School Surveys Retail Meat Business Results of what is believed to be the first comprehensive survey of principles underlying the successful and unsuccessful operation of retail meat stores ever conducted were made public last week by the Northwestern University School of Commerce in a report prepared by Professor Horace Secrist, director of the bureau of business reseach, entitled, "Expenses, and Losses in Retail Meat Stores." The survey, according to Professor Secrist, was conducted by Northwestern university and the bureau of agricultural economics of the United States department of agriculture in co-operation, in consequence of representations made by the National As sociation of Meat Council to the university and the department. Among the conclusions obtained from the survey and set forth in the report is the statement that the average successful retail meat dealer receives a net profit of about five per cent of his gross sales, and that seven out of every ten stores made a profit during the year studied. This five per cent profit is exclusive of the personal earnings of the the owner for his services at the rate of a meat cutter's wages. The average net profit among all the dealers reporting, including those who suffered a loss, was 2.7 per cent of sales. When high operating expenses exist in retail meat stores, they are due primarily, according to the report, to high wage bills, inefficient management, irregular purchases by customers, high rents, excessive fixture investment, and Jax credit regulaliens. Wages are shown to be the most important factor in overhead expense, and the most important consideration in readjusting expenses. The figures gathered for the survey also show that losses arc more common in small than in large stores; that inadequate margins are more conducive to losses than are high cxpen es; and that profits are most likely to be secured when expenses are moderate and margins are reuonable. The single most important explanation for the failure of mercbants to secure profits is the cutthroat competition under which they attempt to do business.
