Home My WebLink AboutClinton News-Record, 1959-05-07, Page 9"Eggs Are 80c a Dezen" I. did- n't know this either until April 24 when returning from the Ontario Beef Producers meeting in Tor- onto I stopped at a restaurant near Brampton for supper. While waiting for my order a Man, and I presume his wife, sat in at the next table, While they were talking I overheard the lady say that "eggs are 80 cents a doz- en." Were they turkey, duck or perhaps goose eggs? Certainly when I was going back over my Egg bills for my income tax report it doesn't seem reasonable that she was talking about hen eggs. Yet I feel quite certain that this lady, was speaking of hen eggs. Whenever I have questioned dealers on the necessary mark-up on-eggs they have always told me "A Gas Water Heater saves you money ... gives you more Hot Water in less time'', says, Harold Wise, Clinton Plumber Dealer. that 20 cents should take the eggs from the producer to the sonsum- er and since that is almost two- thirds of what most producers have been getting all winter is would seem to be plenty. From the remarks I have picked up here and there I believe some producers do get more than others even for equal quality, However the high est I have heard of was u- irriurn (and probably this was a maximum) of 38 cents for A large, On this basis the top price for eggs to .the consumer should have been only 58 cents per dozen, Where then does the other 22 cents go? Or does it mean that some producers are getting 60 cents a dozen? Is it the consumer that is being gouged or is it the producer that Who's Gering The txtra.Profits In Moving fogs to Consumer Market?

It heats water so fast (4 times faster than any other system) that you always have a constant supply of hot water. And it costs you less to buy .6. less to operate."

I have recently received two ar- ticles published by the Consumers Association complaining that Cali- ernment support prices are caus- ing the consumer to pay too much for his food and therefore the support price should be lowered but in this matter of eggs it does- n't seem to be the producer price that makes eggs dear. I think the consumer would do well to consider Mr. Greer's state- ment in reference to support prices on dairy products. "Even though the floor price goes down, the Government has no assurance that the consumer price will drop." Perhaps farm producers have been negligent of their responsi- bility to the consumer in that they have taken no part in marketing to see to it that the consumer is paying only a fair price for the farmers produce. Certainly there seems to be room for improvement in the marketing of eggs. News of Holmesville CorrespondePt MRS.
