With this necessity in view, the Commercial Economy Board has conducted an inquiry into the wholesale bakery practice of taking back unsold bread from retailers. The investigation covered representative bakeries in all . parts of the United States. It appears that approximately 4 per cent of all the bread delivered by wholesale bakers is later returned ' to them, and that at least one-third of this is sold for animal feed. A portion of the bread returned is sold at reduced prices to charitable institutions and the poor. The Board points out, how ever that with the cost of carrying this bread to and from the retailers eliminated, the baker could afford fully as well as now to sell the same amount of bread at the same reduced prices. • With few exceptions bakers consulted agreed that the waste of labor and human food involved in the practice of accepting returns is detrimental to the public interest and should be discontinued. This also is the conclusion of the Board and of the Council of National Defense. You are therefore hereby requested, in common with all other wholesale bakers, not to accept returns of unsold bread on July * 10 and thereafter. COMMERCIAL ECONOMY BOARD OF THE COUNCIL OF NATIONAL DEFENSE. The bakers, however, cannot do this alone. The housewife must co-operate with the baker and the that this request be efficiently effective. WE MAKE THIS APPEAL TO THE HOUSEWIFE: PLACE YOUR ORDER FOR BREAD A DAY IN ADVANCE • 0 This will not only assure the grocer of your daily requirements, but will also eliminate the return of unsold bread to the baker. <- We trust that we may have a prompt demonstration from the housewives of Harrisburg of their desire to serve our country in this a grave national necessity.
