CAPACITY OF REFRIGERATED WAREHOUSES m THE UNITED STATES

October 1 1955

INTRODUCTION

Scope and Objectives of the SUll

The Department of Agriculture made its first survey of the capacity of refrigerated storage facilities in the United States on Octobel 1 1921 and reported 544 million cubic feet of gross refrigerated space I Successive surveys have been made in each alternate year follmlling that first census of refrigerated space This is a report on the results of the 18th biennial space survey which showed 813 million cu~ic feet of gross refrigerated space in the United States as of October 1 195

As in previous surveys eve17 effort was made to include all known public~ private and semiprivate refriger2ted storage facilities Among those included are fish houses fruit houses meat~acking plants J frozen food processing facil shyitiES and cheese houses having artificiall1 cooled space for the storage of their products Otl]er types of establishments also nere surveyed and included in the findings for by defjnition the survey covered all classes opound facilities having space artifici~ c~oled to temperatur0s of 00 F or below in which foodstuffs are held for 30 d~s or mpre

Space in wholesaler jobber retailer or other classes of bU3iness gener~ is not used for holding productS 30 days or more and therefore was not included in this report nor was it included in any of the prEvious surveys Space in locker p1~~ts too was excluded also refrigerated space maintained by retail food businesses hotels and the Armed Services

The coverage of the refrigerated warehousing industrr for this survey was checked against membership listings published by trade associations by revie~T of trade journals and other trade media before and during the survey It is believed that the mailing list compiled from kno~m sources provided practic~ comp1ete coverage of the industlY

Replies to all questionnaires on warehouse capacity were car~ reviewed and checked againlst previous reports slJbmittEd by the warehouseman In each instance where a questionable entry was found confirmation or correction was secured

Y Included in the 1921 capacity is refrigerated Working space in meatshypacking plants which starting vlith the 1943 survey was excluded from all successive surveys begining with 193 meat packers were asked to 6X111ude all smoking and curing rooms also Classification of refrigerated space in the 19$3 survey was (a) 190 F and below and (b) ~bove 190 F to 00 F

The primsly objectives of these space surveys are

1 To ascertain the size of the national refrigerated capacitiY so as to have knowledge of trendsJ area changes distribution of space and other factors of importance to Government and industry alike

2 To provide a benchmark by which to check the adequacy of storage occupancy data furnished by the warehousing industlY each month as a part of the Cold Storage Report

3 To provide the warehouaing industry nth statistical data which mq be used for (a) planning an efficient and orderly expansion program in areas that can support additional storage space or (b) identifying thos e areas where space is in suffi shycient supply

4 To aid in locating refrigerated space to facilitate the presershyvation of perishable foods

Darinitiona

NATIONAL REFRIGERATED WAREHOUSE CAPACITY

Gross Space

On October 1 1955 the national gross refrigerated capacity amounted to 813 million cubic feet (table 1) according to reports received by the Agricultural Murketing Service This capacity represented an increase or 65 million cubic ree~ since the 1953 survey and an increase of 102 million cubic feet over the reported capacity of October 1 1951 be 10-year growth from 1945 to 1955 was 167 milshylion cubic feet (fig 1 and table 2)

The long term upward trend in warehouse capacity became particularly pronouncshyed rollowine the start of lorld War II Increased demands for refrigerated space as a result of a war econo~ and the attendant development and growth or the frozen food industry during this period impinged significantly upon available space and broueht ll2tional warehouse occupancy rates to unsurpassed levels In the interest of rood conservation and in the futherance of our national defense efrort the warehousing industry expanded its capacity at a rate of a little more than 33 milshylion cubic feet per survey (every 2 years) during the 1945-1955 period Br comshyparison the annual rate of increase during the pre-llar period of 1931 to 1941 averaged 5 million cubic reet per survey

All regions shared but not equally in the capacity gains reported since 1953 The gains ranged from ll4000 cubic feet in the Mountain States to 20 milshylion on the West Coast The two areas reporth-g the largest gains the Pacific with 20 million and the South Atlantic with 15 million are ar~ in which are located extensive rrozen rood processing facilities

It is generally agreed that the significant increase in the output of rroshyzen foods particul3rly during the postwar period had a profound effect upon the development and growth or the refrigerated warehousing industry Much of the space in existence prior to (iorld vlar II was not constructed for frozen food starshyage and thererore was inadequate to provide the prescribed storage environment for the growing packs or frozen fruits vegetables juices and other frozen rood Production of frozen food which totaled less than 2 billion pounds in 1944 inshycreased a~ ~~ annual rate of almost 17 percent during the 1946-1954 postwar period To meet space requirements lor these products the warehousing industry started to convert existing cooler space which was becoming in surplus supply to freezer space They also embarked upon a construction program that added significantly to refrigerated space

The average increase of approximately 33 million cubic feet every bro years from 1945 to 1955 raised the national refrigerated storage capacity by 167 million cubic feet While this in itselpound was noteworthys for it represented a gain of 25 percent it did not rerlect the real change that occurred within the industry The impact or PQst-olar ractors on the warehousing industry resulted in the displaceshyment or cooler space in favor of freezer space and the decentralization or space to areas removed rrom traditional market centers The refrigerated capacity or the country is moving westward as a result and the difference between the cap8cishy~ in States west or the 11ississippi River and those e~st of it is gradually narshyrowing ApproJdmately 58 percent of the national capacity was in the eastern half of theASPM8tM1UWeJ9M 11 percent in 1947 55 percent in 1949 57 percent in 1951 56 pel copy UPDATA 1981 uP percent in 1955

Zero Space

In 1945 the relationship of national storage capacity capable of holding ()O F or lower to the capacity of higher temperatures was in the ratio of 1 to 5 That is for every 5 cubic feet o~ 1 cubic foot could hold ()O F or lower By 1955 for every 11 cubic feet of existing refrigerated space~ almost half 5 cubic feet could maintain temperatures of 00 F or below

Records covering the growth of zero space go back only as far as 1939 At that time only 87 million cubic feet were in operation but it grew to 135 million by October 1 1945 The 6-year growth was only 48 million cubic feet an average of 16 million each two-year period From 1945 to 1955 the industry added almost 242 million cubic feet which carried the national capacity to 347 million cubic feet The average gain during this period was approxbnately 48 million cubic feet each 2 years

Public Warehouses

In the early days of the warehousing industry meat packing plants provided sizeable refrigerated space for the storage of agricultural perishables in the extensive cooler storage facilities supporting their killing and storage operashytions At that time meat packers commo~ took in food products belonging to others for storage However most meat packers now confine their space to their Olom storage programs and it is not unusual for them to use public general space when their own space is filled to capacity

Public warehouse space including public apple houses is by far the preponshyderant type of space available in the nation About 799 plants were in operation on October 1 1955 having a collective storage capacity of 499 million cubic feet This was more than 60 percent of the total refIigerated space in the counshytry In addition more than hill of this space 282 million cubic feet could hold temperatures of CP F or lower Considering that there was only 377 million cubic feet of zero space in the country on October 1 1955 this segment of the industry has an important role in the storage of agricultural perishables and seJlliperishashybles Public space capable of holding 00 F is more than four times that of 1939 and almost 70 percent larger than in 1945

Private and Semiprivate Warehouses

The increase in warehouse capacity reported by pllolic warehousemen was more than matched by the growth in private and semiprivate space (including apple houses) bull This industry is fast becoming an important factor in the storage of frozen foods Their refrigerated space capable of holding 00 F or lOier increasshyed from 8 million cubic feet in 1939 to 74 million in 1955 Percentage-wise this represented an increase of more than 800 percent During the past 10 years 62 million cubic feet of zero space came into being as private and semiprivate space chiefly on the west coast and in the South Atlantic region in areas close to points of production In these regions the States showing the largest gains were Florida with 17 million and California with 9 million

REFRIGERATED WAREHOUSE CAPACITYJ BY REGIONS

The Pacific States led all other regions on October 1 1955 according to their gross refrigerated capaciV This region had applOximate~ 212 million cubic teet or 26 percent of the national total (table 3) In 1945 the Pacific States ranked tJrlrd with 124 million gross cubic feet of space Their relative share of the national storage capacity increased from 19 percent in 1945 to 26 pershycent in 1955

By contrast the rUddlc Atlantic States which held second ranking in 1955 with 153 million cubic feet have been unable to maintain their relative share of the namptional capaciV during the past 10 years The trend there is a declining one even though the total capacity has increased since 1945 At that time the Middle Atlantic capacity which totaled 146 million cubic feet and represented 23~ percent of the national total was the largest of the regions Its share dropped to 21 percent by 1951 to 20 per cent by 1953 and 19 percent by 1955

Another area that seems to be declining in relative importance is the East North Central region Its capacity on October 1 1955 totaled 147 million cubic feet which gave third ranking with 18 percent of the national total However in 1945 the area was second with 22 percent ()f the national total During the 1945shy1955 period the East North Central capacity increased less than 6 million cubic feet

The three ranking areas in 1955 accounted for 63 percent of all the r9fligershyated warehouse space in the country Since their share of the national total was bull about the same in 1945 it suggests that forces operating within industry are bringing about a realignment of space Traditionally the Middle Atlantic and East North Central States were the 2 leading storage areas on a capacity basis~ because of the development of space in metropolitan areas to serve vast urban popushylationa However as frozen foods became more acceptable and more and more frozen food products were introduced the need for CP F space in urban areas could only be accommodated by convertirig existing cooler space Construction of new space in these ~as was limited because of high land costs and with the trend toward sinshygle story wdts sizeable land tracts were needed

On the other hand by locating warehouses closer to points of production in areas removed from high land costs tracts were available for constructing considermiddot able storage capaciv in single story units in which greater use could be made of newq developed mechanical handling equipment In CalifOrnia for example 00 F space increased from less than 8 million cubic feet in 102 plants to 44 million in 218 plants from 1945 to 1955 By contrast in New York the State lith the largest capacity in the Middle Atlantic group zero space was increased only from 17 million to 32 million in the comparable period the number of plants increased from 260 w 314 Comparative figures for Illinois are as follows From 1945 to 1955 zero space increased from 21 to 36 million nwnber of plants decreased from 66 to 61

The South Atlantic region is another e1Cal1Ip1e of decentralization of space With the growth of citr-lS concentrate production there was an associated growth

of warehouse capacity In this region in 1945 o~middot 47 million cubic feet of space was in operation Of this amount onlJr 4 million could hold temperatures of ()O F or below The areas rank in the national picture at that time was fifth with 7 percent of the space Ten years later the area still ranked fifth but its capacity had increased to 96 million cubic feet which was 12 percent of the United States total Capacity of ()O F 0 space was up to 52 million cubic feet Almost all of this increase was the result of the construction of new warehouse space in Florida

Opound the remaining areas the West North Central ranked fourth in 1955 with 13 percent of the total national capacity or 104 m1l11on cubic feet Like the Middle Atlantic and East North Central regional the West North Central group has experishyenced a downward trend since 1945 Their share of the national total a decade ago was 17 percent and at that time 10 percentage points separated them from the fifth ranking region the South Atlantic TodayJ only 1 point separates the two The relative ranking of the New England West South Central East South Central and Mountain was the same in 1955 as in 1945 and ranked in the order named While the relative position of these 4 areas did not change they all added substantially to their capacity during the 1945-1955 period except the Mountain States There an increase of o~ 1 million cubic feet was reported

Zero Space

Almost half 1~6 percent of the refrigerated space in the country could hold temperatures of 00 F or below the 1955 survey showed compared with 21 percent in 1945 Of the national total opound 377 million cubic feet of zero space about oneshyfifth flas in the Pacific States This area which ranked first also had more zero space ~e~iW-iiqouses than aIY other region as well as more private and

semiprivate zero space Thusl for the first tlmel the Middle Atlantic group was displaced for the leadership in these classifications In 19451 the Pacific area had only 12 percent ot the zero space in the count1T only 11 percent ot the zero space in public genera1 facilities and less than 3 percent of the zero space in private and semiprivate warehouses

Only one other area could match the growth ot zero space on the West coast and that is the South Atlantic where the growth was even greater The South Atlantic capacity reported on October 11 19551 amounted to 52 million gross cubic feet or about 14 percent of the natioD81 total Only 10 years earlierl about 3 percent of the countrys total or 4 million cubic feet were within the States comprising this region The significant growth experienced in this area is directly associated with the expansion ot space needed to accommodate the citrus industry During the 1945-1955 periodl the capacity of zero space in public genera1 facilities in the region was increased by 28 million cubic feet while in private and semiprivate tacilities the increase totaled 19 million cubic feet See fig 2 for the distri shybution of zero space I by type of warehousel and fig~ 3 for regional distribution

From a national standpointl the capacity of space capable of holding temperashytures of CO F or below has changed considerably since 1945 but the rea1 change is in the geographic distribution of this space Capacity o zero space is increasshying in all areas but it is increasing at a more rapid rate in new centers of storshyagel notably in Floridal Washingtonl Oregon and California In 19551 abOut 45 percent of the national total was in 5 regions-50uth At1anticl East 8hd West South Centrall Mountain and Pacific In 1945 they accounted for onQr 23 percent ot the total This upward trend is at the expense of 4 regions-New Englandl Middle Atlanticl East and West North Centra1-tJhich are expEriencing a corresponding loss ot the national share In 1945 their combined capacity of zero space was equivashylent to 77 percent of the total compared with 55 percent in 1955

See tables 6 to 9 inclusivel for a regional breakdown of refrigerated storage capacity in meat packing plants and apple houses

Public General Warehouses y In 19551 the Middle Atlantic region was the most important in terms of public

general space Of the 464 million cubic feet of public space in the countryl 22 percent--lOl miliion cubic feet--was in Middle Atlantic States (table 4) This capacitV surpassed the next leading area East Northmiddot Central by- almost 8 million cubic feet Also there were more public general warehouces in the Middle Atlantic group than in ~ other--l41 plants

The first and second ranking areas with public general space~ddle Atlantic and East North Central-had cOlparatively the same capacity in 1955 as in 1945 and the same relative rank as then As a matter of factI the order of ranking Cor each region in 1955 was identical to the 1945 ranking which is as follows I starting with the third position Pacificl West North Central South Atlanticl West South Centrall New England East South Central and Mountain

While the relative rankings fer all regions did not change in the past 10 yearsl significant changes did take place in the relative shares of each region in the national total In the Middle Atlantic and East North Central areasa each had

epproximatelJr the same public general warehouse capacit) as in 1945 Be~ause of their preponderant warehotlSe capacity developed over a period of ~ years each held their relative rank in the national picture Butwhere the Middle Atlantic States accounted for 28 percent of the public space in 1945 only 22 pelCent of the total was in this area ~ 1955 In the East North Central States public genshyeral space dropped from 26 percent of the total in 1945 to 20 percent in 1955 It thus appears the two areas that have ranked first and second consistently for 10 years are steadily losing grolUld The capacity of space classified as public general is becoming larger nationally but apparently it is not increasing as rapidshyly in the Middle Atlantic and East North Central States as in other regions

For example in the third ranking area the Pacific ooast public general space increased from 14 percent of the national total to 17 percent during the 10 year period ended 1955 During the same period the relative share of the national public warehouse space located in West North Central States increased from 11 pershycent to 14 percent while in the South Atlantic area the increase was from 7 to 11 percent Lesser increases or no changeS were reported from the 4 remaining areas but each showed more public general space than in 1945

It is reasonable to conclude that the change in distribution of public general warehouse ~pace shows a trend on the part of public warehousemen to locate their plants away from traditional centers of storage The fact that the 8 States comshyprising the Middle Atlantic and East North Central regions have shown comparatively little change in public general warehouse capacity in 10 years is in contrast to the national increase of 112 million cubic feet during this period It is signifi shycant also that whereas these 2 regions formerly accounted for about 54 percent of all the public general space in the country in 1945 they account for only 42 percent in 1955

Private and Semi2rivate Gel~zal_W~~lt~s_~ JI Refrigerated storage space classified as private and semiprivate general is a

minor portion of the overall national capacity Of the total 813 million cubic feet only about 15 percent 121 million was private and semiprivate on October 1 1955 (tab1e 5)

This industry has increased in both number of plants and capacity and in every region in the past 10 years In 1945 the 343 private and semiprivate plants had a collective storage capacity of 40 million cubic feet By 1955 the munber had grown to ~33 plants with 121 million cubic feet of gross storage space

The largest gain was in the Pacific region Here private and semiprivate space was increased from 8 million in 1945 to 40 million by 1955 In the South Atlantic States meanwhile a building program that started after 1945 netted the area almost 22 million cubic feet of space in 10 years Private and semiprivate capacity in the area in 1945 amounted to a little more than 1 million cubic feet in the 15 plants located there whereas in 1955 almost 23 million cubic feet were in the area The nwnber of plants totaled 51

In order of ranking however the South Atlantic was third because more pri shyvate and semiprivate capacity was in the East North Central States But the difference between these two areas is fast narroying and only 1 nri Ilion cubic feet-shyseparatethemat this time compared with 8 million in 1953

REFRIGERATED STORAGE CAPACITY~ BY STATES

RefriGerated storage space is in eveTY State~ the 1955survey showed~ but the extent of availability varied signific~tl1among States Capacities ranged from less than 100000 cubic feet in WyoInink to 96 million in ~iashington See fig 5 for the changes in gross refrigerated space b1 States since 1953

Four States--Ilashington New York~ California~ and Illinois-had 42 percent of the national storage capacity (figc 4) Adding the next four leading StatesshyF1orlda~ Pennsylvania Michigan and New Jersey-increased the total to 5~ percent

Washington was by far theleading State with 96 million cubic feet (table 10) which included almost 70 million cubic feet of apple storage Nal York which ranked second had o~ 19 million cubic feet of apple house space

The emergence of Washington to the forefront is a recent development and is indicative of a trend in the Pacific area Traditional~ NerT York was the leader among States but the 1955 survey showed it had dropped to second position and even this ranking is in jeopardy because of the significant growth in California The total refrigerated capacity in New York totaled 895 million cubic feet on October 1 1955 while the California total was 888 million

From 1945 to 1955 warehOlle capacity in New York increased onlyen 4 million cubic feet hile in Illinois there was a reduction of 4 million The Illinois reduction would have been even greater had there not been an increase of 12 million cubic feet in private and semiprivate space to offset the 16 million cubic feet of space lost in public warehouses and meat packing plants during this period

In contrast to the relative stability of capacity in New York and Illinois the 10-year growth in Washington totaled 31 million cubic feet and in California 49 million The expansion in Washington was primari~ apple houses In Califorshynia the increase was mostly additions to public general and private and semishyprivate general space

Public General Warehouses

Although the overall storage capacity in New York has been relatively stable these ast 10 years public general space in the State was the largest reported by any State-58 million cubic feet California the next leading State had 49 milshylion followed by 46 million in Illinois (table II) These three States have alshymost one-tl-tird of the total public general space in the country From 1945 to 1955 Kansas and Florida each added about 13 million cubic feet to bring their puolic general capacity to 21 and 17 million cubic feet~ respectively Qnly New JerseY~ Pennsylvania~ Missouri~ and Texas ~ had more public general space than KansasJ which ranked 8th in the country

Private and Semiprivate General Warehouses

The distribution of private and semiprivate space (table 12) was quite differshyent from public general California was in the forefront with New York fourth behind Florida and Illinois California with 28 million cubic feet had almost as much as the second and third ranking States combined Floridas capacity at 18 million gross cubic feet was almost as large as the capacity in Illip~is and New York l1itilllrcIl~f_W~

Meat Packing Plants

Illinois Missouri and Iowa in the order named were the important cold storage States for the meat packing industry (table 13) Capacitywise they were about equal with a slight edge in favor of Illinois and collectivel3 they account- ed for 30 percent by the meat pacldng space in the country From 1945 to 1955 their capacity has been declining Some of this decrease is due to a reclassificashytion of storage space which excluded certain refrigerated space in later surveys and in part to an abandomnent of storage space in certain areas

Apple Hous

Two areas Pacific and l-1iddle Atlantic had the major share of apple storage space in the country Washington storages with 44 percent of the national tlttal and New York with 12 percent rank far ahead of all other States (table 14 1 and 16)

Next in order of importance were Virginia Michigan Oregon and California The six leading States with 83 percent of the available apple house capacity also accounted for 37 percent of the national space in the country capable of holding temperatures above 00 F bull

REFRIGERATED STORAGE CAPACITY BY CITlES v Chicago continues to maintalll its leadership aJllODg all cities as a center of

cold storage space The degree of concentration of space in the Chic~go metropolshyi tan area is given in table 11 along with the capacities of 23 other metropolitan areas in the country

Over 51 million gross cubic feet of space was in Chicago on Octobe~l 1955 about 10 million more than the second ranked city ~lew York Chicagos capacity was almost equal to the combined capacities found in Boston Detroit Kansas City Buffalo Minneapolis and St Paul In t1e order named these cities comprise the lower half of the 10 leading storage centers on a capacity basis

Los Angeles was in third position with almost 22 million cubic feet only about half as much as in Greater New York Ranking fourth and fifth with almost equal capacity was St Louis and Philadelphia respectively

CAPACITY OF REFRIGERATED WAREHOUSES m THE UNITED STATES

October 1 1955

INTRODUCTION

Scope and Objectives of the SUll

The Department of Agriculture made its first survey of the capacity of refrigerated storage facilities in the United States on Octobel 1 1921 and reported 544 million cubic feet of gross refrigerated space I Successive surveys have been made in each alternate year follmlling that first census of refrigerated space This is a report on the results of the 18th biennial space survey which showed 813 million cu~ic feet of gross refrigerated space in the United States as of October 1 195

As in previous surveys eve17 effort was made to include all known public~ private and semiprivate refriger2ted storage facilities Among those included are fish houses fruit houses meat~acking plants J frozen food processing facil shyitiES and cheese houses having artificiall1 cooled space for the storage of their products Otl]er types of establishments also nere surveyed and included in the findings for by defjnition the survey covered all classes opound facilities having space artifici~ c~oled to temperatur0s of 00 F or below in which foodstuffs are held for 30 d~s or mpre

Space in wholesaler jobber retailer or other classes of bU3iness gener~ is not used for holding productS 30 days or more and therefore was not included in this report nor was it included in any of the prEvious surveys Space in locker p1~~ts too was excluded also refrigerated space maintained by retail food businesses hotels and the Armed Services

The coverage of the refrigerated warehousing industrr for this survey was checked against membership listings published by trade associations by revie~T of trade journals and other trade media before and during the survey It is believed that the mailing list compiled from kno~m sources provided practic~ comp1ete coverage of the industlY

Replies to all questionnaires on warehouse capacity were car~ reviewed and checked againlst previous reports slJbmittEd by the warehouseman In each instance where a questionable entry was found confirmation or correction was secured

Y Included in the 1921 capacity is refrigerated Working space in meatshypacking plants which starting vlith the 1943 survey was excluded from all successive surveys begining with 193 meat packers were asked to 6X111ude all smoking and curing rooms also Classification of refrigerated space in the 19$3 survey was (a) 190 F and below and (b) ~bove 190 F to 00 F

-If-

The primsly objectives of these space surveys are

1 To ascertain the size of the national refrigerated capacitiY so as to have knowledge of trendsJ area changes distribution of space and other factors of importance to Government and industry alike

2 To provide a benchmark by which to check the adequacy of storage occupancy data furnished by the warehousing industlY each month as a part of the Cold Storage Report

3 To provide the warehouaing industry nth statistical data which mq be used for (a) planning an efficient and orderly expansion program in areas that can support additional storage space or (b) identifying thos e areas where space is in suffi shycient supply

4 To aid in locating refrigerated space to facilitate the presershyvation of perishable foods

NATIONAL REFRIGERATED WAREHOUSE CAPACITY

Gross Space

On October 1 1955 the national gross refrigerated capacity amounted to 813 million cubic feet (table 1) according to reports received by the Agricultural Murketing Service This capacity represented an increase or 65 million cubic ree~ since the 1953 survey and an increase of 102 million cubic feet over the reported capacity of October 1 1951 be 10-year growth from 1945 to 1955 was 167 milshylion cubic feet (fig 1 and table 2)

The long term upward trend in warehouse capacity became particularly pronouncshyed rollowine the start of lorld War II Increased demands for refrigerated space as a result of a war econo~ and the attendant development and growth or the frozen food industry during this period impinged significantly upon available space and broueht ll2tional warehouse occupancy rates to unsurpassed levels In the interest of rood conservation and in the futherance of our national defense efrort the warehousing industry expanded its capacity at a rate of a little more than 33 milshylion cubic feet per survey (every 2 years) during the 1945-1955 period Br comshyparison the annual rate of increase during the pre-llar period of 1931 to 1941 averaged 5 million cubic reet per survey

All regions shared but not equally in the capacity gains reported since 1953 The gains ranged from ll4000 cubic feet in the Mountain States to 20 milshylion on the West Coast The two areas reporth-g the largest gains the Pacific with 20 million and the South Atlantic with 15 million are ar~ in which are located extensive rrozen rood processing facilities

It is generally agreed that the significant increase in the output of rroshyzen foods particul3rly during the postwar period had a profound effect upon the development and growth or the refrigerated warehousing industry Much of the space in existence prior to (iorld vlar II was not constructed for frozen food starshyage and thererore was inadequate to provide the prescribed storage environment for the growing packs or frozen fruits vegetables juices and other frozen rood Production of frozen food which totaled less than 2 billion pounds in 1944 inshycreased a~ ~~ annual rate of almost 17 percent during the 1946-1954 postwar period To meet space requirements lor these products the warehousing industry started to convert existing cooler space which was becoming in surplus supply to freezer space They also embarked upon a construction program that added significantly to refrigerated space

The average increase of approximately 33 million cubic feet every bro years from 1945 to 1955 raised the national refrigerated storage capacity by 167 million cubic feet While this in itselpound was noteworthys for it represented a gain of 25 percent it did not rerlect the real change that occurred within the industry The impact or PQst-olar ractors on the warehousing industry resulted in the displaceshyment or cooler space in favor of freezer space and the decentralization or space to areas removed rrom traditional market centers The refrigerated capacity or the country is moving westward as a result and the difference between the cap8cishy~ in States west or the 11ississippi River and those e~st of it is gradually narshyrowing ApproJdmately 58 percent of the national capacity was in the eastern half of theASPM8tM1UWeJ9M 11 percent in 1947 55 percent in 1949 57 percent in 1951 56 pel copy UPDATA 1981 uP percent in 1955

Zero Space

In 1945 the relationship of national storage capacity capable of holding ()O F or lower to the capacity of higher temperatures was in the ratio of 1 to 5 That is for every 5 cubic feet o~ 1 cubic foot could hold ()O F or lower By 1955 for every 11 cubic feet of existing refrigerated space~ almost half 5 cubic feet could maintain temperatures of 00 F or below

Records covering the growth of zero space go back only as far as 1939 At that time only 87 million cubic feet were in operation but it grew to 135 million by October 1 1945 The 6-year growth was only 48 million cubic feet an average of 16 million each two-year period From 1945 to 1955 the industry added almost 242 million cubic feet which carried the national capacity to 347 million cubic feet The average gain during this period was approxbnately 48 million cubic feet each 2 years

