Excerpt from Retail Grocery Stores: A Study of Certain Problems of the Retail Grocer in New York City; Including the Results of Investigations Conducted During the War Period
It is the aim of this bulletin, first, to present to the consumer certain viewpoints on the problems of the retail grocer and their reaction on the prices he pays for his food, and further to set before the grocer himself the results of investigations made in May, 1918, of a representative number of typical grocery stores in New York City. Conditions or type and quantity of products purchased may differ for other cities, but with the data given for guidance it is anticipated the grocer can compare the status of his own business and perhaps discover one or two new angles from, which to approach his own problems.
