5.100.000 POUNDS
OF CANNED PEAS
FOR SEA SAMMIES
The Navy Department is giving or
ders for 5,100,000 pounds of canned
peas, to be delivered as needed.
“These orders amount to a total of
170.000 cases,” said Paymaster Gen.
McGowan, Chief of the Bureau of Sup
plies and Accounts. “The tentative
prices run from 1.15 to $1.50 a dozen,
cans, but all orders are subject to le- |
vision by the Navy Department, the
prices t<fhc based on the cost plus a
reasonable profit. Ninety per cent of
the tentative price will be paid to the
packers on delivery. Ihe ma/er of
cost is being considered by the Bu
reau of Costs and Accountancy of the
Department of Commerce, which is as
sisting both the army and navy.
“By going to the canners direct we
are getting much more satisfactory de
lliveries and are eliminating both the
wholesalers’ and brokers’ profits.
“These contracts are being given to
the canners in the principal centers of
the canning industry, including New
York, New Jersey, Delaware, Mary
land, Pennsylvania, Michigan, Wis
consin, Indiana, Illinois, Ohio, Califor
nia, Utah and Idaho.”
