Abstract

Excerpts from the Letter of Transmittal: The growth of large-scale food corporations is one of the most important marketing developments of recent years. The Bureau of Agricultural Economics naturally has had considerable interest in this development, and for several years has been carrying on research intended to show how farmers were affected by it and how it is related to their marketing problems. This monograph was written by a member of the Bureau's staff. It is based partly on his research for the Bureau, and partly on work which he did independently in connection with his doctoral thesis. Chapter I: Introduction: The Technological Basis of Big Business --- Chapter II: Mass Retailing of Food Products --- Chapter III: Large-Scale Organization in the Meat-Packing Industry --- Chapter IV: Large-Scale Organization in the Dairy Industry --- Chapter V: Combination in the Flour-Milling and Bread-Baking Industries --- Chapter VI: Other Large-Scale Food Concerns --- Chapter VII: Mass Distribution and Marketing Efficiency --- Chapter VIII: Monopoly in Food Distribution: Concepts and Criteria --- Chapter IX: Concentration of Control --- Chapter X: Profits and Financial Tendencies of the Leading Food Corporations --- Chapter XI: Buying and Selling Policies of Mass Food Distributors ---Chapter XII: Large-Scale Organization and Price Flexibility --- Chapter XIII: Patent Control in the Food Industries --- Chapter XIV: Legislative and Judicial Policy --- Chapter XV: Conclusion: Toward a New Public Policy.
