Food Prices
And Profits

T
he forces of market disturbance , fear , and speculation ,
ARE AT WORK. PRICES FOR SOME BASIC COMMODITIES HAVE AL
READY GONE UP. INCREASES IN SAFEWAY’S RETAIL PRICES ON THESE IT
EMS REFLECT THE RISE IN WHOLESALE COST, OVER WHICH SAFEWAY
HAS NO CONTROL.
IT IS A FUNDAMENTAL SAFEWAY POLICY TO EARN ONLY A SMALL
PROFIT ON EACH SALE. SAFEWAY PLEDGES THAT DURING THE PERIOD
OF WAR EMERGENCY IT WILL NOT CHANGE THIS POLICY; AND THAT IN
THE FUTURE, AS HERETOFORE, IT WILL MAKE EVERY EFFORT THROUGH
IMPROVED METHODS TO REDUCE DISTRIBUTION COST — THE DIFFER-
ENCE BETWEEN WHAT THE FARMER GETS AND THE CONSUMER PAYS.
YOU WILL ALWAYS BE ABLE TO BUY FROM SAFEWAY AT THE LOWEST
PRICES AVAILABLE ANYWHERE.
CONSUMERS MAY ASSIST MATERIALLY IN PREVENTING UNWAR
RANTED PRICE INCREASES BY CONTINUING THEIR PURCHASES ON A
NORMAL SCALE. THERE ARE ADEQUATE SUPPLIES OF FOOD STUFFS FOR
EVERY AMERICAN. HYSTERICAL BUYING WHICH STRIPS RETAIL AND
WHOLESALE STOCKS CREATES ARTIFICIAL SCARCITY, WHICH PUSHES
PRICES TO ABNORMAL LEVELS.
MACHINERY EXISTS WITHIN THE GOVERNMENT TO CONTROL PRO
DUCTION, STORAGE AND RELEASE OF COMMODITIES, IMPORTS, EXPORTS,
QUOTAS AND PRICES — IF IT SHOULD BECOME NECESSARY TO EMPLOY
THESE METHODS TO PROTECT THE ECONOMIC WELFARE OF THE COUN
TRY.
k
SAFEWAY FURTHER PLEDGES COMPLETE COOPERATION WITH THE
GOVERNMENTAL AGENCIES AND WITH FARMER PRODUCERS IN ALL EF
FORTS TO STABILIZE PRICES; DISCOURAGE PROFITEERING; AND MAIN
TAIN ORDERLY FACILITIES FOR FOOD DISTRIBUTION.
