I Abraham Lincoln once said, "You can fool part of the people all the time, all the peopl part of the time, but you can't fool all the people all the time. And as reports keep coming In, it appears the truth of this state ment is being proved In the gro cery business.' f A shopping trend seems iot have stopped,- fe-1 mm a new one: appearing to be: In the making,; end appears! i r I trend to be that peo-flUslfr pie are once c. W. Hirdar again trading Independent. Two sets of figures are quite interesting. In 1955, for the third straight year, chain grocery stores failed to show any gain in per centage of total food sales, hold ing at 36, only 2 above 1933. Yet food chain store profits dropped in one year from 1954 to 1955 by almost 25 so that in 1955 chain store profits averaged less than'1. It appears harder and harder to fool the public. Consumers are now becoming aware of the fact that quality for quality, grade for grade, Independent operators us ually can sell for less than chains. Chains have been trying to meet their problem by pushing their own brands, manufactured by their own subsidiaries. However, with distribution of tlicir brands limited to their own stores, chains are finding that they cannot achieve the volume on them to compete with widely (cl National Fpdfrstlon of Iri'leprmlpnt Bu-it'c. distributed national and regional brands. At same time, consumers are showing themselves more In clined to favor the well known national and regional brands. In order to change this public pref erence, the chains have attempt ed to cut the price on their pri vate brands, thus further aggra vating their profit situation. Presumably, In time stockhold ers will get curious. Public also seems to be swing ing to point of view that the home owned, Independent business of fers greater security to the com munity. For example, recent study shows that while only 55 of the nation's families are home own ers, 92 of the independent gro cer own their own homes. In addition, every sign at pres ent seems to Indicate the house wife is rebelling over having family food prices dictated by distant managements. She is doing something about it, turning more and more to the independent grocer to get known brands at lower prices. Today's homemaker is becoming more resistant to ballyhoo. In fact, it is now reported by some food processors that some chain buyers are stating quite openly that they cannot afford to handle goods unless they do get price concessions over the in dependents. Thus, vigilance in the enforcement of the anti trust laws will keep this "trade in dependent" trend growing. The public is once again recog nizing the Independent merchant is not only a community pillar, but the most efficient distributor of goods.
