Excerpt from Costs of Distributing Milk Through Vending Machines and by Retail and Wholesale Routes, Martinsburg, W. Va
Labor requirements for each of the methods and frequencies of delivery differed among the dairies and also among similar routes operated by the same dairy. Owing to the variation in labor and other cost elements, within and among methods, it seemed advantageous to develop a normal route for each method. Costs were estimated for these model routes on the basis of: (l) Averages of the labor and mileage requirements for in dividual routes; and (2) information on costs of capital investment, de preciation, maintenance, taxes and licenses, location rental, and other overhead items obtained from the milk distributors.
The operation of vending machines in schools was not included in the present study, because it is carried out under conditions that make it a specialized Operation, not typical of machines in other locations.
