It presents research conducted by the New York Federal Food Board and the New York State Food Commission, shedding light on the complexities of the retail grocery industry during a time of economic uncertainty. The author analyzes the volume of trading in various commodity groups, highlighting the dominance of dairy products, bread, and sugar in the market. They also examine the relationship between gross profit margins and volume, revealing that certain high-volume items, such as butter and eggs, had relatively low profit margins. The book delves into the debate between cash-and-carry and credit-and-delivery systems, providing data on the expenses and profits associated with each. The findings suggest that cash-and-carry systems could lead to substantial savings for consumers, particularly in wealthy neighborhoods. The author offers insights into the importance of economic buying practices for grocers, emphasizing the benefits of purchasing in bulk and collaborating with other independent grocers to compete with larger chain stores. The book concludes by highlighting the significance of addressing inefficiencies and waste in the food industry as a whole, as these factors ultimately impact consumer prices.
