NEW BRITAIN DAILY HERALD, TUESDAY, SEPTEMBER 23, 1930. Price-Fixing Measure Attacked the fine and costs. Cook having th necessary papers in court. He said - At Retail Conference as Block To Reduction of Living Costs R | Speaker Declares Unfixed Prices Fall More Readily —Sales Tax Assailed as| Impediment to Chain ‘ Stores. Boston, Sept. 23 (P—The evils of price-fixing were chief among the topics for discussion before the Bos- | ton conference on retail distribution today. Addresses on proposed legis- | lation affectinfi the retail trade, the mortality among stores ,and adver- | tising from the view point of the | consumer rounded out the second | of the conference. | “A raise in the cost of living and | restriction of the buying power of | the public” was the prediction of | Major Benjamin Namm, president of the Namm Store, Brooklyn. N. Y. in the event of the passage of the price-fixing bill which comes before congress for a vote next December. “Price-fixing will undoubtedly in- crease the cost of distribution,” he said. “The essence of stock turnover is price reduction, swift, drastic low- | ering of the price of any article that does not sell. But there can be no price reduction under the proposed | law except at the whim of the man- | ufacturer. “The bill says may be applied commerce. Fixed Prices Still High | “Witness how commodity prices | have declined during the past vear. | Witness also how few of the fixed prices on branded articles were low- | ered by the manufacturer when the cost of raw materials dropped. The | manufacturer is apparently thinking | in terms of eating his and hav- ing it too. He would like the retailer | to maintain prices even during per- iods of fluctuations.” Discussing some of the indirect ef- fects of price-fixing, Major Namm | listed as the first “the fostering of | monopolies.” He continued with a| discussion of price-fixing as a curb to chain stores and its moral effects on the buyer. Sales Tax Hampers Chains William Nelson Taft, editor of the Retail Ledger, branded sales tax legistation as “‘an impediment to the chain store” by its use of de- duction as practiced in the majority of states where it is now in force. The sales tax is born, Mr. Taft said, | of a desire by state legislatures “of | some easy and comparatively pain- less emthod for raisin additional money to take care of growing de- ficits in state treasuries.” “Legislatures and their tax ad- visers apparently overlook the fact that it is both troublesome and ex- pensive for the manufacturer or re- tailer to operate in the capacity of a tax collector,” he sid. Skilled Merchants Succeed The mortality among stores was the subject of an address by Ed- mund B. McGarry, professor: . ef marketing at the University of Buf- falo. Calling attention to the fact that the “mortality of grocery stores is almost three times that of drug stores,” Professor McGarry said that “the mortality rates appear highest in those trades in which the scale of operation is extremely small, in which no special skill is obviously needed, and in which there are no legal restrictions such as the require- ments for registered pharmacists in the. drug business.” He suggested as a deterrent to the high mortality rate the education of th general public as to the hazards involved in the retail trade. Paul Cherington, director of - re- search for J. Walter Thompson Co., New York, addressed the conference on the viewpoint of the consumer on advertising, and Alvin Dodd, as- sistant to the president of Sears, Roebuck & Company, spoke on the training of executive man power to carry on. that to any price-Axing article of NEW GUNBOAT LAUNCHED Lisbon, Sept. 23 (A — The new Portuguese gunboat Lagos, built in the Lisbon navy yard, was launched today in the presence of President Carmona, and high officers of the navy, army, and air force and the diplomatic corps. CHEAPER TO CAN NOW THAN BUY NEXT WINTER Home-canning Pays Because Fruit and Pure Cane Sugar Are So Cheap Now The abundance of luscious fruits in the market now, and pure cane sugar at an unheard-of low price, give every housewife the opportu- nity to put up a wide variety of pre- serves, jellies and jams at a most reasonable cost. With these home- canned delicacies on hand, the prob- lem of next winter’s fruit desserts can be most inexpensively solved. From the viewpoint of health, canned fruit, jellies and jams should appear daily in the winter diet. Canned fruits are rich in vita- mins. Their flavor pleases the ap- fietite, and their sugar content elps to balance the meal. Aside from eating jelly or jam with bread or toast, they are a deli- cious accompaniment for roast meats and other dishes. And a spoonful used to top rice or bread puddings makes these nourishing | desserts more taste-appealing. | As pure cane sugar plays an im- portant part in preserving, so it | is equally essential in the prepara- | tion of every-day meals. Pure cane | sugar when used to season canned or fresh vegetables improves their flavor, thereby making them more enjoyable to the taste. Most foods are more delicious with pure cane sugar.
