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.'

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

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

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.
