to submit to arrest. They made
no resistance.

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.
