Show J Egg Market Is Still Improving! I The move of the Utah Poultry I producers' Cooperative Association 1 o sell Utah eggs direct to large vo-1 vo-1 tail chain stores, though it arous I ed the ire of alleged jobbing prof. I iieers and gangsters in Now York, I will eventually bring together two I great classes of people, the produc-! produc-! I ers and the consumers, and will I result in saving for both. I This was the statement of Al. I bertus Willardson, Assistant Gener-o Gener-o ' j al Manager of the state poultry as-J as-J I sociation, upon his return to Utah I from New York recently. Mr. I Willardson was present at the New I York state hearing into rising food J prices when jobbers and truckmen J were charged with using illegal 1 'strong arm" methods in attempts I to boycott Utah eggs. I The cntract for furnishing Utah 1 I KSS direct to the Jewish Grocers' I I Association made by Benjamin fa 3 I Brown, director of markets for I i I fte Utah Poultry Association New 5" 1 I York, should result in an addition- I al profit of several cents per dozen I to Utah producers and at the 1 I sine time save the New York con-H con-H I sumers a similar amount. This 1 I will be accomplished by the elim- I ination of the "jobbers cuts" which 1 I in the past have amounted to from I live to ten cents per dozen. ! j In addition to the benefits of I neater profits to Utah Poultry men I snd a saving to New York consum-I consum-I ers, the change in marketing made I by Brown will result in a very def- 1 iite and permanent outlet for Utah eggs. Officials of the poul-j poul-j I -jy association believe that it is I lie greatest stride made in cooper- I itive marketing for years. I The Jewish Grocers' association I I low embraces 1,000 large retail I aores in New York City. If this B I sociation's growth continues at I I le same rate, it would soon be in 1 I i position to handle more eggs I I ian Utah produces. II Another great advantage of the 1 I I iuect sales connection with New I 1 York retails is cited to be the fact I I oat now Utah's fine quality com-I com-I I -ercial eggs will be able to retain I I seir identity from the producer 1 I -ht to the ultimate consumer. The S I due of the good-will tha ; is cer-jj cer-jj ym to be established, should be I Jimendous. 1 j Poultry association officials point I I it that the new marketing move 1 I :not intended to give New York 9 J.onsumers lower priced eggs by 1 Jtiucing the producers' receipts, i J. it rather to benefit both by elim-3 elim-3 j nation of marketing inefficiencies. 1 ate poultry association officials 1 .ave been assured by -Nw York 1 ate officials and police that no 1 '.ore interference will be encoun-9 encoun-9 -red in the marketing of the Utah Pi 'oduct. I Mr. Willardsen brings word to 9 h that marketing prospects in ;w York look brighter than ever r next year. The probably high 9 st of corn resulting from the ex- I aie drought in the east and mid-I mid-I "st, will cause poultrymcn in the a "-vy producing states to reduce ir 1 flocks. This should greatly id a Je egg production and react I :;orably m next year's prices. In 350.00 I A corn is only a small item in 650.00 1 yfeed- |