Public Warehouses

In the early days of the warehousing industry meat packing plants provided sizeable refrigerated space for the storage of agricultural perishables in the extensive cooler storage facilities supporting their killing and storage operashytions At that time meat packers commo~ took in food products belonging to others for storage However most meat packers now confine their space to their Olom storage programs and it is not unusual for them to use public general space when their own space is filled to capacity

Public warehouse space including public apple houses is by far the preponshyderant type of space available in the nation About 799 plants were in operation on October 1 1955 having a collective storage capacity of 499 million cubic feet This was more than 60 percent of the total refIigerated space in the counshytry In addition more than hill of this space 282 million cubic feet could hold temperatures of CP F or lower Considering that there was only 377 million cubic feet of zero space in the country on October 1 1955 this segment of the industry has an important role in the storage of agricultural perishables and seJlliperishashybles Public space capable of holding 00 F is more than four times that of 1939 and almost 70 percent larger than in 1945

Private and Semiprivate Warehouses

The increase in warehouse capacity reported by pllolic warehousemen was more than matched by the growth in private and semiprivate space (including apple houses) bull This industry is fast becoming an important factor in the storage of frozen foods Their refrigerated space capable of holding 00 F or lOier increasshyed from 8 million cubic feet in 1939 to 74 million in 1955 Percentage-wise this represented an increase of more than 800 percent During the past 10 years 62 million cubic feet of zero space came into being as private and semiprivate space chiefly on the west coast and in the South Atlantic region in areas close to points of production In these regions the States showing the largest gains were Florida with 17 million and California with 9 million

REFRIGERATED WAREHOUSE CAPACITYJ BY REGIONS

The Pacific States led all other regions on October 1 1955 according to their gross refrigerated capaciV This region had applOximate~ 212 million cubic teet or 26 percent of the national total (table 3) In 1945 the Pacific States ranked tJrlrd with 124 million gross cubic feet of space Their relative share of the national storage capacity increased from 19 percent in 1945 to 26 pershycent in 1955

By contrast the rUddlc Atlantic States which held second ranking in 1955 with 153 million cubic feet have been unable to maintain their relative share of the namptional capaciV during the past 10 years The trend there is a declining one even though the total capacity has increased since 1945 At that time the Middle Atlantic capacity which totaled 146 million cubic feet and represented 23~ percent of the national total was the largest of the regions Its share dropped to 21 percent by 1951 to 20 per cent by 1953 and 19 percent by 1955

Another area that seems to be declining in relative importance is the East North Central region Its capacity on October 1 1955 totaled 147 million cubic feet which gave third ranking with 18 percent of the national total However in 1945 the area was second with 22 percent ()f the national total During the 1945shy1955 period the East North Central capacity increased less than 6 million cubic feet

The three ranking areas in 1955 accounted for 63 percent of all the r9fligershyated warehouse space in the country Since their share of the national total was bull about the same in 1945 it suggests that forces operating within industry are bringing about a realignment of space Traditionally the Middle Atlantic and East North Central States were the 2 leading storage areas on a capacity basis~ because of the development of space in metropolitan areas to serve vast urban popushylationa However as frozen foods became more acceptable and more and more frozen food products were introduced the need for CP F space in urban areas could only be accommodated by convertirig existing cooler space Construction of new space in these ~as was limited because of high land costs and with the trend toward sinshygle story wdts sizeable land tracts were needed

On the other hand by locating warehouses closer to points of production in areas removed from high land costs tracts were available for constructing considermiddot able storage capaciv in single story units in which greater use could be made of newq developed mechanical handling equipment In CalifOrnia for example 00 F space increased from less than 8 million cubic feet in 102 plants to 44 million in 218 plants from 1945 to 1955 By contrast in New York the State lith the largest capacity in the Middle Atlantic group zero space was increased only from 17 million to 32 million in the comparable period the number of plants increased from 260 w 314 Comparative figures for Illinois are as follows From 1945 to 1955 zero space increased from 21 to 36 million nwnber of plants decreased from 66 to 61

The South Atlantic region is another e1Cal1Ip1e of decentralization of space With the growth of citr-lS concentrate production there was an associated growth

of warehouse capacity In this region in 1945 o~middot 47 million cubic feet of space was in operation Of this amount onlJr 4 million could hold temperatures of ()O F or below The areas rank in the national picture at that time was fifth with 7 percent of the space Ten years later the area still ranked fifth but its capacity had increased to 96 million cubic feet which was 12 percent of the United States total Capacity of ()O F 0 space was up to 52 million cubic feet Almost all of this increase was the result of the construction of new warehouse space in Florida

Opound the remaining areas the West North Central ranked fourth in 1955 with 13 percent of the total national capacity or 104 m1l11on cubic feet Like the Middle Atlantic and East North Central regional the West North Central group has experishyenced a downward trend since 1945 Their share of the national total a decade ago was 17 percent and at that time 10 percentage points separated them from the fifth ranking region the South Atlantic TodayJ only 1 point separates the two The relative ranking of the New England West South Central East South Central and Mountain was the same in 1955 as in 1945 and ranked in the order named While the relative position of these 4 areas did not change they all added substantially to their capacity during the 1945-1955 period except the Mountain States There an increase of o~ 1 million cubic feet was reported

semiprivate zero space Thusl for the first tlmel the Middle Atlantic group was displaced for the leadership in these classifications In 19451 the Pacific area had only 12 percent ot the zero space in the count1T only 11 percent ot the zero space in public genera1 facilities and less than 3 percent of the zero space in private and semiprivate warehouses

Only one other area could match the growth ot zero space on the West coast and that is the South Atlantic where the growth was even greater The South Atlantic capacity reported on October 11 19551 amounted to 52 million gross cubic feet or about 14 percent of the natioD81 total Only 10 years earlierl about 3 percent of the countrys total or 4 million cubic feet were within the States comprising this region The significant growth experienced in this area is directly associated with the expansion ot space needed to accommodate the citrus industry During the 1945-1955 periodl the capacity of zero space in public genera1 facilities in the region was increased by 28 million cubic feet while in private and semiprivate tacilities the increase totaled 19 million cubic feet See fig 2 for the distri shybution of zero space I by type of warehousel and fig~ 3 for regional distribution

From a national standpointl the capacity of space capable of holding temperashytures of CO F or below has changed considerably since 1945 but the rea1 change is in the geographic distribution of this space Capacity o zero space is increasshying in all areas but it is increasing at a more rapid rate in new centers of storshyagel notably in Floridal Washingtonl Oregon and California In 19551 abOut 45 percent of the national total was in 5 regions-50uth At1anticl East 8hd West South Centrall Mountain and Pacific In 1945 they accounted for onQr 23 percent ot the total This upward trend is at the expense of 4 regions-New Englandl Middle Atlanticl East and West North Centra1-tJhich are expEriencing a corresponding loss ot the national share In 1945 their combined capacity of zero space was equivashylent to 77 percent of the total compared with 55 percent in 1955

See tables 6 to 9 inclusivel for a regional breakdown of refrigerated storage capacity in meat packing plants and apple houses

Public General Warehouses y In 19551 the Middle Atlantic region was the most important in terms of public

general space Of the 464 million cubic feet of public space in the countryl 22 percent--lOl miliion cubic feet--was in Middle Atlantic States (table 4) This capacitV surpassed the next leading area East Northmiddot Central by- almost 8 million cubic feet Also there were more public general warehouces in the Middle Atlantic group than in ~ other--l41 plants

epproximatelJr the same public general warehouse capacit) as in 1945 Be~ause of their preponderant warehotlSe capacity developed over a period of ~ years each held their relative rank in the national picture Butwhere the Middle Atlantic States accounted for 28 percent of the public space in 1945 only 22 pelCent of the total was in this area ~ 1955 In the East North Central States public genshyeral space dropped from 26 percent of the total in 1945 to 20 percent in 1955 It thus appears the two areas that have ranked first and second consistently for 10 years are steadily losing grolUld The capacity of space classified as public general is becoming larger nationally but apparently it is not increasing as rapidshyly in the Middle Atlantic and East North Central States as in other regions

For example in the third ranking area the Pacific ooast public general space increased from 14 percent of the national total to 17 percent during the 10 year period ended 1955 During the same period the relative share of the national public warehouse space located in West North Central States increased from 11 pershycent to 14 percent while in the South Atlantic area the increase was from 7 to 11 percent Lesser increases or no changeS were reported from the 4 remaining areas but each showed more public general space than in 1945

It is reasonable to conclude that the change in distribution of public general warehouse ~pace shows a trend on the part of public warehousemen to locate their plants away from traditional centers of storage The fact that the 8 States comshyprising the Middle Atlantic and East North Central regions have shown comparatively little change in public general warehouse capacity in 10 years is in contrast to the national increase of 112 million cubic feet during this period It is signifi shycant also that whereas these 2 regions formerly accounted for about 54 percent of all the public general space in the country in 1945 they account for only 42 percent in 1955

Private and Semi2rivate Gel~zal_W~~lt~s_~ JI Refrigerated storage space classified as private and semiprivate general is a

minor portion of the overall national capacity Of the total 813 million cubic feet only about 15 percent 121 million was private and semiprivate on October 1 1955 (tab1e 5)

This industry has increased in both number of plants and capacity and in every region in the past 10 years In 1945 the 343 private and semiprivate plants had a collective storage capacity of 40 million cubic feet By 1955 the munber had grown to ~33 plants with 121 million cubic feet of gross storage space

The largest gain was in the Pacific region Here private and semiprivate space was increased from 8 million in 1945 to 40 million by 1955 In the South Atlantic States meanwhile a building program that started after 1945 netted the area almost 22 million cubic feet of space in 10 years Private and semiprivate capacity in the area in 1945 amounted to a little more than 1 million cubic feet in the 15 plants located there whereas in 1955 almost 23 million cubic feet were in the area The nwnber of plants totaled 51

In order of ranking however the South Atlantic was third because more pri shyvate and semiprivate capacity was in the East North Central States But the difference between these two areas is fast narroying and only 1 nri Ilion cubic feet-shyseparatethemat this time compared with 8 million in 1953

REFRIGERATED STORAGE CAPACITY~ BY STATES

RefriGerated storage space is in eveTY State~ the 1955survey showed~ but the extent of availability varied signific~tl1among States Capacities ranged from less than 100000 cubic feet in WyoInink to 96 million in ~iashington See fig 5 for the changes in gross refrigerated space b1 States since 1953

Four States--Ilashington New York~ California~ and Illinois-had 42 percent of the national storage capacity (figc 4) Adding the next four leading StatesshyF1orlda~ Pennsylvania Michigan and New Jersey-increased the total to 5~ percent

Washington was by far theleading State with 96 million cubic feet (table 10) which included almost 70 million cubic feet of apple storage Nal York which ranked second had o~ 19 million cubic feet of apple house space

The emergence of Washington to the forefront is a recent development and is indicative of a trend in the Pacific area Traditional~ NerT York was the leader among States but the 1955 survey showed it had dropped to second position and even this ranking is in jeopardy because of the significant growth in California The total refrigerated capacity in New York totaled 895 million cubic feet on October 1 1955 while the California total was 888 million

From 1945 to 1955 warehOlle capacity in New York increased onlyen 4 million cubic feet hile in Illinois there was a reduction of 4 million The Illinois reduction would have been even greater had there not been an increase of 12 million cubic feet in private and semiprivate space to offset the 16 million cubic feet of space lost in public warehouses and meat packing plants during this period

In contrast to the relative stability of capacity in New York and Illinois the 10-year growth in Washington totaled 31 million cubic feet and in California 49 million The expansion in Washington was primari~ apple houses In Califorshynia the increase was mostly additions to public general and private and semishyprivate general space

Public General Warehouses

Although the overall storage capacity in New York has been relatively stable these ast 10 years public general space in the State was the largest reported by any State-58 million cubic feet California the next leading State had 49 milshylion followed by 46 million in Illinois (table II) These three States have alshymost one-tl-tird of the total public general space in the country From 1945 to 1955 Kansas and Florida each added about 13 million cubic feet to bring their puolic general capacity to 21 and 17 million cubic feet~ respectively Qnly New JerseY~ Pennsylvania~ Missouri~ and Texas ~ had more public general space than KansasJ which ranked 8th in the country

Private and Semiprivate General Warehouses

The distribution of private and semiprivate space (table 12) was quite differshyent from public general California was in the forefront with New York fourth behind Florida and Illinois California with 28 million cubic feet had almost as much as the second and third ranking States combined Floridas capacity at 18 million gross cubic feet was almost as large as the capacity in Illip~is and New York l1itilllrcIl~f_W~

Meat Packing Plants

Illinois Missouri and Iowa in the order named were the important cold storage States for the meat packing industry (table 13) Capacitywise they were about equal with a slight edge in favor of Illinois and collectivel3 they account- ed for 30 percent by the meat pacldng space in the country From 1945 to 1955 their capacity has been declining Some of this decrease is due to a reclassificashytion of storage space which excluded certain refrigerated space in later surveys and in part to an abandomnent of storage space in certain areas

Apple Hous

Two areas Pacific and l-1iddle Atlantic had the major share of apple storage space in the country Washington storages with 44 percent of the national tlttal and New York with 12 percent rank far ahead of all other States (table 14 1 and 16)

Next in order of importance were Virginia Michigan Oregon and California The six leading States with 83 percent of the available apple house capacity also accounted for 37 percent of the national space in the country capable of holding temperatures above 00 F bull

REFRIGERATED STORAGE CAPACITY BY CITlES v Chicago continues to maintalll its leadership aJllODg all cities as a center of

cold storage space The degree of concentration of space in the Chic~go metropolshyi tan area is given in table 11 along with the capacities of 23 other metropolitan areas in the country

Over 51 million gross cubic feet of space was in Chicago on Octobe~l 1955 about 10 million more than the second ranked city ~lew York Chicagos capacity was almost equal to the combined capacities found in Boston Detroit Kansas City Buffalo Minneapolis and St Paul In t1e order named these cities comprise the lower half of the 10 leading storage centers on a capacity basis

Los Angeles was in third position with almost 22 million cubic feet only about half as much as in Greater New York Ranking fourth and fifth with almost equal capacity was St Louis and Philadelphia respectively

CAPACITY OF REFRIGERATED WAREHOUSES m THE UNITED STATES

October 1 1955

INTRODUCTION

Scope and Objectives of the SUll

The Department of Agriculture made its first survey of the capacity of refrigerated storage facilities in the United States on Octobel 1 1921 and reported 544 million cubic feet of gross refrigerated space I Successive surveys have been made in each alternate year follmlling that first census of refrigerated space This is a report on the results of the 18th biennial space survey which showed 813 million cu~ic feet of gross refrigerated space in the United States as of October 1 195

As in previous surveys eve17 effort was made to include all known public~ private and semiprivate refriger2ted storage facilities Among those included are fish houses fruit houses meat~acking plants J frozen food processing facil shyitiES and cheese houses having artificiall1 cooled space for the storage of their products Otl]er types of establishments also nere surveyed and included in the findings for by defjnition the survey covered all classes opound facilities having space artifici~ c~oled to temperatur0s of 00 F or below in which foodstuffs are held for 30 d~s or mpre

Space in wholesaler jobber retailer or other classes of bU3iness gener~ is not used for holding productS 30 days or more and therefore was not included in this report nor was it included in any of the prEvious surveys Space in locker p1~~ts too was excluded also refrigerated space maintained by retail food businesses hotels and the Armed Services

The coverage of the refrigerated warehousing industrr for this survey was checked against membership listings published by trade associations by revie~T of trade journals and other trade media before and during the survey It is believed that the mailing list compiled from kno~m sources provided practic~ comp1ete coverage of the industlY

Replies to all questionnaires on warehouse capacity were car~ reviewed and checked againlst previous reports slJbmittEd by the warehouseman In each instance where a questionable entry was found confirmation or correction was secured

Y Included in the 1921 capacity is refrigerated Working space in meatshypacking plants which starting vlith the 1943 survey was excluded from all successive surveys begining with 193 meat packers were asked to 6X111ude all smoking and curing rooms also Classification of refrigerated space in the 19$3 survey was (a) 190 F and below and (b) ~bove 190 F to 00 F

-If-

The primsly objectives of these space surveys are

1 To ascertain the size of the national refrigerated capacitiY so as to have knowledge of trendsJ area changes distribution of space and other factors of importance to Government and industry alike

2 To provide a benchmark by which to check the adequacy of storage occupancy data furnished by the warehousing industlY each month as a part of the Cold Storage Report

3 To provide the warehouaing industry nth statistical data which mq be used for (a) planning an efficient and orderly expansion program in areas that can support additional storage space or (b) identifying thos e areas where space is in suffi shycient supply

4 To aid in locating refrigerated space to facilitate the presershyvation of perishable foods

NATIONAL REFRIGERATED WAREHOUSE CAPACITY

Gross Space

On October 1 1955 the national gross refrigerated capacity amounted to 813 million cubic feet (table 1) according to reports received by the Agricultural Murketing Service This capacity represented an increase or 65 million cubic ree~ since the 1953 survey and an increase of 102 million cubic feet over the reported capacity of October 1 1951 be 10-year growth from 1945 to 1955 was 167 milshylion cubic feet (fig 1 and table 2)

The long term upward trend in warehouse capacity became particularly pronouncshyed rollowine the start of lorld War II Increased demands for refrigerated space as a result of a war econo~ and the attendant development and growth or the frozen food industry during this period impinged significantly upon available space and broueht ll2tional warehouse occupancy rates to unsurpassed levels In the interest of rood conservation and in the futherance of our national defense efrort the warehousing industry expanded its capacity at a rate of a little more than 33 milshylion cubic feet per survey (every 2 years) during the 1945-1955 period Br comshyparison the annual rate of increase during the pre-llar period of 1931 to 1941 averaged 5 million cubic reet per survey

All regions shared but not equally in the capacity gains reported since 1953 The gains ranged from ll4000 cubic feet in the Mountain States to 20 milshylion on the West Coast The two areas reporth-g the largest gains the Pacific with 20 million and the South Atlantic with 15 million are ar~ in which are located extensive rrozen rood processing facilities

It is generally agreed that the significant increase in the output of rroshyzen foods particul3rly during the postwar period had a profound effect upon the development and growth or the refrigerated warehousing industry Much of the space in existence prior to (iorld vlar II was not constructed for frozen food starshyage and thererore was inadequate to provide the prescribed storage environment for the growing packs or frozen fruits vegetables juices and other frozen rood Production of frozen food which totaled less than 2 billion pounds in 1944 inshycreased a~ ~~ annual rate of almost 17 percent during the 1946-1954 postwar period To meet space requirements lor these products the warehousing industry started to convert existing cooler space which was becoming in surplus supply to freezer space They also embarked upon a construction program that added significantly to refrigerated space

The average increase of approximately 33 million cubic feet every bro years from 1945 to 1955 raised the national refrigerated storage capacity by 167 million cubic feet While this in itselpound was noteworthys for it represented a gain of 25 percent it did not rerlect the real change that occurred within the industry The impact or PQst-olar ractors on the warehousing industry resulted in the displaceshyment or cooler space in favor of freezer space and the decentralization or space to areas removed rrom traditional market centers The refrigerated capacity or the country is moving westward as a result and the difference between the cap8cishy~ in States west or the 11ississippi River and those e~st of it is gradually narshyrowing ApproJdmately 58 percent of the national capacity was in the eastern half of theASPM8tM1UWeJ9M 11 percent in 1947 55 percent in 1949 57 percent in 1951 56 pel copy UPDATA 1981 uP percent in 1955

Zero Space

In 1945 the relationship of national storage capacity capable of holding ()O F or lower to the capacity of higher temperatures was in the ratio of 1 to 5 That is for every 5 cubic feet o~ 1 cubic foot could hold ()O F or lower By 1955 for every 11 cubic feet of existing refrigerated space~ almost half 5 cubic feet could maintain temperatures of 00 F or below

Records covering the growth of zero space go back only as far as 1939 At that time only 87 million cubic feet were in operation but it grew to 135 million by October 1 1945 The 6-year growth was only 48 million cubic feet an average of 16 million each two-year period From 1945 to 1955 the industry added almost 242 million cubic feet which carried the national capacity to 347 million cubic feet The average gain during this period was approxbnately 48 million cubic feet each 2 years

Public Warehouses

In the early days of the warehousing industry meat packing plants provided sizeable refrigerated space for the storage of agricultural perishables in the extensive cooler storage facilities supporting their killing and storage operashytions At that time meat packers commo~ took in food products belonging to others for storage However most meat packers now confine their space to their Olom storage programs and it is not unusual for them to use public general space when their own space is filled to capacity

Public warehouse space including public apple houses is by far the preponshyderant type of space available in the nation About 799 plants were in operation on October 1 1955 having a collective storage capacity of 499 million cubic feet This was more than 60 percent of the total refIigerated space in the counshytry In addition more than hill of this space 282 million cubic feet could hold temperatures of CP F or lower Considering that there was only 377 million cubic feet of zero space in the country on October 1 1955 this segment of the industry has an important role in the storage of agricultural perishables and seJlliperishashybles Public space capable of holding 00 F is more than four times that of 1939 and almost 70 percent larger than in 1945

Private and Semiprivate Warehouses

The increase in warehouse capacity reported by pllolic warehousemen was more than matched by the growth in private and semiprivate space (including apple houses) bull This industry is fast becoming an important factor in the storage of frozen foods Their refrigerated space capable of holding 00 F or lOier increasshyed from 8 million cubic feet in 1939 to 74 million in 1955 Percentage-wise this represented an increase of more than 800 percent During the past 10 years 62 million cubic feet of zero space came into being as private and semiprivate space chiefly on the west coast and in the South Atlantic region in areas close to points of production In these regions the States showing the largest gains were Florida with 17 million and California with 9 million

REFRIGERATED WAREHOUSE CAPACITYJ BY REGIONS

The Pacific States led all other regions on October 1 1955 according to their gross refrigerated capaciV This region had applOximate~ 212 million cubic teet or 26 percent of the national total (table 3) In 1945 the Pacific States ranked tJrlrd with 124 million gross cubic feet of space Their relative share of the national storage capacity increased from 19 percent in 1945 to 26 pershycent in 1955

By contrast the rUddlc Atlantic States which held second ranking in 1955 with 153 million cubic feet have been unable to maintain their relative share of the namptional capaciV during the past 10 years The trend there is a declining one even though the total capacity has increased since 1945 At that time the Middle Atlantic capacity which totaled 146 million cubic feet and represented 23~ percent of the national total was the largest of the regions Its share dropped to 21 percent by 1951 to 20 per cent by 1953 and 19 percent by 1955

Another area that seems to be declining in relative importance is the East North Central region Its capacity on October 1 1955 totaled 147 million cubic feet which gave third ranking with 18 percent of the national total However in 1945 the area was second with 22 percent ()f the national total During the 1945shy1955 period the East North Central capacity increased less than 6 million cubic feet

The three ranking areas in 1955 accounted for 63 percent of all the r9fligershyated warehouse space in the country Since their share of the national total was bull about the same in 1945 it suggests that forces operating within industry are bringing about a realignment of space Traditionally the Middle Atlantic and East North Central States were the 2 leading storage areas on a capacity basis~ because of the development of space in metropolitan areas to serve vast urban popushylationa However as frozen foods became more acceptable and more and more frozen food products were introduced the need for CP F space in urban areas could only be accommodated by convertirig existing cooler space Construction of new space in these ~as was limited because of high land costs and with the trend toward sinshygle story wdts sizeable land tracts were needed

On the other hand by locating warehouses closer to points of production in areas removed from high land costs tracts were available for constructing considermiddot able storage capaciv in single story units in which greater use could be made of newq developed mechanical handling equipment In CalifOrnia for example 00 F space increased from less than 8 million cubic feet in 102 plants to 44 million in 218 plants from 1945 to 1955 By contrast in New York the State lith the largest capacity in the Middle Atlantic group zero space was increased only from 17 million to 32 million in the comparable period the number of plants increased from 260 w 314 Comparative figures for Illinois are as follows From 1945 to 1955 zero space increased from 21 to 36 million nwnber of plants decreased from 66 to 61

The South Atlantic region is another e1Cal1Ip1e of decentralization of space With the growth of citr-lS concentrate production there was an associated growth

of warehouse capacity In this region in 1945 o~middot 47 million cubic feet of space was in operation Of this amount onlJr 4 million could hold temperatures of ()O F or below The areas rank in the national picture at that time was fifth with 7 percent of the space Ten years later the area still ranked fifth but its capacity had increased to 96 million cubic feet which was 12 percent of the United States total Capacity of ()O F 0 space was up to 52 million cubic feet Almost all of this increase was the result of the construction of new warehouse space in Florida

Opound the remaining areas the West North Central ranked fourth in 1955 with 13 percent of the total national capacity or 104 m1l11on cubic feet Like the Middle Atlantic and East North Central regional the West North Central group has experishyenced a downward trend since 1945 Their share of the national total a decade ago was 17 percent and at that time 10 percentage points separated them from the fifth ranking region the South Atlantic TodayJ only 1 point separates the two The relative ranking of the New England West South Central East South Central and Mountain was the same in 1955 as in 1945 and ranked in the order named While the relative position of these 4 areas did not change they all added substantially to their capacity during the 1945-1955 period except the Mountain States There an increase of o~ 1 million cubic feet was reported

semiprivate zero space Thusl for the first tlmel the Middle Atlantic group was displaced for the leadership in these classifications In 19451 the Pacific area had only 12 percent ot the zero space in the count1T only 11 percent ot the zero space in public genera1 facilities and less than 3 percent of the zero space in private and semiprivate warehouses

Only one other area could match the growth ot zero space on the West coast and that is the South Atlantic where the growth was even greater The South Atlantic capacity reported on October 11 19551 amounted to 52 million gross cubic feet or about 14 percent of the natioD81 total Only 10 years earlierl about 3 percent of the countrys total or 4 million cubic feet were within the States comprising this region The significant growth experienced in this area is directly associated with the expansion ot space needed to accommodate the citrus industry During the 1945-1955 periodl the capacity of zero space in public genera1 facilities in the region was increased by 28 million cubic feet while in private and semiprivate tacilities the increase totaled 19 million cubic feet See fig 2 for the distri shybution of zero space I by type of warehousel and fig~ 3 for regional distribution

From a national standpointl the capacity of space capable of holding temperashytures of CO F or below has changed considerably since 1945 but the rea1 change is in the geographic distribution of this space Capacity o zero space is increasshying in all areas but it is increasing at a more rapid rate in new centers of storshyagel notably in Floridal Washingtonl Oregon and California In 19551 abOut 45 percent of the national total was in 5 regions-50uth At1anticl East 8hd West South Centrall Mountain and Pacific In 1945 they accounted for onQr 23 percent ot the total This upward trend is at the expense of 4 regions-New Englandl Middle Atlanticl East and West North Centra1-tJhich are expEriencing a corresponding loss ot the national share In 1945 their combined capacity of zero space was equivashylent to 77 percent of the total compared with 55 percent in 1955

See tables 6 to 9 inclusivel for a regional breakdown of refrigerated storage capacity in meat packing plants and apple houses

