The Origin and
Operation of
Skaggs Stores
Business policies are the
charts by means of which euc-
O'juful undertakings are steer
ed through Hie seas of com
merce mad-amps, pointing
the way to the desired dinllna
Hon. If tliey art rU'ht they lead
to succeua throiiKU service. If
they an- wrons will, the
coasts of commerce an strewn
with the wrecks of buslnensea
that tried to operate under
mistaken or deliberately decep.
tive policies. We who come in
to daily contact with estab
lished pollcien of large lrttfiitu
tions are prime to take them
as matters of course, and eith
er approve or disapprove of
them according to our various
lights. Randy does it occur to
lis to consider the manner of
their making or the amount or
time and thought sometimes
days and weeks of concentrat
ed study that has liil to their
formulation and promulgation.
The first Skaggs store dif
fered from other stores chiefly
in the Important particular 'of
Its almost unbelievably a low
operating costs. Despite ' the
fact that it was founded with
the avowed determination of
eliminating waste from the dis
tribution coits of foodstuffs, it
was difficult to realize at first
how much had really been ac
complished and the extent to
which the methods employed
weni destined to influence re-

tall practice. Neither could It
reasonably be expected that
the founder could fortee and
lay down policies to govern the
thousand of conUuKtrnclea and
problems that arose as the
business grew and spread.
These had to be met and solv
ed as they present! them
selves and out of their solution
and the soundness of the
Judgment with which the solu
tion wan applied has grown
this vast orKanisatlou a ad the
policies and personnel that
have made lis outstanding suc
cess possible.
Kor instance, It was discol
ored that the aavinp in oper
ating1 routs as compared to the
operating costs or the average
reinil grocery in themselves
constituted a liberal profit.
The Federal Government. In
its Investigations of profiteer
ing, had determined that from
16 to IS per cent was a fair
operating cost for the average
grocery to which' must be
added a fair net profit. Operat
ing costs in the Skaggs store
were less thnn half the amount
allowed by the government a
condition due entirely to the
spirit In which it was founded
and the operating economies
effect I'd and one which per
mitted the new store to do bus
Inecs and make a liberal profit
on a margin less than the act
ual coats of tho average store.
This fact, plus the disposition
to share the savings affected
with the consumer, enabled
the first Skaggs storo. to do a
constantly , Increasing '' volume
of business and eventually ac
cumulate a surplus sufficient
to warrant the opening pf a
second store.
The second Sftag store
was opened tn October, 1916,
and subsequent like ventures
followed In due course and or
der, but it la worthy of note
that in the working out of a
p'aa of oneratlno for .the eec
ond atorv, good business prac
Uces and the principlo of the
UoMen Hule were observed.
This plan was based upon a
profit-sharing ideal of equity to
the customer, the manager and
the originator. Its fruition ia
evidenced bv a prnoltcal, tang
I b le. FUNCTIONING rea Ii t y
and Its application has served
to weave a closely knit organ
ization alike In ambition, do
aires and practices.
It has given a present and
future to clear headed young
men, who in their ambition to
achieve are thrice willing to
serve. It has put responsibility
in the hands of those most af
fected and has never overrid
den their rights nor Ignored
their Idea, privileges and sug
gestions. It has attracted loyal
hearted men men not sus
ceptible to prtty bribery nor
shortsighted promises. It has
given us more than three hun
dred busy stores and upwards
of fifteen hundred energetic
young people with trained
minds, open hearta and eager
hands, thousands upon thou
sands of patrons, and It has
elevated the standards of food
distribution throughout tho en
