Honolulu Record, August 19, 1948, vol. 1 no. 3, p. 4
With the meat boycott entering its second week, a number of stores throughout the city are beginning to feel the pinch of consumer resistance.
Several stores have announced declines in their meat sales, while others indicate that there might be some unemployment and temporary layoffs as a result of the boycott. Officials of the Sensible Shoppers, original sponsors of the boycott, said that the organization is impressed with the support it has received, but could not say that there has been any general break in the price line.
Meanwhile, national consumer boycotts are continuing, although there are conflicting reports on their effectiveness.