Public General Warehouses y In 19551 the Middle Atlantic region was the most important in terms of public

general space Of the 464 million cubic feet of public space in the countryl 22 percent--lOl miliion cubic feet--was in Middle Atlantic States (table 4) This capacitV surpassed the next leading area East Northmiddot Central by- almost 8 million cubic feet Also there were more public general warehouces in the Middle Atlantic group than in ~ other--l41 plants

The first and second ranking areas with public general space~ddle Atlantic and East North Central-had cOlparatively the same capacity in 1955 as in 1945 and the same relative rank as then As a matter of factI the order of ranking Cor each region in 1955 was identical to the 1945 ranking which is as follows I starting with the third position Pacificl West North Central South Atlanticl West South Centrall New England East South Central and Mountain

epproximatelJr the same public general warehouse capacit) as in 1945 Be~ause of their preponderant warehotlSe capacity developed over a period of ~ years each held their relative rank in the national picture Butwhere the Middle Atlantic States accounted for 28 percent of the public space in 1945 only 22 pelCent of the total was in this area ~ 1955 In the East North Central States public genshyeral space dropped from 26 percent of the total in 1945 to 20 percent in 1955 It thus appears the two areas that have ranked first and second consistently for 10 years are steadily losing grolUld The capacity of space classified as public general is becoming larger nationally but apparently it is not increasing as rapidshyly in the Middle Atlantic and East North Central States as in other regions

For example in the third ranking area the Pacific ooast public general space increased from 14 percent of the national total to 17 percent during the 10 year period ended 1955 During the same period the relative share of the national public warehouse space located in West North Central States increased from 11 pershycent to 14 percent while in the South Atlantic area the increase was from 7 to 11 percent Lesser increases or no changeS were reported from the 4 remaining areas but each showed more public general space than in 1945

It is reasonable to conclude that the change in distribution of public general warehouse ~pace shows a trend on the part of public warehousemen to locate their plants away from traditional centers of storage The fact that the 8 States comshyprising the Middle Atlantic and East North Central regions have shown comparatively little change in public general warehouse capacity in 10 years is in contrast to the national increase of 112 million cubic feet during this period It is signifi shycant also that whereas these 2 regions formerly accounted for about 54 percent of all the public general space in the country in 1945 they account for only 42 percent in 1955

Private and Semi2rivate Gel~zal_W~~lt~s_~ JI Refrigerated storage space classified as private and semiprivate general is a

minor portion of the overall national capacity Of the total 813 million cubic feet only about 15 percent 121 million was private and semiprivate on October 1 1955 (tab1e 5)

This industry has increased in both number of plants and capacity and in every region in the past 10 years In 1945 the 343 private and semiprivate plants had a collective storage capacity of 40 million cubic feet By 1955 the munber had grown to ~33 plants with 121 million cubic feet of gross storage space

The largest gain was in the Pacific region Here private and semiprivate space was increased from 8 million in 1945 to 40 million by 1955 In the South Atlantic States meanwhile a building program that started after 1945 netted the area almost 22 million cubic feet of space in 10 years Private and semiprivate capacity in the area in 1945 amounted to a little more than 1 million cubic feet in the 15 plants located there whereas in 1955 almost 23 million cubic feet were in the area The nwnber of plants totaled 51

In order of ranking however the South Atlantic was third because more pri shyvate and semiprivate capacity was in the East North Central States But the difference between these two areas is fast narroying and only 1 nri Ilion cubic feet-shyseparatethemat this time compared with 8 million in 1953

REFRIGERATED STORAGE CAPACITY~ BY STATES

RefriGerated storage space is in eveTY State~ the 1955survey showed~ but the extent of availability varied signific~tl1among States Capacities ranged from less than 100000 cubic feet in WyoInink to 96 million in ~iashington See fig 5 for the changes in gross refrigerated space b1 States since 1953

Four States--Ilashington New York~ California~ and Illinois-had 42 percent of the national storage capacity (figc 4) Adding the next four leading StatesshyF1orlda~ Pennsylvania Michigan and New Jersey-increased the total to 5~ percent

Washington was by far theleading State with 96 million cubic feet (table 10) which included almost 70 million cubic feet of apple storage Nal York which ranked second had o~ 19 million cubic feet of apple house space

The emergence of Washington to the forefront is a recent development and is indicative of a trend in the Pacific area Traditional~ NerT York was the leader among States but the 1955 survey showed it had dropped to second position and even this ranking is in jeopardy because of the significant growth in California The total refrigerated capacity in New York totaled 895 million cubic feet on October 1 1955 while the California total was 888 million

From 1945 to 1955 warehOlle capacity in New York increased onlyen 4 million cubic feet hile in Illinois there was a reduction of 4 million The Illinois reduction would have been even greater had there not been an increase of 12 million cubic feet in private and semiprivate space to offset the 16 million cubic feet of space lost in public warehouses and meat packing plants during this period

In contrast to the relative stability of capacity in New York and Illinois the 10-year growth in Washington totaled 31 million cubic feet and in California 49 million The expansion in Washington was primari~ apple houses In Califorshynia the increase was mostly additions to public general and private and semishyprivate general space

Public General Warehouses

Although the overall storage capacity in New York has been relatively stable these ast 10 years public general space in the State was the largest reported by any State-58 million cubic feet California the next leading State had 49 milshylion followed by 46 million in Illinois (table II) These three States have alshymost one-tl-tird of the total public general space in the country From 1945 to 1955 Kansas and Florida each added about 13 million cubic feet to bring their puolic general capacity to 21 and 17 million cubic feet~ respectively Qnly New JerseY~ Pennsylvania~ Missouri~ and Texas ~ had more public general space than KansasJ which ranked 8th in the country

Private and Semiprivate General Warehouses

The distribution of private and semiprivate space (table 12) was quite differshyent from public general California was in the forefront with New York fourth behind Florida and Illinois California with 28 million cubic feet had almost as much as the second and third ranking States combined Floridas capacity at 18 million gross cubic feet was almost as large as the capacity in Illip~is and New York l1itilllrcIl~f_W~

Meat Packing Plants

Illinois Missouri and Iowa in the order named were the important cold storage States for the meat packing industry (table 13) Capacitywise they were about equal with a slight edge in favor of Illinois and collectivel3 they account- ed for 30 percent by the meat pacldng space in the country From 1945 to 1955 their capacity has been declining Some of this decrease is due to a reclassificashytion of storage space which excluded certain refrigerated space in later surveys and in part to an abandomnent of storage space in certain areas

Apple Hous

Two areas Pacific and l-1iddle Atlantic had the major share of apple storage space in the country Washington storages with 44 percent of the national tlttal and New York with 12 percent rank far ahead of all other States (table 14 1 and 16)

Next in order of importance were Virginia Michigan Oregon and California The six leading States with 83 percent of the available apple house capacity also accounted for 37 percent of the national space in the country capable of holding temperatures above 00 F bull

REFRIGERATED STORAGE CAPACITY BY CITlES v Chicago continues to maintalll its leadership aJllODg all cities as a center of

cold storage space The degree of concentration of space in the Chic~go metropolshyi tan area is given in table 11 along with the capacities of 23 other metropolitan areas in the country

Over 51 million gross cubic feet of space was in Chicago on Octobe~l 1955 about 10 million more than the second ranked city ~lew York Chicagos capacity was almost equal to the combined capacities found in Boston Detroit Kansas City Buffalo Minneapolis and St Paul In t1e order named these cities comprise the lower half of the 10 leading storage centers on a capacity basis

Los Angeles was in third position with almost 22 million cubic feet only about half as much as in Greater New York Ranking fourth and fifth with almost equal capacity was St Louis and Philadelphia respectively

CAPACITY OF REFRIGERATED WAREHOUSES m THE UNITED STATES

October 1 1955

INTRODUCTION

Scope and Objectives of the SUll

The Department of Agriculture made its first survey of the capacity of refrigerated storage facilities in the United States on Octobel 1 1921 and reported 544 million cubic feet of gross refrigerated space I Successive surveys have been made in each alternate year follmlling that first census of refrigerated space This is a report on the results of the 18th biennial space survey which showed 813 million cu~ic feet of gross refrigerated space in the United States as of October 1 195

As in previous surveys eve17 effort was made to include all known public~ private and semiprivate refriger2ted storage facilities Among those included are fish houses fruit houses meat~acking plants J frozen food processing facil shyitiES and cheese houses having artificiall1 cooled space for the storage of their products Otl]er types of establishments also nere surveyed and included in the findings for by defjnition the survey covered all classes opound facilities having space artifici~ c~oled to temperatur0s of 00 F or below in which foodstuffs are held for 30 d~s or mpre

Space in wholesaler jobber retailer or other classes of bU3iness gener~ is not used for holding productS 30 days or more and therefore was not included in this report nor was it included in any of the prEvious surveys Space in locker p1~~ts too was excluded also refrigerated space maintained by retail food businesses hotels and the Armed Services

The coverage of the refrigerated warehousing industrr for this survey was checked against membership listings published by trade associations by revie~T of trade journals and other trade media before and during the survey It is believed that the mailing list compiled from kno~m sources provided practic~ comp1ete coverage of the industlY

Replies to all questionnaires on warehouse capacity were car~ reviewed and checked againlst previous reports slJbmittEd by the warehouseman In each instance where a questionable entry was found confirmation or correction was secured

Y Included in the 1921 capacity is refrigerated Working space in meatshypacking plants which starting vlith the 1943 survey was excluded from all successive surveys begining with 193 meat packers were asked to 6X111ude all smoking and curing rooms also Classification of refrigerated space in the 19$3 survey was (a) 190 F and below and (b) ~bove 190 F to 00 F

The primsly objectives of these space surveys are

1 To ascertain the size of the national refrigerated capacitiY so as to have knowledge of trendsJ area changes distribution of space and other factors of importance to Government and industry alike

2 To provide a benchmark by which to check the adequacy of storage occupancy data furnished by the warehousing industlY each month as a part of the Cold Storage Report

3 To provide the warehouaing industry nth statistical data which mq be used for (a) planning an efficient and orderly expansion program in areas that can support additional storage space or (b) identifying thos e areas where space is in suffi shycient supply

4 To aid in locating refrigerated space to facilitate the presershyvation of perishable foods

NATIONAL REFRIGERATED WAREHOUSE CAPACITY

Gross Space

On October 1 1955 the national gross refrigerated capacity amounted to 813 million cubic feet (table 1) according to reports received by the Agricultural Murketing Service This capacity represented an increase or 65 million cubic ree~ since the 1953 survey and an increase of 102 million cubic feet over the reported capacity of October 1 1951 be 10-year growth from 1945 to 1955 was 167 milshylion cubic feet (fig 1 and table 2)

The long term upward trend in warehouse capacity became particularly pronouncshyed rollowine the start of lorld War II Increased demands for refrigerated space as a result of a war econo~ and the attendant development and growth or the frozen food industry during this period impinged significantly upon available space and broueht ll2tional warehouse occupancy rates to unsurpassed levels In the interest of rood conservation and in the futherance of our national defense efrort the warehousing industry expanded its capacity at a rate of a little more than 33 milshylion cubic feet per survey (every 2 years) during the 1945-1955 period Br comshyparison the annual rate of increase during the pre-llar period of 1931 to 1941 averaged 5 million cubic reet per survey

All regions shared but not equally in the capacity gains reported since 1953 The gains ranged from ll4000 cubic feet in the Mountain States to 20 milshylion on the West Coast The two areas reporth-g the largest gains the Pacific with 20 million and the South Atlantic with 15 million are ar~ in which are located extensive rrozen rood processing facilities

It is generally agreed that the significant increase in the output of rroshyzen foods particul3rly during the postwar period had a profound effect upon the development and growth or the refrigerated warehousing industry Much of the space in existence prior to (iorld vlar II was not constructed for frozen food starshyage and thererore was inadequate to provide the prescribed storage environment for the growing packs or frozen fruits vegetables juices and other frozen rood Production of frozen food which totaled less than 2 billion pounds in 1944 inshycreased a~ ~~ annual rate of almost 17 percent during the 1946-1954 postwar period To meet space requirements lor these products the warehousing industry started to convert existing cooler space which was becoming in surplus supply to freezer space They also embarked upon a construction program that added significantly to refrigerated space

The average increase of approximately 33 million cubic feet every bro years from 1945 to 1955 raised the national refrigerated storage capacity by 167 million cubic feet While this in itselpound was noteworthys for it represented a gain of 25 percent it did not rerlect the real change that occurred within the industry The impact or PQst-olar ractors on the warehousing industry resulted in the displaceshyment or cooler space in favor of freezer space and the decentralization or space to areas removed rrom traditional market centers The refrigerated capacity or the country is moving westward as a result and the difference between the cap8cishy~ in States west or the 11ississippi River and those e~st of it is gradually narshyrowing ApproJdmately 58 percent of the national capacity was in the eastern half of theASPM8tM1UWeJ9M 11 percent in 1947 55 percent in 1949 57 percent in 1951 56 pel copy UPDATA 1981 uP percent in 1955

Zero Space

In 1945 the relationship of national storage capacity capable of holding ()O F or lower to the capacity of higher temperatures was in the ratio of 1 to 5 That is for every 5 cubic feet o~ 1 cubic foot could hold ()O F or lower By 1955 for every 11 cubic feet of existing refrigerated space~ almost half 5 cubic feet could maintain temperatures of 00 F or below

Records covering the growth of zero space go back only as far as 1939 At that time only 87 million cubic feet were in operation but it grew to 135 million by October 1 1945 The 6-year growth was only 48 million cubic feet an average of 16 million each two-year period From 1945 to 1955 the industry added almost 242 million cubic feet which carried the national capacity to 347 million cubic feet The average gain during this period was approxbnately 48 million cubic feet each 2 years

Public Warehouses

In the early days of the warehousing industry meat packing plants provided sizeable refrigerated space for the storage of agricultural perishables in the extensive cooler storage facilities supporting their killing and storage operashytions At that time meat packers commo~ took in food products belonging to others for storage However most meat packers now confine their space to their Olom storage programs and it is not unusual for them to use public general space when their own space is filled to capacity

Public warehouse space including public apple houses is by far the preponshyderant type of space available in the nation About 799 plants were in operation on October 1 1955 having a collective storage capacity of 499 million cubic feet This was more than 60 percent of the total refIigerated space in the counshytry In addition more than hill of this space 282 million cubic feet could hold temperatures of CP F or lower Considering that there was only 377 million cubic feet of zero space in the country on October 1 1955 this segment of the industry has an important role in the storage of agricultural perishables and seJlliperishashybles Public space capable of holding 00 F is more than four times that of 1939 and almost 70 percent larger than in 1945

Private and Semiprivate Warehouses

The increase in warehouse capacity reported by pllolic warehousemen was more than matched by the growth in private and semiprivate space (including apple houses) bull This industry is fast becoming an important factor in the storage of frozen foods Their refrigerated space capable of holding 00 F or lOier increasshyed from 8 million cubic feet in 1939 to 74 million in 1955 Percentage-wise this represented an increase of more than 800 percent During the past 10 years 62 million cubic feet of zero space came into being as private and semiprivate space chiefly on the west coast and in the South Atlantic region in areas close to points of production In these regions the States showing the largest gains were Florida with 17 million and California with 9 million

REFRIGERATED WAREHOUSE CAPACITYJ BY REGIONS

The Pacific States led all other regions on October 1 1955 according to their gross refrigerated capaciV This region had applOximate~ 212 million cubic teet or 26 percent of the national total (table 3) In 1945 the Pacific States ranked tJrlrd with 124 million gross cubic feet of space Their relative share of the national storage capacity increased from 19 percent in 1945 to 26 pershycent in 1955

By contrast the rUddlc Atlantic States which held second ranking in 1955 with 153 million cubic feet have been unable to maintain their relative share of the namptional capaciV during the past 10 years The trend there is a declining one even though the total capacity has increased since 1945 At that time the Middle Atlantic capacity which totaled 146 million cubic feet and represented 23~ percent of the national total was the largest of the regions Its share dropped to 21 percent by 1951 to 20 per cent by 1953 and 19 percent by 1955

Another area that seems to be declining in relative importance is the East North Central region Its capacity on October 1 1955 totaled 147 million cubic feet which gave third ranking with 18 percent of the national total However in 1945 the area was second with 22 percent ()f the national total During the 1945shy1955 period the East North Central capacity increased less than 6 million cubic feet

The three ranking areas in 1955 accounted for 63 percent of all the r9fligershyated warehouse space in the country Since their share of the national total was bull about the same in 1945 it suggests that forces operating within industry are bringing about a realignment of space Traditionally the Middle Atlantic and East North Central States were the 2 leading storage areas on a capacity basis~ because of the development of space in metropolitan areas to serve vast urban popushylationa However as frozen foods became more acceptable and more and more frozen food products were introduced the need for CP F space in urban areas could only be accommodated by convertirig existing cooler space Construction of new space in these ~as was limited because of high land costs and with the trend toward sinshygle story wdts sizeable land tracts were needed

On the other hand by locating warehouses closer to points of production in areas removed from high land costs tracts were available for constructing considermiddot able storage capaciv in single story units in which greater use could be made of newq developed mechanical handling equipment In CalifOrnia for example 00 F space increased from less than 8 million cubic feet in 102 plants to 44 million in 218 plants from 1945 to 1955 By contrast in New York the State lith the largest capacity in the Middle Atlantic group zero space was increased only from 17 million to 32 million in the comparable period the number of plants increased from 260 w 314 Comparative figures for Illinois are as follows From 1945 to 1955 zero space increased from 21 to 36 million nwnber of plants decreased from 66 to 61

The South Atlantic region is another e1Cal1Ip1e of decentralization of space With the growth of citr-lS concentrate production there was an associated growth

of warehouse capacity In this region in 1945 o~middot 47 million cubic feet of space was in operation Of this amount onlJr 4 million could hold temperatures of ()O F or below The areas rank in the national picture at that time was fifth with 7 percent of the space Ten years later the area still ranked fifth but its capacity had increased to 96 million cubic feet which was 12 percent of the United States total Capacity of ()O F 0 space was up to 52 million cubic feet Almost all of this increase was the result of the construction of new warehouse space in Florida

Opound the remaining areas the West North Central ranked fourth in 1955 with 13 percent of the total national capacity or 104 m1l11on cubic feet Like the Middle Atlantic and East North Central regional the West North Central group has experishyenced a downward trend since 1945 Their share of the national total a decade ago was 17 percent and at that time 10 percentage points separated them from the fifth ranking region the South Atlantic TodayJ only 1 point separates the two The relative ranking of the New England West South Central East South Central and Mountain was the same in 1955 as in 1945 and ranked in the order named While the relative position of these 4 areas did not change they all added substantially to their capacity during the 1945-1955 period except the Mountain States There an increase of o~ 1 million cubic feet was reported

semiprivate zero space Thusl for the first tlmel the Middle Atlantic group was displaced for the leadership in these classifications In 19451 the Pacific area had only 12 percent ot the zero space in the count1T only 11 percent ot the zero space in public genera1 facilities and less than 3 percent of the zero space in private and semiprivate warehouses

Only one other area could match the growth ot zero space on the West coast and that is the South Atlantic where the growth was even greater The South Atlantic capacity reported on October 11 19551 amounted to 52 million gross cubic feet or about 14 percent of the natioD81 total Only 10 years earlierl about 3 percent of the countrys total or 4 million cubic feet were within the States comprising this region The significant growth experienced in this area is directly associated with the expansion ot space needed to accommodate the citrus industry During the 1945-1955 periodl the capacity of zero space in public genera1 facilities in the region was increased by 28 million cubic feet while in private and semiprivate tacilities the increase totaled 19 million cubic feet See fig 2 for the distri shybution of zero space I by type of warehousel and fig~ 3 for regional distribution

From a national standpointl the capacity of space capable of holding temperashytures of CO F or below has changed considerably since 1945 but the rea1 change is in the geographic distribution of this space Capacity o zero space is increasshying in all areas but it is increasing at a more rapid rate in new centers of storshyagel notably in Floridal Washingtonl Oregon and California In 19551 abOut 45 percent of the national total was in 5 regions-50uth At1anticl East 8hd West South Centrall Mountain and Pacific In 1945 they accounted for onQr 23 percent ot the total This upward trend is at the expense of 4 regions-New Englandl Middle Atlanticl East and West North Centra1-tJhich are expEriencing a corresponding loss ot the national share In 1945 their combined capacity of zero space was equivashylent to 77 percent of the total compared with 55 percent in 1955

See tables 6 to 9 inclusivel for a regional breakdown of refrigerated storage capacity in meat packing plants and apple houses

Public General Warehouses y In 19551 the Middle Atlantic region was the most important in terms of public

general space Of the 464 million cubic feet of public space in the countryl 22 percent--lOl miliion cubic feet--was in Middle Atlantic States (table 4) This capacitV surpassed the next leading area East Northmiddot Central by- almost 8 million cubic feet Also there were more public general warehouces in the Middle Atlantic group than in ~ other--l41 plants

The first and second ranking areas with public general space~ddle Atlantic and East North Central-had cOlparatively the same capacity in 1955 as in 1945 and the same relative rank as then As a matter of factI the order of ranking Cor each region in 1955 was identical to the 1945 ranking which is as follows I starting with the third position Pacificl West North Central South Atlanticl West South Centrall New England East South Central and Mountain

While the relative rankings fer all regions did not change in the past 10 yearsl significant changes did take place in the relative shares of each region in the national total In the Middle Atlantic and East North Central areasa each had

epproximatelJr the same public general warehouse capacit) as in 1945 Be~ause of their preponderant warehotlSe capacity developed over a period of ~ years each held their relative rank in the national picture Butwhere the Middle Atlantic States accounted for 28 percent of the public space in 1945 only 22 pelCent of the total was in this area ~ 1955 In the East North Central States public genshyeral space dropped from 26 percent of the total in 1945 to 20 percent in 1955 It thus appears the two areas that have ranked first and second consistently for 10 years are steadily losing grolUld The capacity of space classified as public general is becoming larger nationally but apparently it is not increasing as rapidshyly in the Middle Atlantic and East North Central States as in other regions

For example in the third ranking area the Pacific ooast public general space increased from 14 percent of the national total to 17 percent during the 10 year period ended 1955 During the same period the relative share of the national public warehouse space located in West North Central States increased from 11 pershycent to 14 percent while in the South Atlantic area the increase was from 7 to 11 percent Lesser increases or no changeS were reported from the 4 remaining areas but each showed more public general space than in 1945

It is reasonable to conclude that the change in distribution of public general warehouse ~pace shows a trend on the part of public warehousemen to locate their plants away from traditional centers of storage The fact that the 8 States comshyprising the Middle Atlantic and East North Central regions have shown comparatively little change in public general warehouse capacity in 10 years is in contrast to the national increase of 112 million cubic feet during this period It is signifi shycant also that whereas these 2 regions formerly accounted for about 54 percent of all the public general space in the country in 1945 they account for only 42 percent in 1955

Private and Semi2rivate Gel~zal_W~~lt~s_~ JI Refrigerated storage space classified as private and semiprivate general is a

minor portion of the overall national capacity Of the total 813 million cubic feet only about 15 percent 121 million was private and semiprivate on October 1 1955 (tab1e 5)

This industry has increased in both number of plants and capacity and in every region in the past 10 years In 1945 the 343 private and semiprivate plants had a collective storage capacity of 40 million cubic feet By 1955 the munber had grown to ~33 plants with 121 million cubic feet of gross storage space

The largest gain was in the Pacific region Here private and semiprivate space was increased from 8 million in 1945 to 40 million by 1955 In the South Atlantic States meanwhile a building program that started after 1945 netted the area almost 22 million cubic feet of space in 10 years Private and semiprivate capacity in the area in 1945 amounted to a little more than 1 million cubic feet in the 15 plants located there whereas in 1955 almost 23 million cubic feet were in the area The nwnber of plants totaled 51

In order of ranking however the South Atlantic was third because more pri shyvate and semiprivate capacity was in the East North Central States But the difference between these two areas is fast narroying and only 1 nri Ilion cubic feet-shyseparatethemat this time compared with 8 million in 1953

REFRIGERATED STORAGE CAPACITY~ BY STATES

RefriGerated storage space is in eveTY State~ the 1955survey showed~ but the extent of availability varied signific~tl1among States Capacities ranged from less than 100000 cubic feet in WyoInink to 96 million in ~iashington See fig 5 for the changes in gross refrigerated space b1 States since 1953

Four States--Ilashington New York~ California~ and Illinois-had 42 percent of the national storage capacity (figc 4) Adding the next four leading StatesshyF1orlda~ Pennsylvania Michigan and New Jersey-increased the total to 5~ percent

Washington was by far theleading State with 96 million cubic feet (table 10) which included almost 70 million cubic feet of apple storage Nal York which ranked second had o~ 19 million cubic feet of apple house space

The emergence of Washington to the forefront is a recent development and is indicative of a trend in the Pacific area Traditional~ NerT York was the leader among States but the 1955 survey showed it had dropped to second position and even this ranking is in jeopardy because of the significant growth in California The total refrigerated capacity in New York totaled 895 million cubic feet on October 1 1955 while the California total was 888 million

From 1945 to 1955 warehOlle capacity in New York increased onlyen 4 million cubic feet hile in Illinois there was a reduction of 4 million The Illinois reduction would have been even greater had there not been an increase of 12 million cubic feet in private and semiprivate space to offset the 16 million cubic feet of space lost in public warehouses and meat packing plants during this period

In contrast to the relative stability of capacity in New York and Illinois the 10-year growth in Washington totaled 31 million cubic feet and in California 49 million The expansion in Washington was primari~ apple houses In Califorshynia the increase was mostly additions to public general and private and semishyprivate general space

Public General Warehouses

Although the overall storage capacity in New York has been relatively stable these ast 10 years public general space in the State was the largest reported by any State-58 million cubic feet California the next leading State had 49 milshylion followed by 46 million in Illinois (table II) These three States have alshymost one-tl-tird of the total public general space in the country From 1945 to 1955 Kansas and Florida each added about 13 million cubic feet to bring their puolic general capacity to 21 and 17 million cubic feet~ respectively Qnly New JerseY~ Pennsylvania~ Missouri~ and Texas ~ had more public general space than KansasJ which ranked 8th in the country

Private and Semiprivate General Warehouses

The distribution of private and semiprivate space (table 12) was quite differshyent from public general California was in the forefront with New York fourth behind Florida and Illinois California with 28 million cubic feet had almost as much as the second and third ranking States combined Floridas capacity at 18 million gross cubic feet was almost as large as the capacity in Illip~is and New York l1itilllrcIl~f_W~

Meat Packing Plants

Illinois Missouri and Iowa in the order named were the important cold storage States for the meat packing industry (table 13) Capacitywise they were about equal with a slight edge in favor of Illinois and collectivel3 they account- ed for 30 percent by the meat pacldng space in the country From 1945 to 1955 their capacity has been declining Some of this decrease is due to a reclassificashytion of storage space which excluded certain refrigerated space in later surveys and in part to an abandomnent of storage space in certain areas

Apple Hous

Two areas Pacific and l-1iddle Atlantic had the major share of apple storage space in the country Washington storages with 44 percent of the national tlttal and New York with 12 percent rank far ahead of all other States (table 14 1 and 16)

