Book Description
Excerpt from Competition and Combination in the Wholesale Grocery Trade in Philadelphia A few months after this merger was announced, another chain system entered the city, The Atlantic and Pacific Tea Company. A second factor making inroads upon the wholesalers' business is the practice of some manufacturers of selling directly to retailers who can give large orders. A few have tried the plan of selling to all retailers directly, but a larger number, apparently, are following the policy of selling to retailers who can take large quantities. The representatives of large downtown retail grocery stores have stated that they buy many things, including, among others, breakfast foods.

Book Description
In popular stereotypes, local grocers were avuncular men who spent their days in pickle-barrel conversations and checkers games; they were backward small-town merchants resistant to modernizing impulses. Cornering the Market challenges these conventions to demonstrate that nineteenth- and early-twentieth-century grocers were important but unsung innovators of business models and retail technologies that fostered the rise of contemporary retailing. Small grocery owners revolutionized business practices from the bottom by becoming the first retailers to own and operate cash registers, develop new distribution paths, and engage in transforming the grocery trade from local enterprises to a nationwide industry. Drawing on storekeepers' diaries, business ledgers and documents, and the letters of merchants, wholesalers, traveling men, and consumers, Susan V. Spellman details the remarkable achievements of American small businessmen, and their major contributions to the making of "modern" enterprise in the United States. The development of mass production, distribution, and marketing, the growth of regional and national markets, and the introduction of new organizational and business methods fundamentally changed the structures of American capitalism. Within the walls of their stores, proprietors confronted these changes by crafting solutions centered on notions of efficiency, scale, and price control. Without abandoning local ties, they turned social concepts of community into commercial profitability. It was a powerful combination that businesses from chain stores to Walmart continue to exploit today.
The Development of the Wholesaler in the United States 1860-1900 (RLE Retailing and Distribution)
Author: Bill Reid MoeckelPublisher: Routledge
ISBN: 1136245936
Category : Business & Economics
Languages : en
Pages : 274
Book Description
Although the scientific study of marketing is relatively new, certain aspects of it have been analyzed in considerable detail. A body of literature exists, for example, on the various phases of retailing and advertising. It is only in the last decade or two, however, that much attention has been given to the study of wholesalers and wholesaling. The field occupies an important place in the economy, and in this study of the development of the wholesaler in the United States, Bill Reid Moeckel provides the historical basis for understanding the present nature of the wholesaling business, with pointers for the future of the wholesaler and the wider retail economy in which it resides. First published 1986.
