Food Company Official Sees Drop In Average Food Prices
Clarence Francis of General Foods predicts average consumer food prices may fall as much as 15 percent by the 1948 harvest, while warning a broad price break is unlikely. He cites high handling costs and competition from autos, appliances, and housing as pressure factors. The U S Chamber warns Europe’s Marshall plan could raise prices here as it reduces domestic consumption and fuels wage demands.
