Enormous Difference Between Price Producer and Consumer
United States Senator from Kansas Arthur Wapper argues in Washington that wasteful distribution harms both producer and consumer. He cites California Fruit Growers Exchange data on 1914 to 1920 price spreads, noting retail margins, jobber costs, and freight, with Hoovers quotes and transportation issues. He warns that high retailer margins and limited competition inflate consumer costs while farmers receive less, urging reforms to shift dollars back to farmers.
