Phone 230 The Origin and Operation of Skaggs Stores This Is an age of frank (peaking and open dealing both socially and commercial, ly. We are accustomed nowa days to listen calmly to the free discussion of social sub jects which only a lew years ago were taboo. Likewise, business men of today are be coming more and more accus tomed to taking the public into their confidence and in recog nition of a public fairmindtd ness many of the things which were formerly regarded as "business secrets" are now freely made common property In order that the whole busi ness structure may benefit and the problem of economical dis tribution be brought that much nearer to its Iiual solution. Herein it is again demonstrat ed that Belt interest is the ba sis of all constructive action. For the continued existence of the present system of distribu tion is dependent solely upon Its ability lo prove to the pub lic that it is the most logical and economical system that la possible to devise. Because the welfare of the Nation is Inseparable from the prosperity and well-btlug of its people, it la the right even tne duty of every re sponsible citizen to know something of the profits which business organizations, who elect to deal In the necessities of lite, take in proportion to the service they render. There fore, while perhaps a . bit un usual, it Is entirety consistent aud proper that concerns like Skaggs stores should frankly tell the public how much pro- flt they make and for th I sake of unprejudiced compuri-1 sou how much profit other stores make. In dealing with statistics it is well to remember In fair ness to all concerned that their value ia of necessity rel ative rather than absolute aud that frequently . their greatest value lies in their ability to indicate progress or lack of progress toward a desired eud. For a number of years the Bureau of Business Research of the Graduate School of Bus iness Administration, Harvard University, has conducted an Intensive survey and study of the operating expenses and profits of retail grocery stores throughout the Nation. The results of this survey have been compiled and analyzed by expert statisticians and each year a bulletin is issued con taining the information and Conclusions thus obtained. It is Important to remember that these surveys cover the entire country and every sort of gro cery store. They include cash stores as well as credit stores, stores In small towns and large cities and stores which cater to either cash or credit trade doing about an equal amount of both kinds of busi ness. Therefore, in making comparisons, Skaggs stores are compared to both cash and credit storea throughout the country. The figurea for 1923. com piled by this Bureau, showed 471 stores reporting and that their average gross profit was 19.1 per cent of sales. They turned their stocks an average of 10 times a year. For the same period the average gross profit In Skaggs stores was 13.08-i-a fraction over 13 per cent and the slocks were turn ed 15 times a year, showing a saving to the public of more than 31 per cuit of gross pro fits or ALMOST A THIRD. For 1024 with 645 slores of all classes reporting the sales averaging 61 per cent credit aud SS per et ui cash the av erage gross profit was shown as la.S per cent with an aver age turnover of 10 times, the same as the year before. For the tame period gross profits in Skaggs stores were 13.74 per cent and the stocks were turned 151 times. On trie face of these figures,' those who dealt with Skagps stores paid approximately 30 per cent leas in gross profits than did those who' traded elsewhere. Our 1925 sales will approximate J30.000.0UO which with a like proportionate public saving will exceed $1,500,000 for the year. As was pointed out above the greatest value of statistics lies in their ability to indicate a trend. Skaggs storea are proud of the dollars and cents savings indicated in the fig ures shown we are proud of the percentages and all that sort of thing but we are even more proud of the spirit of the organization which this show ing indicates the willingness of employees to make the amount of work to be done each day constitute a day's work to eliminate waste and to make it possible for us to show a very satisfactory net profit In spile of the very low margin of gross profit on which we operate. It Is this unity of spirit this loyalty and Intelligence which helps make the successful operation of our more than 300 stores possible.
