4 cents Of the dollar you spend
for food at the grocery store
Is compared with 5 cents in
1885 and nearly 6 cents in
1899.
More Items Included
Incidentally. your grocery
bill today includes many items
you previously bought else.
where things like cigarettes,
magazines. kitchen utensils,
garden supplies. towels, even
items Of clothing, like hosiery.
When your husband complains
about your grocery bills he
probably doesn't realize that
the light bulb in the lamp
next TO him Is included In that
bin.
The fact Of the matter Is
that food prices at your super
market average about the
same as they did eight years
ago. They're even about 2
per cent below those in 1855
despite the increase In the
overall cost OF living.
One reason people think the
cost Of food has gone up is
because the Government an
nouncements to the press re-
fer to the Retail Food Price
Index" This is q combined
measure Of grocery store food
prices plus restaurant meal
prices. The restaurant meal
part Of the index has in
creased 10 per cent since jan
uary, 1853, while grocery store
prices for foods have remained
stable.
@. Porter: II the mass food
production and distribution
industry is operating so eff
fectively why aren't food bills
lower?
A. Willis: In a real sense.
In relation to today's income,
food prices are at the lowest
point in history. The Ameri-

buy the Governments stand
ard monthly market basket"
Of family foods with earnings
from SO hours Of work. In
1852 it took him 81 hours. In
l947 1t took him 81 hours.
This is the real way to find
out whether or not your food
is a bargain today. Figure out
the number Of hours it took
you or your husband to earn
the money to buy your
monthly food basket. Com
pare it with the number of
hours required for the same
food 10 years ago.

Unfortunately, while most

the Christmas spirit will render
merchants and bank personnel
too busy to be discerning.
Pointing out that check vol

get. But can this spread" be
narrowed to improve the food
cost picturef
Paul 8. Willis. president Of
the Grocery Manufacturers Of
America. Inc. has answers ID
today's interyiew--one Of q
series Of interviews I. con.
Quoted recently with leading
industrialists.
! Q. Porter: Why does tbs
farmer get only 40 cents Of
the food dollar ] spend at my
supermarketf
A. Willis: The price spread
Tor the 60-cent difference be-
tween what the farmer get.
and what you, the consumer
pay, covers assembly Of prod.
ucts from farms, transporta.
ton. all the processing func.
tons such as canning, freezing
picking. packaging, storage
more transportation, warehous-
ing, and then more transporta-
ton to your grocer-and finally
the retailing costs. It also In
Guides the cost Of selling, re-
search, advertising, plant and
equipment depreciation and
many other expenses incurred
by food manufacturers, whole
salers and retailers.
Spread Is Explained
Q. Porter: Isn't so cents too
much for the price spread?
A. Willis: Actually, the
spread. is remarkably low in
view Of the rapid increase in
rates for wages, taxes and
transportation. These are the
cost factors which make up
most Of the spread. without
price spread" your steak
would be another steer on a
Western range, macaroni
would be durum wheat In the
Dakota plains. cheese would
be milk IN q Wisconsin farm
er's pail. Without spread the
farmer would be virtually out
of business. -.
@. Porter: But the farmer
is getting fewer Of my food
dollars now than he did in
1916.
A. Willis: No, he's getting
somewhat more dollars from
each standard market bas-
ket" than he did then, and
more market baskets" are be-
ing sold. However, he is get
ting fewer pennies Of each
dollar spent. Costs have gone
up. and so today the price
spread has increased from 4s
cents Of your food dollar in
1916 to go cents today. Here's
where they went: Higher labor
costs, Z cents; higher inter-
city transportation costs, ia
cents: Federal taxes on food
professors and distributors
profits, up one-half cent;
other business expenses up 3
cents. These "other business
expenses" are ultimately made
UP largely Of State and local
taxes. local transportation and
the labor, tax and transporta-
ton costs wrapped UP" in the
supplies, services and equip
ment bought by the food in
dustry.
O., Porter: Haven't food
professors and distributors
profits increased, too? DE,

period they've declined as a
part Of the food dollar. On q
combined basis, the average