Next in order of importance were Virginia Michigan Oregon and California The six leading States with 83 percent of the available apple house capacity also accounted for 37 percent of the national space in the country capable of holding temperatures above 00 F bull

REFRIGERATED STORAGE CAPACITY BY CITlES v Chicago continues to maintalll its leadership aJllODg all cities as a center of

cold storage space The degree of concentration of space in the Chic~go metropolshyi tan area is given in table 11 along with the capacities of 23 other metropolitan areas in the country

Over 51 million gross cubic feet of space was in Chicago on Octobe~l 1955 about 10 million more than the second ranked city ~lew York Chicagos capacity was almost equal to the combined capacities found in Boston Detroit Kansas City Buffalo Minneapolis and St Paul In t1e order named these cities comprise the lower half of the 10 leading storage centers on a capacity basis

Los Angeles was in third position with almost 22 million cubic feet only about half as much as in Greater New York Ranking fourth and fifth with almost equal capacity was St Louis and Philadelphia respectively

NATIONAL REFRIGERATED WAREHOUSE CAPACITY

Gross Space

On October 1 1955 the national gross refrigerated capacity amounted to 813 million cubic feet (table 1) according to reports received by the Agricultural Murketing Service This capacity represented an increase or 65 million cubic ree~ since the 1953 survey and an increase of 102 million cubic feet over the reported capacity of October 1 1951 be 10-year growth from 1945 to 1955 was 167 milshylion cubic feet (fig 1 and table 2)

The long term upward trend in warehouse capacity became particularly pronouncshyed rollowine the start of lorld War II Increased demands for refrigerated space as a result of a war econo~ and the attendant development and growth or the frozen food industry during this period impinged significantly upon available space and broueht ll2tional warehouse occupancy rates to unsurpassed levels In the interest of rood conservation and in the futherance of our national defense efrort the warehousing industry expanded its capacity at a rate of a little more than 33 milshylion cubic feet per survey (every 2 years) during the 1945-1955 period Br comshyparison the annual rate of increase during the pre-llar period of 1931 to 1941 averaged 5 million cubic reet per survey

All regions shared but not equally in the capacity gains reported since 1953 The gains ranged from ll4000 cubic feet in the Mountain States to 20 milshylion on the West Coast The two areas reporth-g the largest gains the Pacific with 20 million and the South Atlantic with 15 million are ar~ in which are located extensive rrozen rood processing facilities

It is generally agreed that the significant increase in the output of rroshyzen foods particul3rly during the postwar period had a profound effect upon the development and growth or the refrigerated warehousing industry Much of the space in existence prior to (iorld vlar II was not constructed for frozen food starshyage and thererore was inadequate to provide the prescribed storage environment for the growing packs or frozen fruits vegetables juices and other frozen rood Production of frozen food which totaled less than 2 billion pounds in 1944 inshycreased a~ ~~ annual rate of almost 17 percent during the 1946-1954 postwar period To meet space requirements lor these products the warehousing industry started to convert existing cooler space which was becoming in surplus supply to freezer space They also embarked upon a construction program that added significantly to refrigerated space

The average increase of approximately 33 million cubic feet every bro years from 1945 to 1955 raised the national refrigerated storage capacity by 167 million cubic feet While this in itselpound was noteworthys for it represented a gain of 25 percent it did not rerlect the real change that occurred within the industry The impact or PQst-olar ractors on the warehousing industry resulted in the displaceshyment or cooler space in favor of freezer space and the decentralization or space to areas removed rrom traditional market centers The refrigerated capacity or the country is moving westward as a result and the difference between the cap8cishy~ in States west or the 11ississippi River and those e~st of it is gradually narshyrowing ApproJdmately 58 percent of the national capacity was in the eastern half of theASPM8tM1UWeJ9M 11 percent in 1947 55 percent in 1949 57 percent in 1951 56 pel copy UPDATA 1981 uP percent in 1955

Zero Space

In 1945 the relationship of national storage capacity capable of holding ()O F or lower to the capacity of higher temperatures was in the ratio of 1 to 5 That is for every 5 cubic feet o~ 1 cubic foot could hold ()O F or lower By 1955 for every 11 cubic feet of existing refrigerated space~ almost half 5 cubic feet could maintain temperatures of 00 F or below

Records covering the growth of zero space go back only as far as 1939 At that time only 87 million cubic feet were in operation but it grew to 135 million by October 1 1945 The 6-year growth was only 48 million cubic feet an average of 16 million each two-year period From 1945 to 1955 the industry added almost 242 million cubic feet which carried the national capacity to 347 million cubic feet The average gain during this period was approxbnately 48 million cubic feet each 2 years

Public Warehouses

In the early days of the warehousing industry meat packing plants provided sizeable refrigerated space for the storage of agricultural perishables in the extensive cooler storage facilities supporting their killing and storage operashytions At that time meat packers commo~ took in food products belonging to others for storage However most meat packers now confine their space to their Olom storage programs and it is not unusual for them to use public general space when their own space is filled to capacity

Public warehouse space including public apple houses is by far the preponshyderant type of space available in the nation About 799 plants were in operation on October 1 1955 having a collective storage capacity of 499 million cubic feet This was more than 60 percent of the total refIigerated space in the counshytry In addition more than hill of this space 282 million cubic feet could hold temperatures of CP F or lower Considering that there was only 377 million cubic feet of zero space in the country on October 1 1955 this segment of the industry has an important role in the storage of agricultural perishables and seJlliperishashybles Public space capable of holding 00 F is more than four times that of 1939 and almost 70 percent larger than in 1945

Private and Semiprivate Warehouses

The increase in warehouse capacity reported by pllolic warehousemen was more than matched by the growth in private and semiprivate space (including apple houses) bull This industry is fast becoming an important factor in the storage of frozen foods Their refrigerated space capable of holding 00 F or lOier increasshyed from 8 million cubic feet in 1939 to 74 million in 1955 Percentage-wise this represented an increase of more than 800 percent During the past 10 years 62 million cubic feet of zero space came into being as private and semiprivate space chiefly on the west coast and in the South Atlantic region in areas close to points of production In these regions the States showing the largest gains were Florida with 17 million and California with 9 million

REFRIGERATED WAREHOUSE CAPACITYJ BY REGIONS

The Pacific States led all other regions on October 1 1955 according to their gross refrigerated capaciV This region had applOximate~ 212 million cubic teet or 26 percent of the national total (table 3) In 1945 the Pacific States ranked tJrlrd with 124 million gross cubic feet of space Their relative share of the national storage capacity increased from 19 percent in 1945 to 26 pershycent in 1955

By contrast the rUddlc Atlantic States which held second ranking in 1955 with 153 million cubic feet have been unable to maintain their relative share of the namptional capaciV during the past 10 years The trend there is a declining one even though the total capacity has increased since 1945 At that time the Middle Atlantic capacity which totaled 146 million cubic feet and represented 23~ percent of the national total was the largest of the regions Its share dropped to 21 percent by 1951 to 20 per cent by 1953 and 19 percent by 1955

Another area that seems to be declining in relative importance is the East North Central region Its capacity on October 1 1955 totaled 147 million cubic feet which gave third ranking with 18 percent of the national total However in 1945 the area was second with 22 percent ()f the national total During the 1945shy1955 period the East North Central capacity increased less than 6 million cubic feet

The three ranking areas in 1955 accounted for 63 percent of all the r9fligershyated warehouse space in the country Since their share of the national total was bull about the same in 1945 it suggests that forces operating within industry are bringing about a realignment of space Traditionally the Middle Atlantic and East North Central States were the 2 leading storage areas on a capacity basis~ because of the development of space in metropolitan areas to serve vast urban popushylationa However as frozen foods became more acceptable and more and more frozen food products were introduced the need for CP F space in urban areas could only be accommodated by convertirig existing cooler space Construction of new space in these ~as was limited because of high land costs and with the trend toward sinshygle story wdts sizeable land tracts were needed

On the other hand by locating warehouses closer to points of production in areas removed from high land costs tracts were available for constructing considermiddot able storage capaciv in single story units in which greater use could be made of newq developed mechanical handling equipment In CalifOrnia for example 00 F space increased from less than 8 million cubic feet in 102 plants to 44 million in 218 plants from 1945 to 1955 By contrast in New York the State lith the largest capacity in the Middle Atlantic group zero space was increased only from 17 million to 32 million in the comparable period the number of plants increased from 260 w 314 Comparative figures for Illinois are as follows From 1945 to 1955 zero space increased from 21 to 36 million nwnber of plants decreased from 66 to 61

The South Atlantic region is another e1Cal1Ip1e of decentralization of space With the growth of citr-lS concentrate production there was an associated growth

of warehouse capacity In this region in 1945 o~middot 47 million cubic feet of space was in operation Of this amount onlJr 4 million could hold temperatures of ()O F or below The areas rank in the national picture at that time was fifth with 7 percent of the space Ten years later the area still ranked fifth but its capacity had increased to 96 million cubic feet which was 12 percent of the United States total Capacity of ()O F 0 space was up to 52 million cubic feet Almost all of this increase was the result of the construction of new warehouse space in Florida

Opound the remaining areas the West North Central ranked fourth in 1955 with 13 percent of the total national capacity or 104 m1l11on cubic feet Like the Middle Atlantic and East North Central regional the West North Central group has experishyenced a downward trend since 1945 Their share of the national total a decade ago was 17 percent and at that time 10 percentage points separated them from the fifth ranking region the South Atlantic TodayJ only 1 point separates the two The relative ranking of the New England West South Central East South Central and Mountain was the same in 1955 as in 1945 and ranked in the order named While the relative position of these 4 areas did not change they all added substantially to their capacity during the 1945-1955 period except the Mountain States There an increase of o~ 1 million cubic feet was reported

Zero Space

Almost half 1~6 percent of the refrigerated space in the country could hold temperatures of 00 F or below the 1955 survey showed compared with 21 percent in 1945 Of the national total opound 377 million cubic feet of zero space about oneshyfifth flas in the Pacific States This area which ranked first also had more zero space ~e~iW-iiqouses than aIY other region as well as more private and

semiprivate zero space Thusl for the first tlmel the Middle Atlantic group was displaced for the leadership in these classifications In 19451 the Pacific area had only 12 percent ot the zero space in the count1T only 11 percent ot the zero space in public genera1 facilities and less than 3 percent of the zero space in private and semiprivate warehouses

Only one other area could match the growth ot zero space on the West coast and that is the South Atlantic where the growth was even greater The South Atlantic capacity reported on October 11 19551 amounted to 52 million gross cubic feet or about 14 percent of the natioD81 total Only 10 years earlierl about 3 percent of the countrys total or 4 million cubic feet were within the States comprising this region The significant growth experienced in this area is directly associated with the expansion ot space needed to accommodate the citrus industry During the 1945-1955 periodl the capacity of zero space in public genera1 facilities in the region was increased by 28 million cubic feet while in private and semiprivate tacilities the increase totaled 19 million cubic feet See fig 2 for the distri shybution of zero space I by type of warehousel and fig~ 3 for regional distribution

From a national standpointl the capacity of space capable of holding temperashytures of CO F or below has changed considerably since 1945 but the rea1 change is in the geographic distribution of this space Capacity o zero space is increasshying in all areas but it is increasing at a more rapid rate in new centers of storshyagel notably in Floridal Washingtonl Oregon and California In 19551 abOut 45 percent of the national total was in 5 regions-50uth At1anticl East 8hd West South Centrall Mountain and Pacific In 1945 they accounted for onQr 23 percent ot the total This upward trend is at the expense of 4 regions-New Englandl Middle Atlanticl East and West North Centra1-tJhich are expEriencing a corresponding loss ot the national share In 1945 their combined capacity of zero space was equivashylent to 77 percent of the total compared with 55 percent in 1955

See tables 6 to 9 inclusivel for a regional breakdown of refrigerated storage capacity in meat packing plants and apple houses

Public General Warehouses y In 19551 the Middle Atlantic region was the most important in terms of public

general space Of the 464 million cubic feet of public space in the countryl 22 percent--lOl miliion cubic feet--was in Middle Atlantic States (table 4) This capacitV surpassed the next leading area East Northmiddot Central by- almost 8 million cubic feet Also there were more public general warehouces in the Middle Atlantic group than in ~ other--l41 plants

The first and second ranking areas with public general space~ddle Atlantic and East North Central-had cOlparatively the same capacity in 1955 as in 1945 and the same relative rank as then As a matter of factI the order of ranking Cor each region in 1955 was identical to the 1945 ranking which is as follows I starting with the third position Pacificl West North Central South Atlanticl West South Centrall New England East South Central and Mountain

While the relative rankings fer all regions did not change in the past 10 yearsl significant changes did take place in the relative shares of each region in the national total In the Middle Atlantic and East North Central areasa each had

epproximatelJr the same public general warehouse capacit) as in 1945 Be~ause of their preponderant warehotlSe capacity developed over a period of ~ years each held their relative rank in the national picture Butwhere the Middle Atlantic States accounted for 28 percent of the public space in 1945 only 22 pelCent of the total was in this area ~ 1955 In the East North Central States public genshyeral space dropped from 26 percent of the total in 1945 to 20 percent in 1955 It thus appears the two areas that have ranked first and second consistently for 10 years are steadily losing grolUld The capacity of space classified as public general is becoming larger nationally but apparently it is not increasing as rapidshyly in the Middle Atlantic and East North Central States as in other regions

For example in the third ranking area the Pacific ooast public general space increased from 14 percent of the national total to 17 percent during the 10 year period ended 1955 During the same period the relative share of the national public warehouse space located in West North Central States increased from 11 pershycent to 14 percent while in the South Atlantic area the increase was from 7 to 11 percent Lesser increases or no changeS were reported from the 4 remaining areas but each showed more public general space than in 1945

It is reasonable to conclude that the change in distribution of public general warehouse ~pace shows a trend on the part of public warehousemen to locate their plants away from traditional centers of storage The fact that the 8 States comshyprising the Middle Atlantic and East North Central regions have shown comparatively little change in public general warehouse capacity in 10 years is in contrast to the national increase of 112 million cubic feet during this period It is signifi shycant also that whereas these 2 regions formerly accounted for about 54 percent of all the public general space in the country in 1945 they account for only 42 percent in 1955

Private and Semi2rivate Gel~zal_W~~lt~s_~ JI Refrigerated storage space classified as private and semiprivate general is a

minor portion of the overall national capacity Of the total 813 million cubic feet only about 15 percent 121 million was private and semiprivate on October 1 1955 (tab1e 5)

This industry has increased in both number of plants and capacity and in every region in the past 10 years In 1945 the 343 private and semiprivate plants had a collective storage capacity of 40 million cubic feet By 1955 the munber had grown to ~33 plants with 121 million cubic feet of gross storage space

The largest gain was in the Pacific region Here private and semiprivate space was increased from 8 million in 1945 to 40 million by 1955 In the South Atlantic States meanwhile a building program that started after 1945 netted the area almost 22 million cubic feet of space in 10 years Private and semiprivate capacity in the area in 1945 amounted to a little more than 1 million cubic feet in the 15 plants located there whereas in 1955 almost 23 million cubic feet were in the area The nwnber of plants totaled 51

In order of ranking however the South Atlantic was third because more pri shyvate and semiprivate capacity was in the East North Central States But the difference between these two areas is fast narroying and only 1 nri Ilion cubic feet-shyseparatethemat this time compared with 8 million in 1953

REFRIGERATED STORAGE CAPACITY~ BY STATES

RefriGerated storage space is in eveTY State~ the 1955survey showed~ but the extent of availability varied signific~tl1among States Capacities ranged from less than 100000 cubic feet in WyoInink to 96 million in ~iashington See fig 5 for the changes in gross refrigerated space b1 States since 1953

Four States--Ilashington New York~ California~ and Illinois-had 42 percent of the national storage capacity (figc 4) Adding the next four leading StatesshyF1orlda~ Pennsylvania Michigan and New Jersey-increased the total to 5~ percent

Washington was by far theleading State with 96 million cubic feet (table 10) which included almost 70 million cubic feet of apple storage Nal York which ranked second had o~ 19 million cubic feet of apple house space

The emergence of Washington to the forefront is a recent development and is indicative of a trend in the Pacific area Traditional~ NerT York was the leader among States but the 1955 survey showed it had dropped to second position and even this ranking is in jeopardy because of the significant growth in California The total refrigerated capacity in New York totaled 895 million cubic feet on October 1 1955 while the California total was 888 million

From 1945 to 1955 warehOlle capacity in New York increased onlyen 4 million cubic feet hile in Illinois there was a reduction of 4 million The Illinois reduction would have been even greater had there not been an increase of 12 million cubic feet in private and semiprivate space to offset the 16 million cubic feet of space lost in public warehouses and meat packing plants during this period

In contrast to the relative stability of capacity in New York and Illinois the 10-year growth in Washington totaled 31 million cubic feet and in California 49 million The expansion in Washington was primari~ apple houses In Califorshynia the increase was mostly additions to public general and private and semishyprivate general space

Public General Warehouses

Although the overall storage capacity in New York has been relatively stable these ast 10 years public general space in the State was the largest reported by any State-58 million cubic feet California the next leading State had 49 milshylion followed by 46 million in Illinois (table II) These three States have alshymost one-tl-tird of the total public general space in the country From 1945 to 1955 Kansas and Florida each added about 13 million cubic feet to bring their puolic general capacity to 21 and 17 million cubic feet~ respectively Qnly New JerseY~ Pennsylvania~ Missouri~ and Texas ~ had more public general space than KansasJ which ranked 8th in the country

Private and Semiprivate General Warehouses

The distribution of private and semiprivate space (table 12) was quite differshyent from public general California was in the forefront with New York fourth behind Florida and Illinois California with 28 million cubic feet had almost as much as the second and third ranking States combined Floridas capacity at 18 million gross cubic feet was almost as large as the capacity in Illip~is and New York l1itilllrcIl~f_W~

Meat Packing Plants

Illinois Missouri and Iowa in the order named were the important cold storage States for the meat packing industry (table 13) Capacitywise they were about equal with a slight edge in favor of Illinois and collectivel3 they account- ed for 30 percent by the meat pacldng space in the country From 1945 to 1955 their capacity has been declining Some of this decrease is due to a reclassificashytion of storage space which excluded certain refrigerated space in later surveys and in part to an abandomnent of storage space in certain areas

Apple Hous

Two areas Pacific and l-1iddle Atlantic had the major share of apple storage space in the country Washington storages with 44 percent of the national tlttal and New York with 12 percent rank far ahead of all other States (table 14 1 and 16)

Next in order of importance were Virginia Michigan Oregon and California The six leading States with 83 percent of the available apple house capacity also accounted for 37 percent of the national space in the country capable of holding temperatures above 00 F bull

REFRIGERATED STORAGE CAPACITY BY CITlES v Chicago continues to maintalll its leadership aJllODg all cities as a center of

cold storage space The degree of concentration of space in the Chic~go metropolshyi tan area is given in table 11 along with the capacities of 23 other metropolitan areas in the country

Over 51 million gross cubic feet of space was in Chicago on Octobe~l 1955 about 10 million more than the second ranked city ~lew York Chicagos capacity was almost equal to the combined capacities found in Boston Detroit Kansas City Buffalo Minneapolis and St Paul In t1e order named these cities comprise the lower half of the 10 leading storage centers on a capacity basis

Los Angeles was in third position with almost 22 million cubic feet only about half as much as in Greater New York Ranking fourth and fifth with almost equal capacity was St Louis and Philadelphia respectively

Public General Warehouses

The greatest concentration of public general space was located in Greater New York the 1955 survey showed with Chicago second (table lB) New Yorks capacity amounted to 28 IILUlion cubic feet of usable piling space Chicago had 26 millionbull

Los Angeles with 10 million cubic feet of usable space was third followed by Philadelphia and St Louis each with approximately 9 million cubic feet These 5 cities with 82 million cubic feet of usable space comprised 14 percent of the national usable refrigerated capacity and 18 percent of all the ()O F space

The next 5 leading cities--Boston DetrOit Kansas City Dallas and Cleveshyland-had a usable piling capacity total of only 36 million cubic feet (fig 6)~

Meat PaCking Plants

Table 19 lists the refrigerated capacity of selected meat packing locations Chicago and St Louis were by far the leading areas followed by New York Los Angeles and Denver Only those cities haJing 3 or more plants and approximatelJ 1 million cubic feet of usable piling space are listed

4 Prior to 1955 warehouse capacities for each of the cities listed includshyed alI space within the city named and within a radius of 25 miles Begiluting with this survey cities are in each instance standard metropolitan areas which are urban centers containing at least one city of 50000 population or more and in cludefelau2trwa~~sely linked surrounding area

NATIONAL REFRIGERATED WAREHOUSE CAPACITY

Gross Space

On October 1 1955 the national gross refrigerated capacity amounted to 813 million cubic feet (table 1) according to reports received by the Agricultural Murketing Service This capacity represented an increase or 65 million cubic ree~ since the 1953 survey and an increase of 102 million cubic feet over the reported capacity of October 1 1951 be 10-year growth from 1945 to 1955 was 167 milshylion cubic feet (fig 1 and table 2)

The long term upward trend in warehouse capacity became particularly pronouncshyed rollowine the start of lorld War II Increased demands for refrigerated space as a result of a war econo~ and the attendant development and growth or the frozen food industry during this period impinged significantly upon available space and broueht ll2tional warehouse occupancy rates to unsurpassed levels In the interest of rood conservation and in the futherance of our national defense efrort the warehousing industry expanded its capacity at a rate of a little more than 33 milshylion cubic feet per survey (every 2 years) during the 1945-1955 period Br comshyparison the annual rate of increase during the pre-llar period of 1931 to 1941 averaged 5 million cubic reet per survey

All regions shared but not equally in the capacity gains reported since 1953 The gains ranged from ll4000 cubic feet in the Mountain States to 20 milshylion on the West Coast The two areas reporth-g the largest gains the Pacific with 20 million and the South Atlantic with 15 million are ar~ in which are located extensive rrozen rood processing facilities

It is generally agreed that the significant increase in the output of rroshyzen foods particul3rly during the postwar period had a profound effect upon the development and growth or the refrigerated warehousing industry Much of the space in existence prior to (iorld vlar II was not constructed for frozen food starshyage and thererore was inadequate to provide the prescribed storage environment for the growing packs or frozen fruits vegetables juices and other frozen rood Production of frozen food which totaled less than 2 billion pounds in 1944 inshycreased a~ ~~ annual rate of almost 17 percent during the 1946-1954 postwar period To meet space requirements lor these products the warehousing industry started to convert existing cooler space which was becoming in surplus supply to freezer space They also embarked upon a construction program that added significantly to refrigerated space

The average increase of approximately 33 million cubic feet every bro years from 1945 to 1955 raised the national refrigerated storage capacity by 167 million cubic feet While this in itselpound was noteworthys for it represented a gain of 25 percent it did not rerlect the real change that occurred within the industry The impact or PQst-olar ractors on the warehousing industry resulted in the displaceshyment or cooler space in favor of freezer space and the decentralization or space to areas removed rrom traditional market centers The refrigerated capacity or the country is moving westward as a result and the difference between the cap8cishy~ in States west or the 11ississippi River and those e~st of it is gradually narshyrowing ApproJdmately 58 percent of the national capacity was in the eastern half of theASPM8tM1UWeJ9M 11 percent in 1947 55 percent in 1949 57 percent in 1951 56 pel copy UPDATA 1981 uP percent in 1955

Zero Space

In 1945 the relationship of national storage capacity capable of holding ()O F or lower to the capacity of higher temperatures was in the ratio of 1 to 5 That is for every 5 cubic feet o~ 1 cubic foot could hold ()O F or lower By 1955 for every 11 cubic feet of existing refrigerated space~ almost half 5 cubic feet could maintain temperatures of 00 F or below

Records covering the growth of zero space go back only as far as 1939 At that time only 87 million cubic feet were in operation but it grew to 135 million by October 1 1945 The 6-year growth was only 48 million cubic feet an average of 16 million each two-year period From 1945 to 1955 the industry added almost 242 million cubic feet which carried the national capacity to 347 million cubic feet The average gain during this period was approxbnately 48 million cubic feet each 2 years

Public Warehouses

In the early days of the warehousing industry meat packing plants provided sizeable refrigerated space for the storage of agricultural perishables in the extensive cooler storage facilities supporting their killing and storage operashytions At that time meat packers commo~ took in food products belonging to others for storage However most meat packers now confine their space to their Olom storage programs and it is not unusual for them to use public general space when their own space is filled to capacity

Public warehouse space including public apple houses is by far the preponshyderant type of space available in the nation About 799 plants were in operation on October 1 1955 having a collective storage capacity of 499 million cubic feet This was more than 60 percent of the total refIigerated space in the counshytry In addition more than hill of this space 282 million cubic feet could hold temperatures of CP F or lower Considering that there was only 377 million cubic feet of zero space in the country on October 1 1955 this segment of the industry has an important role in the storage of agricultural perishables and seJlliperishashybles Public space capable of holding 00 F is more than four times that of 1939 and almost 70 percent larger than in 1945

Private and Semiprivate Warehouses

The increase in warehouse capacity reported by pllolic warehousemen was more than matched by the growth in private and semiprivate space (including apple houses) bull This industry is fast becoming an important factor in the storage of frozen foods Their refrigerated space capable of holding 00 F or lOier increasshyed from 8 million cubic feet in 1939 to 74 million in 1955 Percentage-wise this represented an increase of more than 800 percent During the past 10 years 62 million cubic feet of zero space came into being as private and semiprivate space chiefly on the west coast and in the South Atlantic region in areas close to points of production In these regions the States showing the largest gains were Florida with 17 million and California with 9 million

REFRIGERATED WAREHOUSE CAPACITYJ BY REGIONS

The Pacific States led all other regions on October 1 1955 according to their gross refrigerated capaciV This region had applOximate~ 212 million cubic teet or 26 percent of the national total (table 3) In 1945 the Pacific States ranked tJrlrd with 124 million gross cubic feet of space Their relative share of the national storage capacity increased from 19 percent in 1945 to 26 pershycent in 1955

By contrast the rUddlc Atlantic States which held second ranking in 1955 with 153 million cubic feet have been unable to maintain their relative share of the namptional capaciV during the past 10 years The trend there is a declining one even though the total capacity has increased since 1945 At that time the Middle Atlantic capacity which totaled 146 million cubic feet and represented 23~ percent of the national total was the largest of the regions Its share dropped to 21 percent by 1951 to 20 per cent by 1953 and 19 percent by 1955

Another area that seems to be declining in relative importance is the East North Central region Its capacity on October 1 1955 totaled 147 million cubic feet which gave third ranking with 18 percent of the national total However in 1945 the area was second with 22 percent ()f the national total During the 1945shy1955 period the East North Central capacity increased less than 6 million cubic feet

The three ranking areas in 1955 accounted for 63 percent of all the r9fligershyated warehouse space in the country Since their share of the national total was bull about the same in 1945 it suggests that forces operating within industry are bringing about a realignment of space Traditionally the Middle Atlantic and East North Central States were the 2 leading storage areas on a capacity basis~ because of the development of space in metropolitan areas to serve vast urban popushylationa However as frozen foods became more acceptable and more and more frozen food products were introduced the need for CP F space in urban areas could only be accommodated by convertirig existing cooler space Construction of new space in these ~as was limited because of high land costs and with the trend toward sinshygle story wdts sizeable land tracts were needed

