is
the lass with more determination
than charm.

around the wedding of Fiona's sis

young tenor was heard in both
