Turkeys Prices Fall as Market Fights Continue
Boston wholesalers delayed sales as over a million pounds arrived, dropping wholesale prices from 40 to 42 cents to 28 and 4 cents. Retailers resist, urging chicken geese and fowl instead while Salvation Army offers turkey at 3 cents a pound to distribute. Women buyers urged to boycott turkey to pressure lower prices, with unions backing price resistance and keeping options like eggs and butter in use. Retailers predict prices may fall to 35 cents retail before stocking turkeys.