On the other hand by locating warehouses closer to points of production in areas removed from high land costs tracts were available for constructing considermiddot able storage capaciv in single story units in which greater use could be made of newq developed mechanical handling equipment In CalifOrnia for example 00 F space increased from less than 8 million cubic feet in 102 plants to 44 million in 218 plants from 1945 to 1955 By contrast in New York the State lith the largest capacity in the Middle Atlantic group zero space was increased only from 17 million to 32 million in the comparable period the number of plants increased from 260 w 314 Comparative figures for Illinois are as follows From 1945 to 1955 zero space increased from 21 to 36 million nwnber of plants decreased from 66 to 61

The South Atlantic region is another e1Cal1Ip1e of decentralization of space With the growth of citr-lS concentrate production there was an associated growth

of warehouse capacity In this region in 1945 o~middot 47 million cubic feet of space was in operation Of this amount onlJr 4 million could hold temperatures of ()O F or below The areas rank in the national picture at that time was fifth with 7 percent of the space Ten years later the area still ranked fifth but its capacity had increased to 96 million cubic feet which was 12 percent of the United States total Capacity of ()O F 0 space was up to 52 million cubic feet Almost all of this increase was the result of the construction of new warehouse space in Florida

Opound the remaining areas the West North Central ranked fourth in 1955 with 13 percent of the total national capacity or 104 m1l11on cubic feet Like the Middle Atlantic and East North Central regional the West North Central group has experishyenced a downward trend since 1945 Their share of the national total a decade ago was 17 percent and at that time 10 percentage points separated them from the fifth ranking region the South Atlantic TodayJ only 1 point separates the two The relative ranking of the New England West South Central East South Central and Mountain was the same in 1955 as in 1945 and ranked in the order named While the relative position of these 4 areas did not change they all added substantially to their capacity during the 1945-1955 period except the Mountain States There an increase of o~ 1 million cubic feet was reported

Zero Space

Almost half 1~6 percent of the refrigerated space in the country could hold temperatures of 00 F or below the 1955 survey showed compared with 21 percent in 1945 Of the national total opound 377 million cubic feet of zero space about oneshyfifth flas in the Pacific States This area which ranked first also had more zero space ~e~iW-iiqouses than aIY other region as well as more private and

semiprivate zero space Thusl for the first tlmel the Middle Atlantic group was displaced for the leadership in these classifications In 19451 the Pacific area had only 12 percent ot the zero space in the count1T only 11 percent ot the zero space in public genera1 facilities and less than 3 percent of the zero space in private and semiprivate warehouses

Only one other area could match the growth ot zero space on the West coast and that is the South Atlantic where the growth was even greater The South Atlantic capacity reported on October 11 19551 amounted to 52 million gross cubic feet or about 14 percent of the natioD81 total Only 10 years earlierl about 3 percent of the countrys total or 4 million cubic feet were within the States comprising this region The significant growth experienced in this area is directly associated with the expansion ot space needed to accommodate the citrus industry During the 1945-1955 periodl the capacity of zero space in public genera1 facilities in the region was increased by 28 million cubic feet while in private and semiprivate tacilities the increase totaled 19 million cubic feet See fig 2 for the distri shybution of zero space I by type of warehousel and fig~ 3 for regional distribution

From a national standpointl the capacity of space capable of holding temperashytures of CO F or below has changed considerably since 1945 but the rea1 change is in the geographic distribution of this space Capacity o zero space is increasshying in all areas but it is increasing at a more rapid rate in new centers of storshyagel notably in Floridal Washingtonl Oregon and California In 19551 abOut 45 percent of the national total was in 5 regions-50uth At1anticl East 8hd West South Centrall Mountain and Pacific In 1945 they accounted for onQr 23 percent ot the total This upward trend is at the expense of 4 regions-New Englandl Middle Atlanticl East and West North Centra1-tJhich are expEriencing a corresponding loss ot the national share In 1945 their combined capacity of zero space was equivashylent to 77 percent of the total compared with 55 percent in 1955

See tables 6 to 9 inclusivel for a regional breakdown of refrigerated storage capacity in meat packing plants and apple houses

Public General Warehouses y In 19551 the Middle Atlantic region was the most important in terms of public

general space Of the 464 million cubic feet of public space in the countryl 22 percent--lOl miliion cubic feet--was in Middle Atlantic States (table 4) This capacitV surpassed the next leading area East Northmiddot Central by- almost 8 million cubic feet Also there were more public general warehouces in the Middle Atlantic group than in ~ other--l41 plants

epproximatelJr the same public general warehouse capacit) as in 1945 Be~ause of their preponderant warehotlSe capacity developed over a period of ~ years each held their relative rank in the national picture Butwhere the Middle Atlantic States accounted for 28 percent of the public space in 1945 only 22 pelCent of the total was in this area ~ 1955 In the East North Central States public genshyeral space dropped from 26 percent of the total in 1945 to 20 percent in 1955 It thus appears the two areas that have ranked first and second consistently for 10 years are steadily losing grolUld The capacity of space classified as public general is becoming larger nationally but apparently it is not increasing as rapidshyly in the Middle Atlantic and East North Central States as in other regions

For example in the third ranking area the Pacific ooast public general space increased from 14 percent of the national total to 17 percent during the 10 year period ended 1955 During the same period the relative share of the national public warehouse space located in West North Central States increased from 11 pershycent to 14 percent while in the South Atlantic area the increase was from 7 to 11 percent Lesser increases or no changeS were reported from the 4 remaining areas but each showed more public general space than in 1945

It is reasonable to conclude that the change in distribution of public general warehouse ~pace shows a trend on the part of public warehousemen to locate their plants away from traditional centers of storage The fact that the 8 States comshyprising the Middle Atlantic and East North Central regions have shown comparatively little change in public general warehouse capacity in 10 years is in contrast to the national increase of 112 million cubic feet during this period It is signifi shycant also that whereas these 2 regions formerly accounted for about 54 percent of all the public general space in the country in 1945 they account for only 42 percent in 1955

Private and Semi2rivate Gel~zal_W~~lt~s_~ JI Refrigerated storage space classified as private and semiprivate general is a

minor portion of the overall national capacity Of the total 813 million cubic feet only about 15 percent 121 million was private and semiprivate on October 1 1955 (tab1e 5)

This industry has increased in both number of plants and capacity and in every region in the past 10 years In 1945 the 343 private and semiprivate plants had a collective storage capacity of 40 million cubic feet By 1955 the munber had grown to ~33 plants with 121 million cubic feet of gross storage space

The largest gain was in the Pacific region Here private and semiprivate space was increased from 8 million in 1945 to 40 million by 1955 In the South Atlantic States meanwhile a building program that started after 1945 netted the area almost 22 million cubic feet of space in 10 years Private and semiprivate capacity in the area in 1945 amounted to a little more than 1 million cubic feet in the 15 plants located there whereas in 1955 almost 23 million cubic feet were in the area The nwnber of plants totaled 51

In order of ranking however the South Atlantic was third because more pri shyvate and semiprivate capacity was in the East North Central States But the difference between these two areas is fast narroying and only 1 nri Ilion cubic feet-shyseparatethemat this time compared with 8 million in 1953

REFRIGERATED STORAGE CAPACITY~ BY STATES

RefriGerated storage space is in eveTY State~ the 1955survey showed~ but the extent of availability varied signific~tl1among States Capacities ranged from less than 100000 cubic feet in WyoInink to 96 million in ~iashington See fig 5 for the changes in gross refrigerated space b1 States since 1953

Four States--Ilashington New York~ California~ and Illinois-had 42 percent of the national storage capacity (figc 4) Adding the next four leading StatesshyF1orlda~ Pennsylvania Michigan and New Jersey-increased the total to 5~ percent

Washington was by far theleading State with 96 million cubic feet (table 10) which included almost 70 million cubic feet of apple storage Nal York which ranked second had o~ 19 million cubic feet of apple house space

The emergence of Washington to the forefront is a recent development and is indicative of a trend in the Pacific area Traditional~ NerT York was the leader among States but the 1955 survey showed it had dropped to second position and even this ranking is in jeopardy because of the significant growth in California The total refrigerated capacity in New York totaled 895 million cubic feet on October 1 1955 while the California total was 888 million

From 1945 to 1955 warehOlle capacity in New York increased onlyen 4 million cubic feet hile in Illinois there was a reduction of 4 million The Illinois reduction would have been even greater had there not been an increase of 12 million cubic feet in private and semiprivate space to offset the 16 million cubic feet of space lost in public warehouses and meat packing plants during this period

In contrast to the relative stability of capacity in New York and Illinois the 10-year growth in Washington totaled 31 million cubic feet and in California 49 million The expansion in Washington was primari~ apple houses In Califorshynia the increase was mostly additions to public general and private and semishyprivate general space

Public General Warehouses

Although the overall storage capacity in New York has been relatively stable these ast 10 years public general space in the State was the largest reported by any State-58 million cubic feet California the next leading State had 49 milshylion followed by 46 million in Illinois (table II) These three States have alshymost one-tl-tird of the total public general space in the country From 1945 to 1955 Kansas and Florida each added about 13 million cubic feet to bring their puolic general capacity to 21 and 17 million cubic feet~ respectively Qnly New JerseY~ Pennsylvania~ Missouri~ and Texas ~ had more public general space than KansasJ which ranked 8th in the country

Private and Semiprivate General Warehouses

The distribution of private and semiprivate space (table 12) was quite differshyent from public general California was in the forefront with New York fourth behind Florida and Illinois California with 28 million cubic feet had almost as much as the second and third ranking States combined Floridas capacity at 18 million gross cubic feet was almost as large as the capacity in Illip~is and New York l1itilllrcIl~f_W~

Meat Packing Plants

Illinois Missouri and Iowa in the order named were the important cold storage States for the meat packing industry (table 13) Capacitywise they were about equal with a slight edge in favor of Illinois and collectivel3 they account- ed for 30 percent by the meat pacldng space in the country From 1945 to 1955 their capacity has been declining Some of this decrease is due to a reclassificashytion of storage space which excluded certain refrigerated space in later surveys and in part to an abandomnent of storage space in certain areas

Apple Hous

Two areas Pacific and l-1iddle Atlantic had the major share of apple storage space in the country Washington storages with 44 percent of the national tlttal and New York with 12 percent rank far ahead of all other States (table 14 1 and 16)

Next in order of importance were Virginia Michigan Oregon and California The six leading States with 83 percent of the available apple house capacity also accounted for 37 percent of the national space in the country capable of holding temperatures above 00 F bull

REFRIGERATED STORAGE CAPACITY BY CITlES v Chicago continues to maintalll its leadership aJllODg all cities as a center of

cold storage space The degree of concentration of space in the Chic~go metropolshyi tan area is given in table 11 along with the capacities of 23 other metropolitan areas in the country

Over 51 million gross cubic feet of space was in Chicago on Octobe~l 1955 about 10 million more than the second ranked city ~lew York Chicagos capacity was almost equal to the combined capacities found in Boston Detroit Kansas City Buffalo Minneapolis and St Paul In t1e order named these cities comprise the lower half of the 10 leading storage centers on a capacity basis

Los Angeles was in third position with almost 22 million cubic feet only about half as much as in Greater New York Ranking fourth and fifth with almost equal capacity was St Louis and Philadelphia respectively

Public General Warehouses

The greatest concentration of public general space was located in Greater New York the 1955 survey showed with Chicago second (table lB) New Yorks capacity amounted to 28 IILUlion cubic feet of usable piling space Chicago had 26 millionbull

Los Angeles with 10 million cubic feet of usable space was third followed by Philadelphia and St Louis each with approximately 9 million cubic feet These 5 cities with 82 million cubic feet of usable space comprised 14 percent of the national usable refrigerated capacity and 18 percent of all the ()O F space

The next 5 leading cities--Boston DetrOit Kansas City Dallas and Cleveshyland-had a usable piling capacity total of only 36 million cubic feet (fig 6)~

Meat PaCking Plants

Table 19 lists the refrigerated capacity of selected meat packing locations Chicago and St Louis were by far the leading areas followed by New York Los Angeles and Denver Only those cities haJing 3 or more plants and approximatelJ 1 million cubic feet of usable piling space are listed

4 Prior to 1955 warehouse capacities for each of the cities listed includshyed alI space within the city named and within a radius of 25 miles Begiluting with this survey cities are in each instance standard metropolitan areas which are urban centers containing at least one city of 50000 population or more and in cludefelau2trwa~~sely linked surrounding area

NATIONAL REFRIGERATED WAREHOUSE CAPACITY

Gross Space

On October 1 1955 the national gross refrigerated capacity amounted to 813 million cubic feet (table 1) according to reports received by the Agricultural Murketing Service This capacity represented an increase or 65 million cubic ree~ since the 1953 survey and an increase of 102 million cubic feet over the reported capacity of October 1 1951 be 10-year growth from 1945 to 1955 was 167 milshylion cubic feet (fig 1 and table 2)

The long term upward trend in warehouse capacity became particularly pronouncshyed rollowine the start of lorld War II Increased demands for refrigerated space as a result of a war econo~ and the attendant development and growth or the frozen food industry during this period impinged significantly upon available space and broueht ll2tional warehouse occupancy rates to unsurpassed levels In the interest of rood conservation and in the futherance of our national defense efrort the warehousing industry expanded its capacity at a rate of a little more than 33 milshylion cubic feet per survey (every 2 years) during the 1945-1955 period Br comshyparison the annual rate of increase during the pre-llar period of 1931 to 1941 averaged 5 million cubic reet per survey

All regions shared but not equally in the capacity gains reported since 1953 The gains ranged from ll4000 cubic feet in the Mountain States to 20 milshylion on the West Coast The two areas reporth-g the largest gains the Pacific with 20 million and the South Atlantic with 15 million are ar~ in which are located extensive rrozen rood processing facilities

It is generally agreed that the significant increase in the output of rroshyzen foods particul3rly during the postwar period had a profound effect upon the development and growth or the refrigerated warehousing industry Much of the space in existence prior to (iorld vlar II was not constructed for frozen food starshyage and thererore was inadequate to provide the prescribed storage environment for the growing packs or frozen fruits vegetables juices and other frozen rood Production of frozen food which totaled less than 2 billion pounds in 1944 inshycreased a~ ~~ annual rate of almost 17 percent during the 1946-1954 postwar period To meet space requirements lor these products the warehousing industry started to convert existing cooler space which was becoming in surplus supply to freezer space They also embarked upon a construction program that added significantly to refrigerated space

The average increase of approximately 33 million cubic feet every bro years from 1945 to 1955 raised the national refrigerated storage capacity by 167 million cubic feet While this in itselpound was noteworthys for it represented a gain of 25 percent it did not rerlect the real change that occurred within the industry The impact or PQst-olar ractors on the warehousing industry resulted in the displaceshyment or cooler space in favor of freezer space and the decentralization or space to areas removed rrom traditional market centers The refrigerated capacity or the country is moving westward as a result and the difference between the cap8cishy~ in States west or the 11ississippi River and those e~st of it is gradually narshyrowing ApproJdmately 58 percent of the national capacity was in the eastern half of theASPM8tM1UWeJ9M 11 percent in 1947 55 percent in 1949 57 percent in 1951 56 pel copy UPDATA 1981 uP percent in 1955

Zero Space

In 1945 the relationship of national storage capacity capable of holding ()O F or lower to the capacity of higher temperatures was in the ratio of 1 to 5 That is for every 5 cubic feet o~ 1 cubic foot could hold ()O F or lower By 1955 for every 11 cubic feet of existing refrigerated space~ almost half 5 cubic feet could maintain temperatures of 00 F or below

Records covering the growth of zero space go back only as far as 1939 At that time only 87 million cubic feet were in operation but it grew to 135 million by October 1 1945 The 6-year growth was only 48 million cubic feet an average of 16 million each two-year period From 1945 to 1955 the industry added almost 242 million cubic feet which carried the national capacity to 347 million cubic feet The average gain during this period was approxbnately 48 million cubic feet each 2 years

Public Warehouses

In the early days of the warehousing industry meat packing plants provided sizeable refrigerated space for the storage of agricultural perishables in the extensive cooler storage facilities supporting their killing and storage operashytions At that time meat packers commo~ took in food products belonging to others for storage However most meat packers now confine their space to their Olom storage programs and it is not unusual for them to use public general space when their own space is filled to capacity

Public warehouse space including public apple houses is by far the preponshyderant type of space available in the nation About 799 plants were in operation on October 1 1955 having a collective storage capacity of 499 million cubic feet This was more than 60 percent of the total refIigerated space in the counshytry In addition more than hill of this space 282 million cubic feet could hold temperatures of CP F or lower Considering that there was only 377 million cubic feet of zero space in the country on October 1 1955 this segment of the industry has an important role in the storage of agricultural perishables and seJlliperishashybles Public space capable of holding 00 F is more than four times that of 1939 and almost 70 percent larger than in 1945

Private and Semiprivate Warehouses

The increase in warehouse capacity reported by pllolic warehousemen was more than matched by the growth in private and semiprivate space (including apple houses) bull This industry is fast becoming an important factor in the storage of frozen foods Their refrigerated space capable of holding 00 F or lOier increasshyed from 8 million cubic feet in 1939 to 74 million in 1955 Percentage-wise this represented an increase of more than 800 percent During the past 10 years 62 million cubic feet of zero space came into being as private and semiprivate space chiefly on the west coast and in the South Atlantic region in areas close to points of production In these regions the States showing the largest gains were Florida with 17 million and California with 9 million

REFRIGERATED WAREHOUSE CAPACITYJ BY REGIONS

The Pacific States led all other regions on October 1 1955 according to their gross refrigerated capaciV This region had applOximate~ 212 million cubic teet or 26 percent of the national total (table 3) In 1945 the Pacific States ranked tJrlrd with 124 million gross cubic feet of space Their relative share of the national storage capacity increased from 19 percent in 1945 to 26 pershycent in 1955

By contrast the rUddlc Atlantic States which held second ranking in 1955 with 153 million cubic feet have been unable to maintain their relative share of the namptional capaciV during the past 10 years The trend there is a declining one even though the total capacity has increased since 1945 At that time the Middle Atlantic capacity which totaled 146 million cubic feet and represented 23~ percent of the national total was the largest of the regions Its share dropped to 21 percent by 1951 to 20 per cent by 1953 and 19 percent by 1955

Another area that seems to be declining in relative importance is the East North Central region Its capacity on October 1 1955 totaled 147 million cubic feet which gave third ranking with 18 percent of the national total However in 1945 the area was second with 22 percent ()f the national total During the 1945shy1955 period the East North Central capacity increased less than 6 million cubic feet

The three ranking areas in 1955 accounted for 63 percent of all the r9fligershyated warehouse space in the country Since their share of the national total was bull about the same in 1945 it suggests that forces operating within industry are bringing about a realignment of space Traditionally the Middle Atlantic and East North Central States were the 2 leading storage areas on a capacity basis~ because of the development of space in metropolitan areas to serve vast urban popushylationa However as frozen foods became more acceptable and more and more frozen food products were introduced the need for CP F space in urban areas could only be accommodated by convertirig existing cooler space Construction of new space in these ~as was limited because of high land costs and with the trend toward sinshygle story wdts sizeable land tracts were needed

On the other hand by locating warehouses closer to points of production in areas removed from high land costs tracts were available for constructing considermiddot able storage capaciv in single story units in which greater use could be made of newq developed mechanical handling equipment In CalifOrnia for example 00 F space increased from less than 8 million cubic feet in 102 plants to 44 million in 218 plants from 1945 to 1955 By contrast in New York the State lith the largest capacity in the Middle Atlantic group zero space was increased only from 17 million to 32 million in the comparable period the number of plants increased from 260 w 314 Comparative figures for Illinois are as follows From 1945 to 1955 zero space increased from 21 to 36 million nwnber of plants decreased from 66 to 61

The South Atlantic region is another e1Cal1Ip1e of decentralization of space With the growth of citr-lS concentrate production there was an associated growth

of warehouse capacity In this region in 1945 o~middot 47 million cubic feet of space was in operation Of this amount onlJr 4 million could hold temperatures of ()O F or below The areas rank in the national picture at that time was fifth with 7 percent of the space Ten years later the area still ranked fifth but its capacity had increased to 96 million cubic feet which was 12 percent of the United States total Capacity of ()O F 0 space was up to 52 million cubic feet Almost all of this increase was the result of the construction of new warehouse space in Florida

Opound the remaining areas the West North Central ranked fourth in 1955 with 13 percent of the total national capacity or 104 m1l11on cubic feet Like the Middle Atlantic and East North Central regional the West North Central group has experishyenced a downward trend since 1945 Their share of the national total a decade ago was 17 percent and at that time 10 percentage points separated them from the fifth ranking region the South Atlantic TodayJ only 1 point separates the two The relative ranking of the New England West South Central East South Central and Mountain was the same in 1955 as in 1945 and ranked in the order named While the relative position of these 4 areas did not change they all added substantially to their capacity during the 1945-1955 period except the Mountain States There an increase of o~ 1 million cubic feet was reported

semiprivate zero space Thusl for the first tlmel the Middle Atlantic group was displaced for the leadership in these classifications In 19451 the Pacific area had only 12 percent ot the zero space in the count1T only 11 percent ot the zero space in public genera1 facilities and less than 3 percent of the zero space in private and semiprivate warehouses

Only one other area could match the growth ot zero space on the West coast and that is the South Atlantic where the growth was even greater The South Atlantic capacity reported on October 11 19551 amounted to 52 million gross cubic feet or about 14 percent of the natioD81 total Only 10 years earlierl about 3 percent of the countrys total or 4 million cubic feet were within the States comprising this region The significant growth experienced in this area is directly associated with the expansion ot space needed to accommodate the citrus industry During the 1945-1955 periodl the capacity of zero space in public genera1 facilities in the region was increased by 28 million cubic feet while in private and semiprivate tacilities the increase totaled 19 million cubic feet See fig 2 for the distri shybution of zero space I by type of warehousel and fig~ 3 for regional distribution

From a national standpointl the capacity of space capable of holding temperashytures of CO F or below has changed considerably since 1945 but the rea1 change is in the geographic distribution of this space Capacity o zero space is increasshying in all areas but it is increasing at a more rapid rate in new centers of storshyagel notably in Floridal Washingtonl Oregon and California In 19551 abOut 45 percent of the national total was in 5 regions-50uth At1anticl East 8hd West South Centrall Mountain and Pacific In 1945 they accounted for onQr 23 percent ot the total This upward trend is at the expense of 4 regions-New Englandl Middle Atlanticl East and West North Centra1-tJhich are expEriencing a corresponding loss ot the national share In 1945 their combined capacity of zero space was equivashylent to 77 percent of the total compared with 55 percent in 1955

See tables 6 to 9 inclusivel for a regional breakdown of refrigerated storage capacity in meat packing plants and apple houses

Public General Warehouses y In 19551 the Middle Atlantic region was the most important in terms of public

general space Of the 464 million cubic feet of public space in the countryl 22 percent--lOl miliion cubic feet--was in Middle Atlantic States (table 4) This capacitV surpassed the next leading area East Northmiddot Central by- almost 8 million cubic feet Also there were more public general warehouces in the Middle Atlantic group than in ~ other--l41 plants

The first and second ranking areas with public general space~ddle Atlantic and East North Central-had cOlparatively the same capacity in 1955 as in 1945 and the same relative rank as then As a matter of factI the order of ranking Cor each region in 1955 was identical to the 1945 ranking which is as follows I starting with the third position Pacificl West North Central South Atlanticl West South Centrall New England East South Central and Mountain

epproximatelJr the same public general warehouse capacit) as in 1945 Be~ause of their preponderant warehotlSe capacity developed over a period of ~ years each held their relative rank in the national picture Butwhere the Middle Atlantic States accounted for 28 percent of the public space in 1945 only 22 pelCent of the total was in this area ~ 1955 In the East North Central States public genshyeral space dropped from 26 percent of the total in 1945 to 20 percent in 1955 It thus appears the two areas that have ranked first and second consistently for 10 years are steadily losing grolUld The capacity of space classified as public general is becoming larger nationally but apparently it is not increasing as rapidshyly in the Middle Atlantic and East North Central States as in other regions

For example in the third ranking area the Pacific ooast public general space increased from 14 percent of the national total to 17 percent during the 10 year period ended 1955 During the same period the relative share of the national public warehouse space located in West North Central States increased from 11 pershycent to 14 percent while in the South Atlantic area the increase was from 7 to 11 percent Lesser increases or no changeS were reported from the 4 remaining areas but each showed more public general space than in 1945

It is reasonable to conclude that the change in distribution of public general warehouse ~pace shows a trend on the part of public warehousemen to locate their plants away from traditional centers of storage The fact that the 8 States comshyprising the Middle Atlantic and East North Central regions have shown comparatively little change in public general warehouse capacity in 10 years is in contrast to the national increase of 112 million cubic feet during this period It is signifi shycant also that whereas these 2 regions formerly accounted for about 54 percent of all the public general space in the country in 1945 they account for only 42 percent in 1955

Private and Semi2rivate Gel~zal_W~~lt~s_~ JI Refrigerated storage space classified as private and semiprivate general is a

minor portion of the overall national capacity Of the total 813 million cubic feet only about 15 percent 121 million was private and semiprivate on October 1 1955 (tab1e 5)

This industry has increased in both number of plants and capacity and in every region in the past 10 years In 1945 the 343 private and semiprivate plants had a collective storage capacity of 40 million cubic feet By 1955 the munber had grown to ~33 plants with 121 million cubic feet of gross storage space

The largest gain was in the Pacific region Here private and semiprivate space was increased from 8 million in 1945 to 40 million by 1955 In the South Atlantic States meanwhile a building program that started after 1945 netted the area almost 22 million cubic feet of space in 10 years Private and semiprivate capacity in the area in 1945 amounted to a little more than 1 million cubic feet in the 15 plants located there whereas in 1955 almost 23 million cubic feet were in the area The nwnber of plants totaled 51

In order of ranking however the South Atlantic was third because more pri shyvate and semiprivate capacity was in the East North Central States But the difference between these two areas is fast narroying and only 1 nri Ilion cubic feet-shyseparatethemat this time compared with 8 million in 1953

REFRIGERATED STORAGE CAPACITY~ BY STATES

RefriGerated storage space is in eveTY State~ the 1955survey showed~ but the extent of availability varied signific~tl1among States Capacities ranged from less than 100000 cubic feet in WyoInink to 96 million in ~iashington See fig 5 for the changes in gross refrigerated space b1 States since 1953

Four States--Ilashington New York~ California~ and Illinois-had 42 percent of the national storage capacity (figc 4) Adding the next four leading StatesshyF1orlda~ Pennsylvania Michigan and New Jersey-increased the total to 5~ percent

Washington was by far theleading State with 96 million cubic feet (table 10) which included almost 70 million cubic feet of apple storage Nal York which ranked second had o~ 19 million cubic feet of apple house space

