The period covered included the last few months of X94I and the earty part of thiS ydbr when sharp rises In coffee prices caused the committee to undertake'the current Inveetigatiozu Kurts told the committee what AAP •$as done to keep the prices of Its dofloe at reiatltely low lew els, often *0 cento or more par pound lower than’ the retail price of other coflheo.’* The coffee official,, e veteran of 21 years in the Industry, said the oompany’s one-cent margin "la the total profit AAP recelyea for pro curing sad processing the green coffee, importing, roasting, pack ing, transporting, grinding and re tailing it to the American con sumer who boys It in our stores.” "To my knowledge,” he said, “this is the tlraL Urn* AAP has ever divulged Its profit per pound of coffee, and I am personally sorry that it has not been done before aa it Is aa aaoampMshmeDt of which any company in any country can be rightfully proud.” A A P’s coffee la “priced much lower than other brand* for tvfo reasons,” Kurts said. “The first lies in A A P's business philosophy—That wa. should sell the best possible food at the lowest possible prices.” Ho said “the sec ond la found in our method of buy ing, processing and retailing cof fee” By distributing Its own coffee in its own stores which have built up a steady day-to-day demand he said, AAP la able to schedule its buying and processing operations in an orderly, efficient manner. "We do not take a speculative position at any time,” he said. We do not do any hedging, or have any transactions on any cof- gee exchange. We simply buy green -coffee, import it, roast and pack it, nnd supply our stores with enough | to take care of the demands of our Customers.” v h When prtoes Tmgan to soar, he AAP tad tyro alternations.
