A snumber of suggestions were re-

RETAIL FOOD PRICES
(Service Bulletin May 1947—Retail
Merchants Association of Canada)
It seems fashionable these days for
retail merchants to reduce their
maces at least ten per cent. The
public is accepting it as their due
and not as a sacrifice 'on the part of
the merchant concerned. Any mer-
chant who does not reduce his prices
is now branded as a profiteer, ir-
respective of the type of merchandise
he handles. In certain classes of
business this is economically impos-
sible and food is one of them.
Here are figures taken from the
1945-46 statement of a large and
efficient food organization. They
operate 234 retail stores, having a
total annual sales on $34,829,346.
What happens to all these millions?
The following is the breakdown:
84.37 per cent. is pail for mer-
chandise; 7.36 per cent. is paid nor
wages; 2.78 per cent, is paid for rent,
light, heat, business taxes, etc.; 2.55
per cent, is paid for income tax; 1.65
per cent. isnaiad for employees' In
sturances, pensions, and benefits; 1.29
per cent. is left for net profit. If
this oeganivatiau instituted a 10 per
cent. reduction in prices, it would
mean a redntotion of $3,482,934 in
their income .and instead omaintain-
!ng a solvent position they would
have lost 33,032,180 in one year's
operations.
Much as we would like to, it is
absolutely impossible to snake an
overall reduction of 10 per cent„ as
bhe above figures show. The food
trade is only too anxious to pass on
to the public any reductions made by
the processors and wholesalers. This
has always been their policy and they
realize that now is not the time for
any attempt at pertly profiteering.