The emergence of Washington to the forefront is a recent development and is indicative of a trend in the Pacific area Traditional~ NerT York was the leader among States but the 1955 survey showed it had dropped to second position and even this ranking is in jeopardy because of the significant growth in California The total refrigerated capacity in New York totaled 895 million cubic feet on October 1 1955 while the California total was 888 million

From 1945 to 1955 warehOlle capacity in New York increased onlyen 4 million cubic feet hile in Illinois there was a reduction of 4 million The Illinois reduction would have been even greater had there not been an increase of 12 million cubic feet in private and semiprivate space to offset the 16 million cubic feet of space lost in public warehouses and meat packing plants during this period

In contrast to the relative stability of capacity in New York and Illinois the 10-year growth in Washington totaled 31 million cubic feet and in California 49 million The expansion in Washington was primari~ apple houses In Califorshynia the increase was mostly additions to public general and private and semishyprivate general space

Public General Warehouses

Although the overall storage capacity in New York has been relatively stable these ast 10 years public general space in the State was the largest reported by any State-58 million cubic feet California the next leading State had 49 milshylion followed by 46 million in Illinois (table II) These three States have alshymost one-tl-tird of the total public general space in the country From 1945 to 1955 Kansas and Florida each added about 13 million cubic feet to bring their puolic general capacity to 21 and 17 million cubic feet~ respectively Qnly New JerseY~ Pennsylvania~ Missouri~ and Texas ~ had more public general space than KansasJ which ranked 8th in the country

Private and Semiprivate General Warehouses

The distribution of private and semiprivate space (table 12) was quite differshyent from public general California was in the forefront with New York fourth behind Florida and Illinois California with 28 million cubic feet had almost as much as the second and third ranking States combined Floridas capacity at 18 million gross cubic feet was almost as large as the capacity in Illip~is and New York l1itilllrcIl~f_W~

Meat Packing Plants

Illinois Missouri and Iowa in the order named were the important cold storage States for the meat packing industry (table 13) Capacitywise they were about equal with a slight edge in favor of Illinois and collectivel3 they account- ed for 30 percent by the meat pacldng space in the country From 1945 to 1955 their capacity has been declining Some of this decrease is due to a reclassificashytion of storage space which excluded certain refrigerated space in later surveys and in part to an abandomnent of storage space in certain areas

Apple Hous

Two areas Pacific and l-1iddle Atlantic had the major share of apple storage space in the country Washington storages with 44 percent of the national tlttal and New York with 12 percent rank far ahead of all other States (table 14 1 and 16)

Next in order of importance were Virginia Michigan Oregon and California The six leading States with 83 percent of the available apple house capacity also accounted for 37 percent of the national space in the country capable of holding temperatures above 00 F bull

REFRIGERATED STORAGE CAPACITY BY CITlES v Chicago continues to maintalll its leadership aJllODg all cities as a center of

cold storage space The degree of concentration of space in the Chic~go metropolshyi tan area is given in table 11 along with the capacities of 23 other metropolitan areas in the country

Over 51 million gross cubic feet of space was in Chicago on Octobe~l 1955 about 10 million more than the second ranked city ~lew York Chicagos capacity was almost equal to the combined capacities found in Boston Detroit Kansas City Buffalo Minneapolis and St Paul In t1e order named these cities comprise the lower half of the 10 leading storage centers on a capacity basis

Los Angeles was in third position with almost 22 million cubic feet only about half as much as in Greater New York Ranking fourth and fifth with almost equal capacity was St Louis and Philadelphia respectively

Zero Space

In 1945 the relationship of national storage capacity capable of holding ()O F or lower to the capacity of higher temperatures was in the ratio of 1 to 5 That is for every 5 cubic feet o~ 1 cubic foot could hold ()O F or lower By 1955 for every 11 cubic feet of existing refrigerated space~ almost half 5 cubic feet could maintain temperatures of 00 F or below

Records covering the growth of zero space go back only as far as 1939 At that time only 87 million cubic feet were in operation but it grew to 135 million by October 1 1945 The 6-year growth was only 48 million cubic feet an average of 16 million each two-year period From 1945 to 1955 the industry added almost 242 million cubic feet which carried the national capacity to 347 million cubic feet The average gain during this period was approxbnately 48 million cubic feet each 2 years

Public Warehouses

In the early days of the warehousing industry meat packing plants provided sizeable refrigerated space for the storage of agricultural perishables in the extensive cooler storage facilities supporting their killing and storage operashytions At that time meat packers commo~ took in food products belonging to others for storage However most meat packers now confine their space to their Olom storage programs and it is not unusual for them to use public general space when their own space is filled to capacity

Public warehouse space including public apple houses is by far the preponshyderant type of space available in the nation About 799 plants were in operation on October 1 1955 having a collective storage capacity of 499 million cubic feet This was more than 60 percent of the total refIigerated space in the counshytry In addition more than hill of this space 282 million cubic feet could hold temperatures of CP F or lower Considering that there was only 377 million cubic feet of zero space in the country on October 1 1955 this segment of the industry has an important role in the storage of agricultural perishables and seJlliperishashybles Public space capable of holding 00 F is more than four times that of 1939 and almost 70 percent larger than in 1945

Private and Semiprivate Warehouses

The increase in warehouse capacity reported by pllolic warehousemen was more than matched by the growth in private and semiprivate space (including apple houses) bull This industry is fast becoming an important factor in the storage of frozen foods Their refrigerated space capable of holding 00 F or lOier increasshyed from 8 million cubic feet in 1939 to 74 million in 1955 Percentage-wise this represented an increase of more than 800 percent During the past 10 years 62 million cubic feet of zero space came into being as private and semiprivate space chiefly on the west coast and in the South Atlantic region in areas close to points of production In these regions the States showing the largest gains were Florida with 17 million and California with 9 million

REFRIGERATED WAREHOUSE CAPACITYJ BY REGIONS

The Pacific States led all other regions on October 1 1955 according to their gross refrigerated capaciV This region had applOximate~ 212 million cubic teet or 26 percent of the national total (table 3) In 1945 the Pacific States ranked tJrlrd with 124 million gross cubic feet of space Their relative share of the national storage capacity increased from 19 percent in 1945 to 26 pershycent in 1955

By contrast the rUddlc Atlantic States which held second ranking in 1955 with 153 million cubic feet have been unable to maintain their relative share of the namptional capaciV during the past 10 years The trend there is a declining one even though the total capacity has increased since 1945 At that time the Middle Atlantic capacity which totaled 146 million cubic feet and represented 23~ percent of the national total was the largest of the regions Its share dropped to 21 percent by 1951 to 20 per cent by 1953 and 19 percent by 1955

Another area that seems to be declining in relative importance is the East North Central region Its capacity on October 1 1955 totaled 147 million cubic feet which gave third ranking with 18 percent of the national total However in 1945 the area was second with 22 percent ()f the national total During the 1945shy1955 period the East North Central capacity increased less than 6 million cubic feet

The three ranking areas in 1955 accounted for 63 percent of all the r9fligershyated warehouse space in the country Since their share of the national total was bull about the same in 1945 it suggests that forces operating within industry are bringing about a realignment of space Traditionally the Middle Atlantic and East North Central States were the 2 leading storage areas on a capacity basis~ because of the development of space in metropolitan areas to serve vast urban popushylationa However as frozen foods became more acceptable and more and more frozen food products were introduced the need for CP F space in urban areas could only be accommodated by convertirig existing cooler space Construction of new space in these ~as was limited because of high land costs and with the trend toward sinshygle story wdts sizeable land tracts were needed

On the other hand by locating warehouses closer to points of production in areas removed from high land costs tracts were available for constructing considermiddot able storage capaciv in single story units in which greater use could be made of newq developed mechanical handling equipment In CalifOrnia for example 00 F space increased from less than 8 million cubic feet in 102 plants to 44 million in 218 plants from 1945 to 1955 By contrast in New York the State lith the largest capacity in the Middle Atlantic group zero space was increased only from 17 million to 32 million in the comparable period the number of plants increased from 260 w 314 Comparative figures for Illinois are as follows From 1945 to 1955 zero space increased from 21 to 36 million nwnber of plants decreased from 66 to 61

The South Atlantic region is another e1Cal1Ip1e of decentralization of space With the growth of citr-lS concentrate production there was an associated growth

of warehouse capacity In this region in 1945 o~middot 47 million cubic feet of space was in operation Of this amount onlJr 4 million could hold temperatures of ()O F or below The areas rank in the national picture at that time was fifth with 7 percent of the space Ten years later the area still ranked fifth but its capacity had increased to 96 million cubic feet which was 12 percent of the United States total Capacity of ()O F 0 space was up to 52 million cubic feet Almost all of this increase was the result of the construction of new warehouse space in Florida

Opound the remaining areas the West North Central ranked fourth in 1955 with 13 percent of the total national capacity or 104 m1l11on cubic feet Like the Middle Atlantic and East North Central regional the West North Central group has experishyenced a downward trend since 1945 Their share of the national total a decade ago was 17 percent and at that time 10 percentage points separated them from the fifth ranking region the South Atlantic TodayJ only 1 point separates the two The relative ranking of the New England West South Central East South Central and Mountain was the same in 1955 as in 1945 and ranked in the order named While the relative position of these 4 areas did not change they all added substantially to their capacity during the 1945-1955 period except the Mountain States There an increase of o~ 1 million cubic feet was reported

Zero Space

Almost half 1~6 percent of the refrigerated space in the country could hold temperatures of 00 F or below the 1955 survey showed compared with 21 percent in 1945 Of the national total opound 377 million cubic feet of zero space about oneshyfifth flas in the Pacific States This area which ranked first also had more zero space ~e~iW-iiqouses than aIY other region as well as more private and

semiprivate zero space Thusl for the first tlmel the Middle Atlantic group was displaced for the leadership in these classifications In 19451 the Pacific area had only 12 percent ot the zero space in the count1T only 11 percent ot the zero space in public genera1 facilities and less than 3 percent of the zero space in private and semiprivate warehouses

Only one other area could match the growth ot zero space on the West coast and that is the South Atlantic where the growth was even greater The South Atlantic capacity reported on October 11 19551 amounted to 52 million gross cubic feet or about 14 percent of the natioD81 total Only 10 years earlierl about 3 percent of the countrys total or 4 million cubic feet were within the States comprising this region The significant growth experienced in this area is directly associated with the expansion ot space needed to accommodate the citrus industry During the 1945-1955 periodl the capacity of zero space in public genera1 facilities in the region was increased by 28 million cubic feet while in private and semiprivate tacilities the increase totaled 19 million cubic feet See fig 2 for the distri shybution of zero space I by type of warehousel and fig~ 3 for regional distribution

From a national standpointl the capacity of space capable of holding temperashytures of CO F or below has changed considerably since 1945 but the rea1 change is in the geographic distribution of this space Capacity o zero space is increasshying in all areas but it is increasing at a more rapid rate in new centers of storshyagel notably in Floridal Washingtonl Oregon and California In 19551 abOut 45 percent of the national total was in 5 regions-50uth At1anticl East 8hd West South Centrall Mountain and Pacific In 1945 they accounted for onQr 23 percent ot the total This upward trend is at the expense of 4 regions-New Englandl Middle Atlanticl East and West North Centra1-tJhich are expEriencing a corresponding loss ot the national share In 1945 their combined capacity of zero space was equivashylent to 77 percent of the total compared with 55 percent in 1955

See tables 6 to 9 inclusivel for a regional breakdown of refrigerated storage capacity in meat packing plants and apple houses

Public General Warehouses y In 19551 the Middle Atlantic region was the most important in terms of public

general space Of the 464 million cubic feet of public space in the countryl 22 percent--lOl miliion cubic feet--was in Middle Atlantic States (table 4) This capacitV surpassed the next leading area East Northmiddot Central by- almost 8 million cubic feet Also there were more public general warehouces in the Middle Atlantic group than in ~ other--l41 plants

The first and second ranking areas with public general space~ddle Atlantic and East North Central-had cOlparatively the same capacity in 1955 as in 1945 and the same relative rank as then As a matter of factI the order of ranking Cor each region in 1955 was identical to the 1945 ranking which is as follows I starting with the third position Pacificl West North Central South Atlanticl West South Centrall New England East South Central and Mountain

epproximatelJr the same public general warehouse capacit) as in 1945 Be~ause of their preponderant warehotlSe capacity developed over a period of ~ years each held their relative rank in the national picture Butwhere the Middle Atlantic States accounted for 28 percent of the public space in 1945 only 22 pelCent of the total was in this area ~ 1955 In the East North Central States public genshyeral space dropped from 26 percent of the total in 1945 to 20 percent in 1955 It thus appears the two areas that have ranked first and second consistently for 10 years are steadily losing grolUld The capacity of space classified as public general is becoming larger nationally but apparently it is not increasing as rapidshyly in the Middle Atlantic and East North Central States as in other regions

For example in the third ranking area the Pacific ooast public general space increased from 14 percent of the national total to 17 percent during the 10 year period ended 1955 During the same period the relative share of the national public warehouse space located in West North Central States increased from 11 pershycent to 14 percent while in the South Atlantic area the increase was from 7 to 11 percent Lesser increases or no changeS were reported from the 4 remaining areas but each showed more public general space than in 1945

It is reasonable to conclude that the change in distribution of public general warehouse ~pace shows a trend on the part of public warehousemen to locate their plants away from traditional centers of storage The fact that the 8 States comshyprising the Middle Atlantic and East North Central regions have shown comparatively little change in public general warehouse capacity in 10 years is in contrast to the national increase of 112 million cubic feet during this period It is signifi shycant also that whereas these 2 regions formerly accounted for about 54 percent of all the public general space in the country in 1945 they account for only 42 percent in 1955

Private and Semi2rivate Gel~zal_W~~lt~s_~ JI Refrigerated storage space classified as private and semiprivate general is a

minor portion of the overall national capacity Of the total 813 million cubic feet only about 15 percent 121 million was private and semiprivate on October 1 1955 (tab1e 5)

This industry has increased in both number of plants and capacity and in every region in the past 10 years In 1945 the 343 private and semiprivate plants had a collective storage capacity of 40 million cubic feet By 1955 the munber had grown to ~33 plants with 121 million cubic feet of gross storage space

The largest gain was in the Pacific region Here private and semiprivate space was increased from 8 million in 1945 to 40 million by 1955 In the South Atlantic States meanwhile a building program that started after 1945 netted the area almost 22 million cubic feet of space in 10 years Private and semiprivate capacity in the area in 1945 amounted to a little more than 1 million cubic feet in the 15 plants located there whereas in 1955 almost 23 million cubic feet were in the area The nwnber of plants totaled 51

In order of ranking however the South Atlantic was third because more pri shyvate and semiprivate capacity was in the East North Central States But the difference between these two areas is fast narroying and only 1 nri Ilion cubic feet-shyseparatethemat this time compared with 8 million in 1953

REFRIGERATED STORAGE CAPACITY~ BY STATES

RefriGerated storage space is in eveTY State~ the 1955survey showed~ but the extent of availability varied signific~tl1among States Capacities ranged from less than 100000 cubic feet in WyoInink to 96 million in ~iashington See fig 5 for the changes in gross refrigerated space b1 States since 1953

Four States--Ilashington New York~ California~ and Illinois-had 42 percent of the national storage capacity (figc 4) Adding the next four leading StatesshyF1orlda~ Pennsylvania Michigan and New Jersey-increased the total to 5~ percent

Washington was by far theleading State with 96 million cubic feet (table 10) which included almost 70 million cubic feet of apple storage Nal York which ranked second had o~ 19 million cubic feet of apple house space

The emergence of Washington to the forefront is a recent development and is indicative of a trend in the Pacific area Traditional~ NerT York was the leader among States but the 1955 survey showed it had dropped to second position and even this ranking is in jeopardy because of the significant growth in California The total refrigerated capacity in New York totaled 895 million cubic feet on October 1 1955 while the California total was 888 million

From 1945 to 1955 warehOlle capacity in New York increased onlyen 4 million cubic feet hile in Illinois there was a reduction of 4 million The Illinois reduction would have been even greater had there not been an increase of 12 million cubic feet in private and semiprivate space to offset the 16 million cubic feet of space lost in public warehouses and meat packing plants during this period

In contrast to the relative stability of capacity in New York and Illinois the 10-year growth in Washington totaled 31 million cubic feet and in California 49 million The expansion in Washington was primari~ apple houses In Califorshynia the increase was mostly additions to public general and private and semishyprivate general space

Public General Warehouses

Although the overall storage capacity in New York has been relatively stable these ast 10 years public general space in the State was the largest reported by any State-58 million cubic feet California the next leading State had 49 milshylion followed by 46 million in Illinois (table II) These three States have alshymost one-tl-tird of the total public general space in the country From 1945 to 1955 Kansas and Florida each added about 13 million cubic feet to bring their puolic general capacity to 21 and 17 million cubic feet~ respectively Qnly New JerseY~ Pennsylvania~ Missouri~ and Texas ~ had more public general space than KansasJ which ranked 8th in the country

Private and Semiprivate General Warehouses

The distribution of private and semiprivate space (table 12) was quite differshyent from public general California was in the forefront with New York fourth behind Florida and Illinois California with 28 million cubic feet had almost as much as the second and third ranking States combined Floridas capacity at 18 million gross cubic feet was almost as large as the capacity in Illip~is and New York l1itilllrcIl~f_W~

Meat Packing Plants

Illinois Missouri and Iowa in the order named were the important cold storage States for the meat packing industry (table 13) Capacitywise they were about equal with a slight edge in favor of Illinois and collectivel3 they account- ed for 30 percent by the meat pacldng space in the country From 1945 to 1955 their capacity has been declining Some of this decrease is due to a reclassificashytion of storage space which excluded certain refrigerated space in later surveys and in part to an abandomnent of storage space in certain areas

Apple Hous

Two areas Pacific and l-1iddle Atlantic had the major share of apple storage space in the country Washington storages with 44 percent of the national tlttal and New York with 12 percent rank far ahead of all other States (table 14 1 and 16)

Next in order of importance were Virginia Michigan Oregon and California The six leading States with 83 percent of the available apple house capacity also accounted for 37 percent of the national space in the country capable of holding temperatures above 00 F bull

REFRIGERATED STORAGE CAPACITY BY CITlES v Chicago continues to maintalll its leadership aJllODg all cities as a center of

cold storage space The degree of concentration of space in the Chic~go metropolshyi tan area is given in table 11 along with the capacities of 23 other metropolitan areas in the country

Over 51 million gross cubic feet of space was in Chicago on Octobe~l 1955 about 10 million more than the second ranked city ~lew York Chicagos capacity was almost equal to the combined capacities found in Boston Detroit Kansas City Buffalo Minneapolis and St Paul In t1e order named these cities comprise the lower half of the 10 leading storage centers on a capacity basis

Los Angeles was in third position with almost 22 million cubic feet only about half as much as in Greater New York Ranking fourth and fifth with almost equal capacity was St Louis and Philadelphia respectively

Public General Warehouses

The greatest concentration of public general space was located in Greater New York the 1955 survey showed with Chicago second (table lB) New Yorks capacity amounted to 28 IILUlion cubic feet of usable piling space Chicago had 26 millionbull

Los Angeles with 10 million cubic feet of usable space was third followed by Philadelphia and St Louis each with approximately 9 million cubic feet These 5 cities with 82 million cubic feet of usable space comprised 14 percent of the national usable refrigerated capacity and 18 percent of all the ()O F space

The next 5 leading cities--Boston DetrOit Kansas City Dallas and Cleveshyland-had a usable piling capacity total of only 36 million cubic feet (fig 6)~

Meat PaCking Plants

Table 19 lists the refrigerated capacity of selected meat packing locations Chicago and St Louis were by far the leading areas followed by New York Los Angeles and Denver Only those cities haJing 3 or more plants and approximatelJ 1 million cubic feet of usable piling space are listed

4 Prior to 1955 warehouse capacities for each of the cities listed includshyed alI space within the city named and within a radius of 25 miles Begiluting with this survey cities are in each instance standard metropolitan areas which are urban centers containing at least one city of 50000 population or more and in cludefelau2trwa~~sely linked surrounding area

Zero Space

In 1945 the relationship of national storage capacity capable of holding ()O F or lower to the capacity of higher temperatures was in the ratio of 1 to 5 That is for every 5 cubic feet o~ 1 cubic foot could hold ()O F or lower By 1955 for every 11 cubic feet of existing refrigerated space~ almost half 5 cubic feet could maintain temperatures of 00 F or below

Records covering the growth of zero space go back only as far as 1939 At that time only 87 million cubic feet were in operation but it grew to 135 million by October 1 1945 The 6-year growth was only 48 million cubic feet an average of 16 million each two-year period From 1945 to 1955 the industry added almost 242 million cubic feet which carried the national capacity to 347 million cubic feet The average gain during this period was approxbnately 48 million cubic feet each 2 years

Public Warehouses

In the early days of the warehousing industry meat packing plants provided sizeable refrigerated space for the storage of agricultural perishables in the extensive cooler storage facilities supporting their killing and storage operashytions At that time meat packers commo~ took in food products belonging to others for storage However most meat packers now confine their space to their Olom storage programs and it is not unusual for them to use public general space when their own space is filled to capacity

Public warehouse space including public apple houses is by far the preponshyderant type of space available in the nation About 799 plants were in operation on October 1 1955 having a collective storage capacity of 499 million cubic feet This was more than 60 percent of the total refIigerated space in the counshytry In addition more than hill of this space 282 million cubic feet could hold temperatures of CP F or lower Considering that there was only 377 million cubic feet of zero space in the country on October 1 1955 this segment of the industry has an important role in the storage of agricultural perishables and seJlliperishashybles Public space capable of holding 00 F is more than four times that of 1939 and almost 70 percent larger than in 1945

Private and Semiprivate Warehouses

The increase in warehouse capacity reported by pllolic warehousemen was more than matched by the growth in private and semiprivate space (including apple houses) bull This industry is fast becoming an important factor in the storage of frozen foods Their refrigerated space capable of holding 00 F or lOier increasshyed from 8 million cubic feet in 1939 to 74 million in 1955 Percentage-wise this represented an increase of more than 800 percent During the past 10 years 62 million cubic feet of zero space came into being as private and semiprivate space chiefly on the west coast and in the South Atlantic region in areas close to points of production In these regions the States showing the largest gains were Florida with 17 million and California with 9 million

REFRIGERATED WAREHOUSE CAPACITYJ BY REGIONS

The Pacific States led all other regions on October 1 1955 according to their gross refrigerated capaciV This region had applOximate~ 212 million cubic teet or 26 percent of the national total (table 3) In 1945 the Pacific States ranked tJrlrd with 124 million gross cubic feet of space Their relative share of the national storage capacity increased from 19 percent in 1945 to 26 pershycent in 1955

By contrast the rUddlc Atlantic States which held second ranking in 1955 with 153 million cubic feet have been unable to maintain their relative share of the namptional capaciV during the past 10 years The trend there is a declining one even though the total capacity has increased since 1945 At that time the Middle Atlantic capacity which totaled 146 million cubic feet and represented 23~ percent of the national total was the largest of the regions Its share dropped to 21 percent by 1951 to 20 per cent by 1953 and 19 percent by 1955

Another area that seems to be declining in relative importance is the East North Central region Its capacity on October 1 1955 totaled 147 million cubic feet which gave third ranking with 18 percent of the national total However in 1945 the area was second with 22 percent ()f the national total During the 1945shy1955 period the East North Central capacity increased less than 6 million cubic feet

The three ranking areas in 1955 accounted for 63 percent of all the r9fligershyated warehouse space in the country Since their share of the national total was bull about the same in 1945 it suggests that forces operating within industry are bringing about a realignment of space Traditionally the Middle Atlantic and East North Central States were the 2 leading storage areas on a capacity basis~ because of the development of space in metropolitan areas to serve vast urban popushylationa However as frozen foods became more acceptable and more and more frozen food products were introduced the need for CP F space in urban areas could only be accommodated by convertirig existing cooler space Construction of new space in these ~as was limited because of high land costs and with the trend toward sinshygle story wdts sizeable land tracts were needed

On the other hand by locating warehouses closer to points of production in areas removed from high land costs tracts were available for constructing considermiddot able storage capaciv in single story units in which greater use could be made of newq developed mechanical handling equipment In CalifOrnia for example 00 F space increased from less than 8 million cubic feet in 102 plants to 44 million in 218 plants from 1945 to 1955 By contrast in New York the State lith the largest capacity in the Middle Atlantic group zero space was increased only from 17 million to 32 million in the comparable period the number of plants increased from 260 w 314 Comparative figures for Illinois are as follows From 1945 to 1955 zero space increased from 21 to 36 million nwnber of plants decreased from 66 to 61

The South Atlantic region is another e1Cal1Ip1e of decentralization of space With the growth of citr-lS concentrate production there was an associated growth

of warehouse capacity In this region in 1945 o~middot 47 million cubic feet of space was in operation Of this amount onlJr 4 million could hold temperatures of ()O F or below The areas rank in the national picture at that time was fifth with 7 percent of the space Ten years later the area still ranked fifth but its capacity had increased to 96 million cubic feet which was 12 percent of the United States total Capacity of ()O F 0 space was up to 52 million cubic feet Almost all of this increase was the result of the construction of new warehouse space in Florida

Opound the remaining areas the West North Central ranked fourth in 1955 with 13 percent of the total national capacity or 104 m1l11on cubic feet Like the Middle Atlantic and East North Central regional the West North Central group has experishyenced a downward trend since 1945 Their share of the national total a decade ago was 17 percent and at that time 10 percentage points separated them from the fifth ranking region the South Atlantic TodayJ only 1 point separates the two The relative ranking of the New England West South Central East South Central and Mountain was the same in 1955 as in 1945 and ranked in the order named While the relative position of these 4 areas did not change they all added substantially to their capacity during the 1945-1955 period except the Mountain States There an increase of o~ 1 million cubic feet was reported

semiprivate zero space Thusl for the first tlmel the Middle Atlantic group was displaced for the leadership in these classifications In 19451 the Pacific area had only 12 percent ot the zero space in the count1T only 11 percent ot the zero space in public genera1 facilities and less than 3 percent of the zero space in private and semiprivate warehouses

Only one other area could match the growth ot zero space on the West coast and that is the South Atlantic where the growth was even greater The South Atlantic capacity reported on October 11 19551 amounted to 52 million gross cubic feet or about 14 percent of the natioD81 total Only 10 years earlierl about 3 percent of the countrys total or 4 million cubic feet were within the States comprising this region The significant growth experienced in this area is directly associated with the expansion ot space needed to accommodate the citrus industry During the 1945-1955 periodl the capacity of zero space in public genera1 facilities in the region was increased by 28 million cubic feet while in private and semiprivate tacilities the increase totaled 19 million cubic feet See fig 2 for the distri shybution of zero space I by type of warehousel and fig~ 3 for regional distribution

From a national standpointl the capacity of space capable of holding temperashytures of CO F or below has changed considerably since 1945 but the rea1 change is in the geographic distribution of this space Capacity o zero space is increasshying in all areas but it is increasing at a more rapid rate in new centers of storshyagel notably in Floridal Washingtonl Oregon and California In 19551 abOut 45 percent of the national total was in 5 regions-50uth At1anticl East 8hd West South Centrall Mountain and Pacific In 1945 they accounted for onQr 23 percent ot the total This upward trend is at the expense of 4 regions-New Englandl Middle Atlanticl East and West North Centra1-tJhich are expEriencing a corresponding loss ot the national share In 1945 their combined capacity of zero space was equivashylent to 77 percent of the total compared with 55 percent in 1955

