Bigelow Says , Prices : Are What
-Producer Would Get if He
' Sold Wholesale to Retailers.
.' It bread prices must go up. as
. Portland bakers insist, are these
some of the reasons:.
. ' Waste in retail establishments be---
.cause supply exceeds demand?
' Multi-duplication of costly delivery
systems? .'').-, p " '
Public's demand for fancy wrap
pings? If they are, Portland housewives are
willing .to. put a ,4fBt. 'in rising costs
by ' advocating the sanie kind 'of bread
supply- prevalent;; in wartime. Some, of
(hem said so Thursday afternoon at a
meeting held in" the public library.
They asked other women to help them.
ZOXE DEMYERT ; FAVOBED
-Wartime handling; of the bread
problem didn't put ' housewives to much
. .inconvenience," said Mrs. -J. F. Chap-
man. chairman. "If costs can be les
- sened, we want to see a one delivery
system, of bread established, no re
" turning "of unused and spoiled loaves,
and - a simpler ; method of wrapping.
Wrap bread in a sanitary method, yes;
but don't tie it up (n ribbon, and em
boss the paper. Well carry -our bread
from the store Instead of using- dellv-
. ery wagon if it means bread stays at
- JO cents."-
Do Portland consumers help pay for
- the 'delivery system that takes bread
many miles, awayt The housewives
want to. know. -
Kvery woman 1 who wants to take a
hand in "lowering prices Is Invited to
be prenent at meeting at Central
library Tuesday afternoon at 3 o'clock.
Further discussion of H. C. L. is
- sought. 1
PRICES . ABE WATCHED
Charles A. Bigelow. acting mayor,
announced that he has engaged two
- men unknown 'to market men, the
. market master or anyone else except
himself who - will compile a list of
market prices .every day, - comparing
them with prices offered by cash-and-carry
stores. He said he would pub
lish the list. ' '
Joel A. Eastman, market master of
the public market, concurred in Blge
low's explanation of why some market
prices were as high as at groceries
where much more rent is paid.
Regular grocers. .Bigelow and East
, man declared. can afford to lower
prices on a few "leader" items to
- compare favorably with public - market
quotations. Loss of profit on these
Items is made up on other sales.!
Market men Belli only one or two things i
In most cases, r they said, and their i
prices were enough to give them a fair
return and- that's all. '
- BASE 03f WHOLESALE FIGURE
"We study the market ' quotations of
the dally newspapers." said Bigelow,
. "but " many times lately, noticing dls
' agreement In newspaper reports, we
have arbitrarily set maximum prices
which were less than newspaper - quo
tations. "
Prices in the market, Bigelow de
clared, were made so that the pro-
ducer would get as much ai if he
Bold i wholesale to retailers.'
"Complainants who - object to Jap-
- anese and -Chinese selling- in the
market , f orgret ; that these same for
eigners supplied us through the retail-
ers before the markets were estab
lished., They didn't come here with
the market.", N
