The William Davies Company faces public criticism over a Department of Labor report claiming 1916 bacon profits of five million dollars. The article refutes that figure and details actual 1917 operations including meat and dairy outputs, retail turnover, and modest per-unit profits.
The William Davies Company defends its 1916 cost statements on bacon and eggs submitted to Ottawa under the Cost of Living inquiry. It contends the report misinterprets incoming and outgoing stock, excludes operating costs, and records a false margin due to improper definitions of cold storage and faulty cross-checks of inputs and finished products. It calls for precise data and a government Food Controller to stabilize prices amid wartime inflation.