See tables 6 to 9 inclusivel for a regional breakdown of refrigerated storage capacity in meat packing plants and apple houses

Public General Warehouses y In 19551 the Middle Atlantic region was the most important in terms of public

general space Of the 464 million cubic feet of public space in the countryl 22 percent--lOl miliion cubic feet--was in Middle Atlantic States (table 4) This capacitV surpassed the next leading area East Northmiddot Central by- almost 8 million cubic feet Also there were more public general warehouces in the Middle Atlantic group than in ~ other--l41 plants

epproximatelJr the same public general warehouse capacit) as in 1945 Be~ause of their preponderant warehotlSe capacity developed over a period of ~ years each held their relative rank in the national picture Butwhere the Middle Atlantic States accounted for 28 percent of the public space in 1945 only 22 pelCent of the total was in this area ~ 1955 In the East North Central States public genshyeral space dropped from 26 percent of the total in 1945 to 20 percent in 1955 It thus appears the two areas that have ranked first and second consistently for 10 years are steadily losing grolUld The capacity of space classified as public general is becoming larger nationally but apparently it is not increasing as rapidshyly in the Middle Atlantic and East North Central States as in other regions

For example in the third ranking area the Pacific ooast public general space increased from 14 percent of the national total to 17 percent during the 10 year period ended 1955 During the same period the relative share of the national public warehouse space located in West North Central States increased from 11 pershycent to 14 percent while in the South Atlantic area the increase was from 7 to 11 percent Lesser increases or no changeS were reported from the 4 remaining areas but each showed more public general space than in 1945

It is reasonable to conclude that the change in distribution of public general warehouse ~pace shows a trend on the part of public warehousemen to locate their plants away from traditional centers of storage The fact that the 8 States comshyprising the Middle Atlantic and East North Central regions have shown comparatively little change in public general warehouse capacity in 10 years is in contrast to the national increase of 112 million cubic feet during this period It is signifi shycant also that whereas these 2 regions formerly accounted for about 54 percent of all the public general space in the country in 1945 they account for only 42 percent in 1955

Private and Semi2rivate Gel~zal_W~~lt~s_~ JI Refrigerated storage space classified as private and semiprivate general is a

minor portion of the overall national capacity Of the total 813 million cubic feet only about 15 percent 121 million was private and semiprivate on October 1 1955 (tab1e 5)

This industry has increased in both number of plants and capacity and in every region in the past 10 years In 1945 the 343 private and semiprivate plants had a collective storage capacity of 40 million cubic feet By 1955 the munber had grown to ~33 plants with 121 million cubic feet of gross storage space

The largest gain was in the Pacific region Here private and semiprivate space was increased from 8 million in 1945 to 40 million by 1955 In the South Atlantic States meanwhile a building program that started after 1945 netted the area almost 22 million cubic feet of space in 10 years Private and semiprivate capacity in the area in 1945 amounted to a little more than 1 million cubic feet in the 15 plants located there whereas in 1955 almost 23 million cubic feet were in the area The nwnber of plants totaled 51

In order of ranking however the South Atlantic was third because more pri shyvate and semiprivate capacity was in the East North Central States But the difference between these two areas is fast narroying and only 1 nri Ilion cubic feet-shyseparatethemat this time compared with 8 million in 1953

REFRIGERATED STORAGE CAPACITY~ BY STATES

RefriGerated storage space is in eveTY State~ the 1955survey showed~ but the extent of availability varied signific~tl1among States Capacities ranged from less than 100000 cubic feet in WyoInink to 96 million in ~iashington See fig 5 for the changes in gross refrigerated space b1 States since 1953

Four States--Ilashington New York~ California~ and Illinois-had 42 percent of the national storage capacity (figc 4) Adding the next four leading StatesshyF1orlda~ Pennsylvania Michigan and New Jersey-increased the total to 5~ percent

Washington was by far theleading State with 96 million cubic feet (table 10) which included almost 70 million cubic feet of apple storage Nal York which ranked second had o~ 19 million cubic feet of apple house space

The emergence of Washington to the forefront is a recent development and is indicative of a trend in the Pacific area Traditional~ NerT York was the leader among States but the 1955 survey showed it had dropped to second position and even this ranking is in jeopardy because of the significant growth in California The total refrigerated capacity in New York totaled 895 million cubic feet on October 1 1955 while the California total was 888 million

From 1945 to 1955 warehOlle capacity in New York increased onlyen 4 million cubic feet hile in Illinois there was a reduction of 4 million The Illinois reduction would have been even greater had there not been an increase of 12 million cubic feet in private and semiprivate space to offset the 16 million cubic feet of space lost in public warehouses and meat packing plants during this period

In contrast to the relative stability of capacity in New York and Illinois the 10-year growth in Washington totaled 31 million cubic feet and in California 49 million The expansion in Washington was primari~ apple houses In Califorshynia the increase was mostly additions to public general and private and semishyprivate general space

Public General Warehouses

Although the overall storage capacity in New York has been relatively stable these ast 10 years public general space in the State was the largest reported by any State-58 million cubic feet California the next leading State had 49 milshylion followed by 46 million in Illinois (table II) These three States have alshymost one-tl-tird of the total public general space in the country From 1945 to 1955 Kansas and Florida each added about 13 million cubic feet to bring their puolic general capacity to 21 and 17 million cubic feet~ respectively Qnly New JerseY~ Pennsylvania~ Missouri~ and Texas ~ had more public general space than KansasJ which ranked 8th in the country

Private and Semiprivate General Warehouses

The distribution of private and semiprivate space (table 12) was quite differshyent from public general California was in the forefront with New York fourth behind Florida and Illinois California with 28 million cubic feet had almost as much as the second and third ranking States combined Floridas capacity at 18 million gross cubic feet was almost as large as the capacity in Illip~is and New York l1itilllrcIl~f_W~

Meat Packing Plants

Illinois Missouri and Iowa in the order named were the important cold storage States for the meat packing industry (table 13) Capacitywise they were about equal with a slight edge in favor of Illinois and collectivel3 they account- ed for 30 percent by the meat pacldng space in the country From 1945 to 1955 their capacity has been declining Some of this decrease is due to a reclassificashytion of storage space which excluded certain refrigerated space in later surveys and in part to an abandomnent of storage space in certain areas

Apple Hous

Two areas Pacific and l-1iddle Atlantic had the major share of apple storage space in the country Washington storages with 44 percent of the national tlttal and New York with 12 percent rank far ahead of all other States (table 14 1 and 16)

Next in order of importance were Virginia Michigan Oregon and California The six leading States with 83 percent of the available apple house capacity also accounted for 37 percent of the national space in the country capable of holding temperatures above 00 F bull

REFRIGERATED STORAGE CAPACITY BY CITlES v Chicago continues to maintalll its leadership aJllODg all cities as a center of

cold storage space The degree of concentration of space in the Chic~go metropolshyi tan area is given in table 11 along with the capacities of 23 other metropolitan areas in the country

Over 51 million gross cubic feet of space was in Chicago on Octobe~l 1955 about 10 million more than the second ranked city ~lew York Chicagos capacity was almost equal to the combined capacities found in Boston Detroit Kansas City Buffalo Minneapolis and St Paul In t1e order named these cities comprise the lower half of the 10 leading storage centers on a capacity basis

Los Angeles was in third position with almost 22 million cubic feet only about half as much as in Greater New York Ranking fourth and fifth with almost equal capacity was St Louis and Philadelphia respectively

REFRIGERATED WAREHOUSE CAPACITYJ BY REGIONS

The Pacific States led all other regions on October 1 1955 according to their gross refrigerated capaciV This region had applOximate~ 212 million cubic teet or 26 percent of the national total (table 3) In 1945 the Pacific States ranked tJrlrd with 124 million gross cubic feet of space Their relative share of the national storage capacity increased from 19 percent in 1945 to 26 pershycent in 1955

By contrast the rUddlc Atlantic States which held second ranking in 1955 with 153 million cubic feet have been unable to maintain their relative share of the namptional capaciV during the past 10 years The trend there is a declining one even though the total capacity has increased since 1945 At that time the Middle Atlantic capacity which totaled 146 million cubic feet and represented 23~ percent of the national total was the largest of the regions Its share dropped to 21 percent by 1951 to 20 per cent by 1953 and 19 percent by 1955

Another area that seems to be declining in relative importance is the East North Central region Its capacity on October 1 1955 totaled 147 million cubic feet which gave third ranking with 18 percent of the national total However in 1945 the area was second with 22 percent ()f the national total During the 1945shy1955 period the East North Central capacity increased less than 6 million cubic feet

The three ranking areas in 1955 accounted for 63 percent of all the r9fligershyated warehouse space in the country Since their share of the national total was bull about the same in 1945 it suggests that forces operating within industry are bringing about a realignment of space Traditionally the Middle Atlantic and East North Central States were the 2 leading storage areas on a capacity basis~ because of the development of space in metropolitan areas to serve vast urban popushylationa However as frozen foods became more acceptable and more and more frozen food products were introduced the need for CP F space in urban areas could only be accommodated by convertirig existing cooler space Construction of new space in these ~as was limited because of high land costs and with the trend toward sinshygle story wdts sizeable land tracts were needed

On the other hand by locating warehouses closer to points of production in areas removed from high land costs tracts were available for constructing considermiddot able storage capaciv in single story units in which greater use could be made of newq developed mechanical handling equipment In CalifOrnia for example 00 F space increased from less than 8 million cubic feet in 102 plants to 44 million in 218 plants from 1945 to 1955 By contrast in New York the State lith the largest capacity in the Middle Atlantic group zero space was increased only from 17 million to 32 million in the comparable period the number of plants increased from 260 w 314 Comparative figures for Illinois are as follows From 1945 to 1955 zero space increased from 21 to 36 million nwnber of plants decreased from 66 to 61

The South Atlantic region is another e1Cal1Ip1e of decentralization of space With the growth of citr-lS concentrate production there was an associated growth

of warehouse capacity In this region in 1945 o~middot 47 million cubic feet of space was in operation Of this amount onlJr 4 million could hold temperatures of ()O F or below The areas rank in the national picture at that time was fifth with 7 percent of the space Ten years later the area still ranked fifth but its capacity had increased to 96 million cubic feet which was 12 percent of the United States total Capacity of ()O F 0 space was up to 52 million cubic feet Almost all of this increase was the result of the construction of new warehouse space in Florida

Opound the remaining areas the West North Central ranked fourth in 1955 with 13 percent of the total national capacity or 104 m1l11on cubic feet Like the Middle Atlantic and East North Central regional the West North Central group has experishyenced a downward trend since 1945 Their share of the national total a decade ago was 17 percent and at that time 10 percentage points separated them from the fifth ranking region the South Atlantic TodayJ only 1 point separates the two The relative ranking of the New England West South Central East South Central and Mountain was the same in 1955 as in 1945 and ranked in the order named While the relative position of these 4 areas did not change they all added substantially to their capacity during the 1945-1955 period except the Mountain States There an increase of o~ 1 million cubic feet was reported

Zero Space

Almost half 1~6 percent of the refrigerated space in the country could hold temperatures of 00 F or below the 1955 survey showed compared with 21 percent in 1945 Of the national total opound 377 million cubic feet of zero space about oneshyfifth flas in the Pacific States This area which ranked first also had more zero space ~e~iW-iiqouses than aIY other region as well as more private and

semiprivate zero space Thusl for the first tlmel the Middle Atlantic group was displaced for the leadership in these classifications In 19451 the Pacific area had only 12 percent ot the zero space in the count1T only 11 percent ot the zero space in public genera1 facilities and less than 3 percent of the zero space in private and semiprivate warehouses

Only one other area could match the growth ot zero space on the West coast and that is the South Atlantic where the growth was even greater The South Atlantic capacity reported on October 11 19551 amounted to 52 million gross cubic feet or about 14 percent of the natioD81 total Only 10 years earlierl about 3 percent of the countrys total or 4 million cubic feet were within the States comprising this region The significant growth experienced in this area is directly associated with the expansion ot space needed to accommodate the citrus industry During the 1945-1955 periodl the capacity of zero space in public genera1 facilities in the region was increased by 28 million cubic feet while in private and semiprivate tacilities the increase totaled 19 million cubic feet See fig 2 for the distri shybution of zero space I by type of warehousel and fig~ 3 for regional distribution

From a national standpointl the capacity of space capable of holding temperashytures of CO F or below has changed considerably since 1945 but the rea1 change is in the geographic distribution of this space Capacity o zero space is increasshying in all areas but it is increasing at a more rapid rate in new centers of storshyagel notably in Floridal Washingtonl Oregon and California In 19551 abOut 45 percent of the national total was in 5 regions-50uth At1anticl East 8hd West South Centrall Mountain and Pacific In 1945 they accounted for onQr 23 percent ot the total This upward trend is at the expense of 4 regions-New Englandl Middle Atlanticl East and West North Centra1-tJhich are expEriencing a corresponding loss ot the national share In 1945 their combined capacity of zero space was equivashylent to 77 percent of the total compared with 55 percent in 1955

See tables 6 to 9 inclusivel for a regional breakdown of refrigerated storage capacity in meat packing plants and apple houses

Public General Warehouses y In 19551 the Middle Atlantic region was the most important in terms of public

general space Of the 464 million cubic feet of public space in the countryl 22 percent--lOl miliion cubic feet--was in Middle Atlantic States (table 4) This capacitV surpassed the next leading area East Northmiddot Central by- almost 8 million cubic feet Also there were more public general warehouces in the Middle Atlantic group than in ~ other--l41 plants

The first and second ranking areas with public general space~ddle Atlantic and East North Central-had cOlparatively the same capacity in 1955 as in 1945 and the same relative rank as then As a matter of factI the order of ranking Cor each region in 1955 was identical to the 1945 ranking which is as follows I starting with the third position Pacificl West North Central South Atlanticl West South Centrall New England East South Central and Mountain

epproximatelJr the same public general warehouse capacit) as in 1945 Be~ause of their preponderant warehotlSe capacity developed over a period of ~ years each held their relative rank in the national picture Butwhere the Middle Atlantic States accounted for 28 percent of the public space in 1945 only 22 pelCent of the total was in this area ~ 1955 In the East North Central States public genshyeral space dropped from 26 percent of the total in 1945 to 20 percent in 1955 It thus appears the two areas that have ranked first and second consistently for 10 years are steadily losing grolUld The capacity of space classified as public general is becoming larger nationally but apparently it is not increasing as rapidshyly in the Middle Atlantic and East North Central States as in other regions

For example in the third ranking area the Pacific ooast public general space increased from 14 percent of the national total to 17 percent during the 10 year period ended 1955 During the same period the relative share of the national public warehouse space located in West North Central States increased from 11 pershycent to 14 percent while in the South Atlantic area the increase was from 7 to 11 percent Lesser increases or no changeS were reported from the 4 remaining areas but each showed more public general space than in 1945

It is reasonable to conclude that the change in distribution of public general warehouse ~pace shows a trend on the part of public warehousemen to locate their plants away from traditional centers of storage The fact that the 8 States comshyprising the Middle Atlantic and East North Central regions have shown comparatively little change in public general warehouse capacity in 10 years is in contrast to the national increase of 112 million cubic feet during this period It is signifi shycant also that whereas these 2 regions formerly accounted for about 54 percent of all the public general space in the country in 1945 they account for only 42 percent in 1955

Private and Semi2rivate Gel~zal_W~~lt~s_~ JI Refrigerated storage space classified as private and semiprivate general is a

minor portion of the overall national capacity Of the total 813 million cubic feet only about 15 percent 121 million was private and semiprivate on October 1 1955 (tab1e 5)

This industry has increased in both number of plants and capacity and in every region in the past 10 years In 1945 the 343 private and semiprivate plants had a collective storage capacity of 40 million cubic feet By 1955 the munber had grown to ~33 plants with 121 million cubic feet of gross storage space

The largest gain was in the Pacific region Here private and semiprivate space was increased from 8 million in 1945 to 40 million by 1955 In the South Atlantic States meanwhile a building program that started after 1945 netted the area almost 22 million cubic feet of space in 10 years Private and semiprivate capacity in the area in 1945 amounted to a little more than 1 million cubic feet in the 15 plants located there whereas in 1955 almost 23 million cubic feet were in the area The nwnber of plants totaled 51

In order of ranking however the South Atlantic was third because more pri shyvate and semiprivate capacity was in the East North Central States But the difference between these two areas is fast narroying and only 1 nri Ilion cubic feet-shyseparatethemat this time compared with 8 million in 1953

REFRIGERATED STORAGE CAPACITY~ BY STATES

RefriGerated storage space is in eveTY State~ the 1955survey showed~ but the extent of availability varied signific~tl1among States Capacities ranged from less than 100000 cubic feet in WyoInink to 96 million in ~iashington See fig 5 for the changes in gross refrigerated space b1 States since 1953

Four States--Ilashington New York~ California~ and Illinois-had 42 percent of the national storage capacity (figc 4) Adding the next four leading StatesshyF1orlda~ Pennsylvania Michigan and New Jersey-increased the total to 5~ percent

Washington was by far theleading State with 96 million cubic feet (table 10) which included almost 70 million cubic feet of apple storage Nal York which ranked second had o~ 19 million cubic feet of apple house space

The emergence of Washington to the forefront is a recent development and is indicative of a trend in the Pacific area Traditional~ NerT York was the leader among States but the 1955 survey showed it had dropped to second position and even this ranking is in jeopardy because of the significant growth in California The total refrigerated capacity in New York totaled 895 million cubic feet on October 1 1955 while the California total was 888 million

From 1945 to 1955 warehOlle capacity in New York increased onlyen 4 million cubic feet hile in Illinois there was a reduction of 4 million The Illinois reduction would have been even greater had there not been an increase of 12 million cubic feet in private and semiprivate space to offset the 16 million cubic feet of space lost in public warehouses and meat packing plants during this period

In contrast to the relative stability of capacity in New York and Illinois the 10-year growth in Washington totaled 31 million cubic feet and in California 49 million The expansion in Washington was primari~ apple houses In Califorshynia the increase was mostly additions to public general and private and semishyprivate general space

Public General Warehouses

Although the overall storage capacity in New York has been relatively stable these ast 10 years public general space in the State was the largest reported by any State-58 million cubic feet California the next leading State had 49 milshylion followed by 46 million in Illinois (table II) These three States have alshymost one-tl-tird of the total public general space in the country From 1945 to 1955 Kansas and Florida each added about 13 million cubic feet to bring their puolic general capacity to 21 and 17 million cubic feet~ respectively Qnly New JerseY~ Pennsylvania~ Missouri~ and Texas ~ had more public general space than KansasJ which ranked 8th in the country

Private and Semiprivate General Warehouses

The distribution of private and semiprivate space (table 12) was quite differshyent from public general California was in the forefront with New York fourth behind Florida and Illinois California with 28 million cubic feet had almost as much as the second and third ranking States combined Floridas capacity at 18 million gross cubic feet was almost as large as the capacity in Illip~is and New York l1itilllrcIl~f_W~

Meat Packing Plants

Illinois Missouri and Iowa in the order named were the important cold storage States for the meat packing industry (table 13) Capacitywise they were about equal with a slight edge in favor of Illinois and collectivel3 they account- ed for 30 percent by the meat pacldng space in the country From 1945 to 1955 their capacity has been declining Some of this decrease is due to a reclassificashytion of storage space which excluded certain refrigerated space in later surveys and in part to an abandomnent of storage space in certain areas

Apple Hous

Two areas Pacific and l-1iddle Atlantic had the major share of apple storage space in the country Washington storages with 44 percent of the national tlttal and New York with 12 percent rank far ahead of all other States (table 14 1 and 16)

Next in order of importance were Virginia Michigan Oregon and California The six leading States with 83 percent of the available apple house capacity also accounted for 37 percent of the national space in the country capable of holding temperatures above 00 F bull

REFRIGERATED STORAGE CAPACITY BY CITlES v Chicago continues to maintalll its leadership aJllODg all cities as a center of

cold storage space The degree of concentration of space in the Chic~go metropolshyi tan area is given in table 11 along with the capacities of 23 other metropolitan areas in the country

Over 51 million gross cubic feet of space was in Chicago on Octobe~l 1955 about 10 million more than the second ranked city ~lew York Chicagos capacity was almost equal to the combined capacities found in Boston Detroit Kansas City Buffalo Minneapolis and St Paul In t1e order named these cities comprise the lower half of the 10 leading storage centers on a capacity basis

Los Angeles was in third position with almost 22 million cubic feet only about half as much as in Greater New York Ranking fourth and fifth with almost equal capacity was St Louis and Philadelphia respectively

Public General Warehouses

The greatest concentration of public general space was located in Greater New York the 1955 survey showed with Chicago second (table lB) New Yorks capacity amounted to 28 IILUlion cubic feet of usable piling space Chicago had 26 millionbull

Los Angeles with 10 million cubic feet of usable space was third followed by Philadelphia and St Louis each with approximately 9 million cubic feet These 5 cities with 82 million cubic feet of usable space comprised 14 percent of the national usable refrigerated capacity and 18 percent of all the ()O F space

The next 5 leading cities--Boston DetrOit Kansas City Dallas and Cleveshyland-had a usable piling capacity total of only 36 million cubic feet (fig 6)~

Meat PaCking Plants

Table 19 lists the refrigerated capacity of selected meat packing locations Chicago and St Louis were by far the leading areas followed by New York Los Angeles and Denver Only those cities haJing 3 or more plants and approximatelJ 1 million cubic feet of usable piling space are listed

4 Prior to 1955 warehouse capacities for each of the cities listed includshyed alI space within the city named and within a radius of 25 miles Begiluting with this survey cities are in each instance standard metropolitan areas which are urban centers containing at least one city of 50000 population or more and in cludefelau2trwa~~sely linked surrounding area

REFRIGERATED WAREHOUSE CAPACITYJ BY REGIONS

The Pacific States led all other regions on October 1 1955 according to their gross refrigerated capaciV This region had applOximate~ 212 million cubic teet or 26 percent of the national total (table 3) In 1945 the Pacific States ranked tJrlrd with 124 million gross cubic feet of space Their relative share of the national storage capacity increased from 19 percent in 1945 to 26 pershycent in 1955

By contrast the rUddlc Atlantic States which held second ranking in 1955 with 153 million cubic feet have been unable to maintain their relative share of the namptional capaciV during the past 10 years The trend there is a declining one even though the total capacity has increased since 1945 At that time the Middle Atlantic capacity which totaled 146 million cubic feet and represented 23~ percent of the national total was the largest of the regions Its share dropped to 21 percent by 1951 to 20 per cent by 1953 and 19 percent by 1955

Another area that seems to be declining in relative importance is the East North Central region Its capacity on October 1 1955 totaled 147 million cubic feet which gave third ranking with 18 percent of the national total However in 1945 the area was second with 22 percent ()f the national total During the 1945shy1955 period the East North Central capacity increased less than 6 million cubic feet

The three ranking areas in 1955 accounted for 63 percent of all the r9fligershyated warehouse space in the country Since their share of the national total was bull about the same in 1945 it suggests that forces operating within industry are bringing about a realignment of space Traditionally the Middle Atlantic and East North Central States were the 2 leading storage areas on a capacity basis~ because of the development of space in metropolitan areas to serve vast urban popushylationa However as frozen foods became more acceptable and more and more frozen food products were introduced the need for CP F space in urban areas could only be accommodated by convertirig existing cooler space Construction of new space in these ~as was limited because of high land costs and with the trend toward sinshygle story wdts sizeable land tracts were needed

On the other hand by locating warehouses closer to points of production in areas removed from high land costs tracts were available for constructing considermiddot able storage capaciv in single story units in which greater use could be made of newq developed mechanical handling equipment In CalifOrnia for example 00 F space increased from less than 8 million cubic feet in 102 plants to 44 million in 218 plants from 1945 to 1955 By contrast in New York the State lith the largest capacity in the Middle Atlantic group zero space was increased only from 17 million to 32 million in the comparable period the number of plants increased from 260 w 314 Comparative figures for Illinois are as follows From 1945 to 1955 zero space increased from 21 to 36 million nwnber of plants decreased from 66 to 61

The South Atlantic region is another e1Cal1Ip1e of decentralization of space With the growth of citr-lS concentrate production there was an associated growth

of warehouse capacity In this region in 1945 o~middot 47 million cubic feet of space was in operation Of this amount onlJr 4 million could hold temperatures of ()O F or below The areas rank in the national picture at that time was fifth with 7 percent of the space Ten years later the area still ranked fifth but its capacity had increased to 96 million cubic feet which was 12 percent of the United States total Capacity of ()O F 0 space was up to 52 million cubic feet Almost all of this increase was the result of the construction of new warehouse space in Florida

Opound the remaining areas the West North Central ranked fourth in 1955 with 13 percent of the total national capacity or 104 m1l11on cubic feet Like the Middle Atlantic and East North Central regional the West North Central group has experishyenced a downward trend since 1945 Their share of the national total a decade ago was 17 percent and at that time 10 percentage points separated them from the fifth ranking region the South Atlantic TodayJ only 1 point separates the two The relative ranking of the New England West South Central East South Central and Mountain was the same in 1955 as in 1945 and ranked in the order named While the relative position of these 4 areas did not change they all added substantially to their capacity during the 1945-1955 period except the Mountain States There an increase of o~ 1 million cubic feet was reported

Zero Space

Almost half 1~6 percent of the refrigerated space in the country could hold temperatures of 00 F or below the 1955 survey showed compared with 21 percent in 1945 Of the national total opound 377 million cubic feet of zero space about oneshyfifth flas in the Pacific States This area which ranked first also had more zero space ~e~iW-iiqouses than aIY other region as well as more private and

semiprivate zero space Thusl for the first tlmel the Middle Atlantic group was displaced for the leadership in these classifications In 19451 the Pacific area had only 12 percent ot the zero space in the count1T only 11 percent ot the zero space in public genera1 facilities and less than 3 percent of the zero space in private and semiprivate warehouses

Only one other area could match the growth ot zero space on the West coast and that is the South Atlantic where the growth was even greater The South Atlantic capacity reported on October 11 19551 amounted to 52 million gross cubic feet or about 14 percent of the natioD81 total Only 10 years earlierl about 3 percent of the countrys total or 4 million cubic feet were within the States comprising this region The significant growth experienced in this area is directly associated with the expansion ot space needed to accommodate the citrus industry During the 1945-1955 periodl the capacity of zero space in public genera1 facilities in the region was increased by 28 million cubic feet while in private and semiprivate tacilities the increase totaled 19 million cubic feet See fig 2 for the distri shybution of zero space I by type of warehousel and fig~ 3 for regional distribution

