the truck and heads for the
next stop.
"one man and one truck
con move at least as many
eggs in carts as two men and
two trucks used to move
when they were in eases,"
Snader noted. "In the
chicken house, the producer
saves anywhere from one
third to half-a-cent per dozen
, on labor charges, ahd maybe
' another quarter-of-a-cent a
dozen on breakage. The eggs
cool down a lot faster, too,
when they’re on the carts."
Snader said they try to
keep mainly two different
kinds of birds in production
at one time, and they’re
always watching two or
three others. “The best birds
change all the time,’’ he
said, "and when it’s time to
go to another bird, we want
to know what it can do."
Production efficiency is
one part of the reason for
Plain & Fancy’s success. But
a strong marketing program
has been a key element in the
growth of the business from
its three-man staff in 1966 to
the 115 people who now work
for the firm.
Although many of the
firm’s eggs are packed in
cartons with someone else’s
label, the Plain and Fancy
label is being seen more and
more in grocery outlets in a
market area that now covers
seven states. Paul Hess, Jr.,

One example of how Plain
& Fancy works with retailers
is the monthly "Eggscitlng
Contest". Retailers arc
encouraged to build special
promotion displays featuring
eggs and allied products.
The retailer who does the
best Job is rewarded with a
trophy and a 150 savings
bond. He also gets the ad
ditional profits from his egg
sales. Monthly winners arc
Judged on space allocation,
production rotation,
cleanliness, creativity, tie-in
with other breakfast foods
and increased sales and
profits.
Hess said one retailer
boosted eggs sales by 300-
percent with a special
display. He didn’t retain that
level of sales, of course, but
he is now selling twice the
number of eggs he used to
sell.
Although the egg business
has slumped into the
doldrums in recent weeks,
Paul Sr. sees a good year
overall for the industry.
“The number of layers is
definitely down,” Hess said,
“so there should be fewer
eggs around in the months
coming up. And I think the
Northeast egg producer has
a good long-range future
ahead of him. We’re sitting
right in the middle of the
biggest egg basket in the
world.
“Today, there’s a lot of
production moving into the
Northeast, We’ve got New
York, Philadelphia,
Baltimore and Washington
on our doorsteps, and if we
can supply those markets
with top quality, fresh eggs,
we won’t have any trouble
keeping egg production
here."