From a national standpointl the capacity of space capable of holding temperashytures of CO F or below has changed considerably since 1945 but the rea1 change is in the geographic distribution of this space Capacity o zero space is increasshying in all areas but it is increasing at a more rapid rate in new centers of storshyagel notably in Floridal Washingtonl Oregon and California In 19551 abOut 45 percent of the national total was in 5 regions-50uth At1anticl East 8hd West South Centrall Mountain and Pacific In 1945 they accounted for onQr 23 percent ot the total This upward trend is at the expense of 4 regions-New Englandl Middle Atlanticl East and West North Centra1-tJhich are expEriencing a corresponding loss ot the national share In 1945 their combined capacity of zero space was equivashylent to 77 percent of the total compared with 55 percent in 1955

See tables 6 to 9 inclusivel for a regional breakdown of refrigerated storage capacity in meat packing plants and apple houses

Public General Warehouses y In 19551 the Middle Atlantic region was the most important in terms of public

general space Of the 464 million cubic feet of public space in the countryl 22 percent--lOl miliion cubic feet--was in Middle Atlantic States (table 4) This capacitV surpassed the next leading area East Northmiddot Central by- almost 8 million cubic feet Also there were more public general warehouces in the Middle Atlantic group than in ~ other--l41 plants

The first and second ranking areas with public general space~ddle Atlantic and East North Central-had cOlparatively the same capacity in 1955 as in 1945 and the same relative rank as then As a matter of factI the order of ranking Cor each region in 1955 was identical to the 1945 ranking which is as follows I starting with the third position Pacificl West North Central South Atlanticl West South Centrall New England East South Central and Mountain

While the relative rankings fer all regions did not change in the past 10 yearsl significant changes did take place in the relative shares of each region in the national total In the Middle Atlantic and East North Central areasa each had

epproximatelJr the same public general warehouse capacit) as in 1945 Be~ause of their preponderant warehotlSe capacity developed over a period of ~ years each held their relative rank in the national picture Butwhere the Middle Atlantic States accounted for 28 percent of the public space in 1945 only 22 pelCent of the total was in this area ~ 1955 In the East North Central States public genshyeral space dropped from 26 percent of the total in 1945 to 20 percent in 1955 It thus appears the two areas that have ranked first and second consistently for 10 years are steadily losing grolUld The capacity of space classified as public general is becoming larger nationally but apparently it is not increasing as rapidshyly in the Middle Atlantic and East North Central States as in other regions

For example in the third ranking area the Pacific ooast public general space increased from 14 percent of the national total to 17 percent during the 10 year period ended 1955 During the same period the relative share of the national public warehouse space located in West North Central States increased from 11 pershycent to 14 percent while in the South Atlantic area the increase was from 7 to 11 percent Lesser increases or no changeS were reported from the 4 remaining areas but each showed more public general space than in 1945

It is reasonable to conclude that the change in distribution of public general warehouse ~pace shows a trend on the part of public warehousemen to locate their plants away from traditional centers of storage The fact that the 8 States comshyprising the Middle Atlantic and East North Central regions have shown comparatively little change in public general warehouse capacity in 10 years is in contrast to the national increase of 112 million cubic feet during this period It is signifi shycant also that whereas these 2 regions formerly accounted for about 54 percent of all the public general space in the country in 1945 they account for only 42 percent in 1955

Private and Semi2rivate Gel~zal_W~~lt~s_~ JI Refrigerated storage space classified as private and semiprivate general is a

minor portion of the overall national capacity Of the total 813 million cubic feet only about 15 percent 121 million was private and semiprivate on October 1 1955 (tab1e 5)

This industry has increased in both number of plants and capacity and in every region in the past 10 years In 1945 the 343 private and semiprivate plants had a collective storage capacity of 40 million cubic feet By 1955 the munber had grown to ~33 plants with 121 million cubic feet of gross storage space

The largest gain was in the Pacific region Here private and semiprivate space was increased from 8 million in 1945 to 40 million by 1955 In the South Atlantic States meanwhile a building program that started after 1945 netted the area almost 22 million cubic feet of space in 10 years Private and semiprivate capacity in the area in 1945 amounted to a little more than 1 million cubic feet in the 15 plants located there whereas in 1955 almost 23 million cubic feet were in the area The nwnber of plants totaled 51

In order of ranking however the South Atlantic was third because more pri shyvate and semiprivate capacity was in the East North Central States But the difference between these two areas is fast narroying and only 1 nri Ilion cubic feet-shyseparatethemat this time compared with 8 million in 1953

REFRIGERATED STORAGE CAPACITY~ BY STATES

RefriGerated storage space is in eveTY State~ the 1955survey showed~ but the extent of availability varied signific~tl1among States Capacities ranged from less than 100000 cubic feet in WyoInink to 96 million in ~iashington See fig 5 for the changes in gross refrigerated space b1 States since 1953

Four States--Ilashington New York~ California~ and Illinois-had 42 percent of the national storage capacity (figc 4) Adding the next four leading StatesshyF1orlda~ Pennsylvania Michigan and New Jersey-increased the total to 5~ percent

Washington was by far theleading State with 96 million cubic feet (table 10) which included almost 70 million cubic feet of apple storage Nal York which ranked second had o~ 19 million cubic feet of apple house space

The emergence of Washington to the forefront is a recent development and is indicative of a trend in the Pacific area Traditional~ NerT York was the leader among States but the 1955 survey showed it had dropped to second position and even this ranking is in jeopardy because of the significant growth in California The total refrigerated capacity in New York totaled 895 million cubic feet on October 1 1955 while the California total was 888 million

From 1945 to 1955 warehOlle capacity in New York increased onlyen 4 million cubic feet hile in Illinois there was a reduction of 4 million The Illinois reduction would have been even greater had there not been an increase of 12 million cubic feet in private and semiprivate space to offset the 16 million cubic feet of space lost in public warehouses and meat packing plants during this period

In contrast to the relative stability of capacity in New York and Illinois the 10-year growth in Washington totaled 31 million cubic feet and in California 49 million The expansion in Washington was primari~ apple houses In Califorshynia the increase was mostly additions to public general and private and semishyprivate general space

Public General Warehouses

Although the overall storage capacity in New York has been relatively stable these ast 10 years public general space in the State was the largest reported by any State-58 million cubic feet California the next leading State had 49 milshylion followed by 46 million in Illinois (table II) These three States have alshymost one-tl-tird of the total public general space in the country From 1945 to 1955 Kansas and Florida each added about 13 million cubic feet to bring their puolic general capacity to 21 and 17 million cubic feet~ respectively Qnly New JerseY~ Pennsylvania~ Missouri~ and Texas ~ had more public general space than KansasJ which ranked 8th in the country

Private and Semiprivate General Warehouses

The distribution of private and semiprivate space (table 12) was quite differshyent from public general California was in the forefront with New York fourth behind Florida and Illinois California with 28 million cubic feet had almost as much as the second and third ranking States combined Floridas capacity at 18 million gross cubic feet was almost as large as the capacity in Illip~is and New York l1itilllrcIl~f_W~

Meat Packing Plants

Illinois Missouri and Iowa in the order named were the important cold storage States for the meat packing industry (table 13) Capacitywise they were about equal with a slight edge in favor of Illinois and collectivel3 they account- ed for 30 percent by the meat pacldng space in the country From 1945 to 1955 their capacity has been declining Some of this decrease is due to a reclassificashytion of storage space which excluded certain refrigerated space in later surveys and in part to an abandomnent of storage space in certain areas

Apple Hous

Two areas Pacific and l-1iddle Atlantic had the major share of apple storage space in the country Washington storages with 44 percent of the national tlttal and New York with 12 percent rank far ahead of all other States (table 14 1 and 16)

Next in order of importance were Virginia Michigan Oregon and California The six leading States with 83 percent of the available apple house capacity also accounted for 37 percent of the national space in the country capable of holding temperatures above 00 F bull

REFRIGERATED STORAGE CAPACITY BY CITlES v Chicago continues to maintalll its leadership aJllODg all cities as a center of

cold storage space The degree of concentration of space in the Chic~go metropolshyi tan area is given in table 11 along with the capacities of 23 other metropolitan areas in the country

Over 51 million gross cubic feet of space was in Chicago on Octobe~l 1955 about 10 million more than the second ranked city ~lew York Chicagos capacity was almost equal to the combined capacities found in Boston Detroit Kansas City Buffalo Minneapolis and St Paul In t1e order named these cities comprise the lower half of the 10 leading storage centers on a capacity basis

Los Angeles was in third position with almost 22 million cubic feet only about half as much as in Greater New York Ranking fourth and fifth with almost equal capacity was St Louis and Philadelphia respectively

Public General Warehouses

The greatest concentration of public general space was located in Greater New York the 1955 survey showed with Chicago second (table lB) New Yorks capacity amounted to 28 IILUlion cubic feet of usable piling space Chicago had 26 millionbull

Los Angeles with 10 million cubic feet of usable space was third followed by Philadelphia and St Louis each with approximately 9 million cubic feet These 5 cities with 82 million cubic feet of usable space comprised 14 percent of the national usable refrigerated capacity and 18 percent of all the ()O F space

The next 5 leading cities--Boston DetrOit Kansas City Dallas and Cleveshyland-had a usable piling capacity total of only 36 million cubic feet (fig 6)~

REFRIGERATED WAREHOUSE CAPACITYJ BY REGIONS

The Pacific States led all other regions on October 1 1955 according to their gross refrigerated capaciV This region had applOximate~ 212 million cubic teet or 26 percent of the national total (table 3) In 1945 the Pacific States ranked tJrlrd with 124 million gross cubic feet of space Their relative share of the national storage capacity increased from 19 percent in 1945 to 26 pershycent in 1955

By contrast the rUddlc Atlantic States which held second ranking in 1955 with 153 million cubic feet have been unable to maintain their relative share of the namptional capaciV during the past 10 years The trend there is a declining one even though the total capacity has increased since 1945 At that time the Middle Atlantic capacity which totaled 146 million cubic feet and represented 23~ percent of the national total was the largest of the regions Its share dropped to 21 percent by 1951 to 20 per cent by 1953 and 19 percent by 1955

Another area that seems to be declining in relative importance is the East North Central region Its capacity on October 1 1955 totaled 147 million cubic feet which gave third ranking with 18 percent of the national total However in 1945 the area was second with 22 percent ()f the national total During the 1945shy1955 period the East North Central capacity increased less than 6 million cubic feet

The three ranking areas in 1955 accounted for 63 percent of all the r9fligershyated warehouse space in the country Since their share of the national total was bull about the same in 1945 it suggests that forces operating within industry are bringing about a realignment of space Traditionally the Middle Atlantic and East North Central States were the 2 leading storage areas on a capacity basis~ because of the development of space in metropolitan areas to serve vast urban popushylationa However as frozen foods became more acceptable and more and more frozen food products were introduced the need for CP F space in urban areas could only be accommodated by convertirig existing cooler space Construction of new space in these ~as was limited because of high land costs and with the trend toward sinshygle story wdts sizeable land tracts were needed

On the other hand by locating warehouses closer to points of production in areas removed from high land costs tracts were available for constructing considermiddot able storage capaciv in single story units in which greater use could be made of newq developed mechanical handling equipment In CalifOrnia for example 00 F space increased from less than 8 million cubic feet in 102 plants to 44 million in 218 plants from 1945 to 1955 By contrast in New York the State lith the largest capacity in the Middle Atlantic group zero space was increased only from 17 million to 32 million in the comparable period the number of plants increased from 260 w 314 Comparative figures for Illinois are as follows From 1945 to 1955 zero space increased from 21 to 36 million nwnber of plants decreased from 66 to 61

The South Atlantic region is another e1Cal1Ip1e of decentralization of space With the growth of citr-lS concentrate production there was an associated growth

of warehouse capacity In this region in 1945 o~middot 47 million cubic feet of space was in operation Of this amount onlJr 4 million could hold temperatures of ()O F or below The areas rank in the national picture at that time was fifth with 7 percent of the space Ten years later the area still ranked fifth but its capacity had increased to 96 million cubic feet which was 12 percent of the United States total Capacity of ()O F 0 space was up to 52 million cubic feet Almost all of this increase was the result of the construction of new warehouse space in Florida

Opound the remaining areas the West North Central ranked fourth in 1955 with 13 percent of the total national capacity or 104 m1l11on cubic feet Like the Middle Atlantic and East North Central regional the West North Central group has experishyenced a downward trend since 1945 Their share of the national total a decade ago was 17 percent and at that time 10 percentage points separated them from the fifth ranking region the South Atlantic TodayJ only 1 point separates the two The relative ranking of the New England West South Central East South Central and Mountain was the same in 1955 as in 1945 and ranked in the order named While the relative position of these 4 areas did not change they all added substantially to their capacity during the 1945-1955 period except the Mountain States There an increase of o~ 1 million cubic feet was reported

Zero Space

Almost half 1~6 percent of the refrigerated space in the country could hold temperatures of 00 F or below the 1955 survey showed compared with 21 percent in 1945 Of the national total opound 377 million cubic feet of zero space about oneshyfifth flas in the Pacific States This area which ranked first also had more zero space ~e~iW-iiqouses than aIY other region as well as more private and

semiprivate zero space Thusl for the first tlmel the Middle Atlantic group was displaced for the leadership in these classifications In 19451 the Pacific area had only 12 percent ot the zero space in the count1T only 11 percent ot the zero space in public genera1 facilities and less than 3 percent of the zero space in private and semiprivate warehouses

Only one other area could match the growth ot zero space on the West coast and that is the South Atlantic where the growth was even greater The South Atlantic capacity reported on October 11 19551 amounted to 52 million gross cubic feet or about 14 percent of the natioD81 total Only 10 years earlierl about 3 percent of the countrys total or 4 million cubic feet were within the States comprising this region The significant growth experienced in this area is directly associated with the expansion ot space needed to accommodate the citrus industry During the 1945-1955 periodl the capacity of zero space in public genera1 facilities in the region was increased by 28 million cubic feet while in private and semiprivate tacilities the increase totaled 19 million cubic feet See fig 2 for the distri shybution of zero space I by type of warehousel and fig~ 3 for regional distribution

From a national standpointl the capacity of space capable of holding temperashytures of CO F or below has changed considerably since 1945 but the rea1 change is in the geographic distribution of this space Capacity o zero space is increasshying in all areas but it is increasing at a more rapid rate in new centers of storshyagel notably in Floridal Washingtonl Oregon and California In 19551 abOut 45 percent of the national total was in 5 regions-50uth At1anticl East 8hd West South Centrall Mountain and Pacific In 1945 they accounted for onQr 23 percent ot the total This upward trend is at the expense of 4 regions-New Englandl Middle Atlanticl East and West North Centra1-tJhich are expEriencing a corresponding loss ot the national share In 1945 their combined capacity of zero space was equivashylent to 77 percent of the total compared with 55 percent in 1955

See tables 6 to 9 inclusivel for a regional breakdown of refrigerated storage capacity in meat packing plants and apple houses

Public General Warehouses y In 19551 the Middle Atlantic region was the most important in terms of public

general space Of the 464 million cubic feet of public space in the countryl 22 percent--lOl miliion cubic feet--was in Middle Atlantic States (table 4) This capacitV surpassed the next leading area East Northmiddot Central by- almost 8 million cubic feet Also there were more public general warehouces in the Middle Atlantic group than in ~ other--l41 plants

The first and second ranking areas with public general space~ddle Atlantic and East North Central-had cOlparatively the same capacity in 1955 as in 1945 and the same relative rank as then As a matter of factI the order of ranking Cor each region in 1955 was identical to the 1945 ranking which is as follows I starting with the third position Pacificl West North Central South Atlanticl West South Centrall New England East South Central and Mountain

While the relative rankings fer all regions did not change in the past 10 yearsl significant changes did take place in the relative shares of each region in the national total In the Middle Atlantic and East North Central areasa each had

epproximatelJr the same public general warehouse capacit) as in 1945 Be~ause of their preponderant warehotlSe capacity developed over a period of ~ years each held their relative rank in the national picture Butwhere the Middle Atlantic States accounted for 28 percent of the public space in 1945 only 22 pelCent of the total was in this area ~ 1955 In the East North Central States public genshyeral space dropped from 26 percent of the total in 1945 to 20 percent in 1955 It thus appears the two areas that have ranked first and second consistently for 10 years are steadily losing grolUld The capacity of space classified as public general is becoming larger nationally but apparently it is not increasing as rapidshyly in the Middle Atlantic and East North Central States as in other regions

For example in the third ranking area the Pacific ooast public general space increased from 14 percent of the national total to 17 percent during the 10 year period ended 1955 During the same period the relative share of the national public warehouse space located in West North Central States increased from 11 pershycent to 14 percent while in the South Atlantic area the increase was from 7 to 11 percent Lesser increases or no changeS were reported from the 4 remaining areas but each showed more public general space than in 1945

It is reasonable to conclude that the change in distribution of public general warehouse ~pace shows a trend on the part of public warehousemen to locate their plants away from traditional centers of storage The fact that the 8 States comshyprising the Middle Atlantic and East North Central regions have shown comparatively little change in public general warehouse capacity in 10 years is in contrast to the national increase of 112 million cubic feet during this period It is signifi shycant also that whereas these 2 regions formerly accounted for about 54 percent of all the public general space in the country in 1945 they account for only 42 percent in 1955

Private and Semi2rivate Gel~zal_W~~lt~s_~ JI Refrigerated storage space classified as private and semiprivate general is a

minor portion of the overall national capacity Of the total 813 million cubic feet only about 15 percent 121 million was private and semiprivate on October 1 1955 (tab1e 5)

This industry has increased in both number of plants and capacity and in every region in the past 10 years In 1945 the 343 private and semiprivate plants had a collective storage capacity of 40 million cubic feet By 1955 the munber had grown to ~33 plants with 121 million cubic feet of gross storage space

The largest gain was in the Pacific region Here private and semiprivate space was increased from 8 million in 1945 to 40 million by 1955 In the South Atlantic States meanwhile a building program that started after 1945 netted the area almost 22 million cubic feet of space in 10 years Private and semiprivate capacity in the area in 1945 amounted to a little more than 1 million cubic feet in the 15 plants located there whereas in 1955 almost 23 million cubic feet were in the area The nwnber of plants totaled 51

In order of ranking however the South Atlantic was third because more pri shyvate and semiprivate capacity was in the East North Central States But the difference between these two areas is fast narroying and only 1 nri Ilion cubic feet-shyseparatethemat this time compared with 8 million in 1953

REFRIGERATED STORAGE CAPACITY~ BY STATES

RefriGerated storage space is in eveTY State~ the 1955survey showed~ but the extent of availability varied signific~tl1among States Capacities ranged from less than 100000 cubic feet in WyoInink to 96 million in ~iashington See fig 5 for the changes in gross refrigerated space b1 States since 1953

Four States--Ilashington New York~ California~ and Illinois-had 42 percent of the national storage capacity (figc 4) Adding the next four leading StatesshyF1orlda~ Pennsylvania Michigan and New Jersey-increased the total to 5~ percent

Washington was by far theleading State with 96 million cubic feet (table 10) which included almost 70 million cubic feet of apple storage Nal York which ranked second had o~ 19 million cubic feet of apple house space

The emergence of Washington to the forefront is a recent development and is indicative of a trend in the Pacific area Traditional~ NerT York was the leader among States but the 1955 survey showed it had dropped to second position and even this ranking is in jeopardy because of the significant growth in California The total refrigerated capacity in New York totaled 895 million cubic feet on October 1 1955 while the California total was 888 million

From 1945 to 1955 warehOlle capacity in New York increased onlyen 4 million cubic feet hile in Illinois there was a reduction of 4 million The Illinois reduction would have been even greater had there not been an increase of 12 million cubic feet in private and semiprivate space to offset the 16 million cubic feet of space lost in public warehouses and meat packing plants during this period

In contrast to the relative stability of capacity in New York and Illinois the 10-year growth in Washington totaled 31 million cubic feet and in California 49 million The expansion in Washington was primari~ apple houses In Califorshynia the increase was mostly additions to public general and private and semishyprivate general space

Public General Warehouses

Although the overall storage capacity in New York has been relatively stable these ast 10 years public general space in the State was the largest reported by any State-58 million cubic feet California the next leading State had 49 milshylion followed by 46 million in Illinois (table II) These three States have alshymost one-tl-tird of the total public general space in the country From 1945 to 1955 Kansas and Florida each added about 13 million cubic feet to bring their puolic general capacity to 21 and 17 million cubic feet~ respectively Qnly New JerseY~ Pennsylvania~ Missouri~ and Texas ~ had more public general space than KansasJ which ranked 8th in the country

Private and Semiprivate General Warehouses

The distribution of private and semiprivate space (table 12) was quite differshyent from public general California was in the forefront with New York fourth behind Florida and Illinois California with 28 million cubic feet had almost as much as the second and third ranking States combined Floridas capacity at 18 million gross cubic feet was almost as large as the capacity in Illip~is and New York l1itilllrcIl~f_W~

Meat Packing Plants

Illinois Missouri and Iowa in the order named were the important cold storage States for the meat packing industry (table 13) Capacitywise they were about equal with a slight edge in favor of Illinois and collectivel3 they account- ed for 30 percent by the meat pacldng space in the country From 1945 to 1955 their capacity has been declining Some of this decrease is due to a reclassificashytion of storage space which excluded certain refrigerated space in later surveys and in part to an abandomnent of storage space in certain areas

Apple Hous

Two areas Pacific and l-1iddle Atlantic had the major share of apple storage space in the country Washington storages with 44 percent of the national tlttal and New York with 12 percent rank far ahead of all other States (table 14 1 and 16)

Next in order of importance were Virginia Michigan Oregon and California The six leading States with 83 percent of the available apple house capacity also accounted for 37 percent of the national space in the country capable of holding temperatures above 00 F bull

REFRIGERATED STORAGE CAPACITY BY CITlES v Chicago continues to maintalll its leadership aJllODg all cities as a center of

cold storage space The degree of concentration of space in the Chic~go metropolshyi tan area is given in table 11 along with the capacities of 23 other metropolitan areas in the country

Over 51 million gross cubic feet of space was in Chicago on Octobe~l 1955 about 10 million more than the second ranked city ~lew York Chicagos capacity was almost equal to the combined capacities found in Boston Detroit Kansas City Buffalo Minneapolis and St Paul In t1e order named these cities comprise the lower half of the 10 leading storage centers on a capacity basis

Los Angeles was in third position with almost 22 million cubic feet only about half as much as in Greater New York Ranking fourth and fifth with almost equal capacity was St Louis and Philadelphia respectively

The three ranking areas in 1955 accounted for 63 percent of all the r9fligershyated warehouse space in the country Since their share of the national total was bull about the same in 1945 it suggests that forces operating within industry are bringing about a realignment of space Traditionally the Middle Atlantic and East North Central States were the 2 leading storage areas on a capacity basis~ because of the development of space in metropolitan areas to serve vast urban popushylationa However as frozen foods became more acceptable and more and more frozen food products were introduced the need for CP F space in urban areas could only be accommodated by convertirig existing cooler space Construction of new space in these ~as was limited because of high land costs and with the trend toward sinshygle story wdts sizeable land tracts were needed

On the other hand by locating warehouses closer to points of production in areas removed from high land costs tracts were available for constructing considermiddot able storage capaciv in single story units in which greater use could be made of newq developed mechanical handling equipment In CalifOrnia for example 00 F space increased from less than 8 million cubic feet in 102 plants to 44 million in 218 plants from 1945 to 1955 By contrast in New York the State lith the largest capacity in the Middle Atlantic group zero space was increased only from 17 million to 32 million in the comparable period the number of plants increased from 260 w 314 Comparative figures for Illinois are as follows From 1945 to 1955 zero space increased from 21 to 36 million nwnber of plants decreased from 66 to 61

The South Atlantic region is another e1Cal1Ip1e of decentralization of space With the growth of citr-lS concentrate production there was an associated growth

of warehouse capacity In this region in 1945 o~middot 47 million cubic feet of space was in operation Of this amount onlJr 4 million could hold temperatures of ()O F or below The areas rank in the national picture at that time was fifth with 7 percent of the space Ten years later the area still ranked fifth but its capacity had increased to 96 million cubic feet which was 12 percent of the United States total Capacity of ()O F 0 space was up to 52 million cubic feet Almost all of this increase was the result of the construction of new warehouse space in Florida

Opound the remaining areas the West North Central ranked fourth in 1955 with 13 percent of the total national capacity or 104 m1l11on cubic feet Like the Middle Atlantic and East North Central regional the West North Central group has experishyenced a downward trend since 1945 Their share of the national total a decade ago was 17 percent and at that time 10 percentage points separated them from the fifth ranking region the South Atlantic TodayJ only 1 point separates the two The relative ranking of the New England West South Central East South Central and Mountain was the same in 1955 as in 1945 and ranked in the order named While the relative position of these 4 areas did not change they all added substantially to their capacity during the 1945-1955 period except the Mountain States There an increase of o~ 1 million cubic feet was reported

Zero Space

Almost half 1~6 percent of the refrigerated space in the country could hold temperatures of 00 F or below the 1955 survey showed compared with 21 percent in 1945 Of the national total opound 377 million cubic feet of zero space about oneshyfifth flas in the Pacific States This area which ranked first also had more zero space ~e~iW-iiqouses than aIY other region as well as more private and

semiprivate zero space Thusl for the first tlmel the Middle Atlantic group was displaced for the leadership in these classifications In 19451 the Pacific area had only 12 percent ot the zero space in the count1T only 11 percent ot the zero space in public genera1 facilities and less than 3 percent of the zero space in private and semiprivate warehouses

Only one other area could match the growth ot zero space on the West coast and that is the South Atlantic where the growth was even greater The South Atlantic capacity reported on October 11 19551 amounted to 52 million gross cubic feet or about 14 percent of the natioD81 total Only 10 years earlierl about 3 percent of the countrys total or 4 million cubic feet were within the States comprising this region The significant growth experienced in this area is directly associated with the expansion ot space needed to accommodate the citrus industry During the 1945-1955 periodl the capacity of zero space in public genera1 facilities in the region was increased by 28 million cubic feet while in private and semiprivate tacilities the increase totaled 19 million cubic feet See fig 2 for the distri shybution of zero space I by type of warehousel and fig~ 3 for regional distribution

From a national standpointl the capacity of space capable of holding temperashytures of CO F or below has changed considerably since 1945 but the rea1 change is in the geographic distribution of this space Capacity o zero space is increasshying in all areas but it is increasing at a more rapid rate in new centers of storshyagel notably in Floridal Washingtonl Oregon and California In 19551 abOut 45 percent of the national total was in 5 regions-50uth At1anticl East 8hd West South Centrall Mountain and Pacific In 1945 they accounted for onQr 23 percent ot the total This upward trend is at the expense of 4 regions-New Englandl Middle Atlanticl East and West North Centra1-tJhich are expEriencing a corresponding loss ot the national share In 1945 their combined capacity of zero space was equivashylent to 77 percent of the total compared with 55 percent in 1955

See tables 6 to 9 inclusivel for a regional breakdown of refrigerated storage capacity in meat packing plants and apple houses

Public General Warehouses y In 19551 the Middle Atlantic region was the most important in terms of public

general space Of the 464 million cubic feet of public space in the countryl 22 percent--lOl miliion cubic feet--was in Middle Atlantic States (table 4) This capacitV surpassed the next leading area East Northmiddot Central by- almost 8 million cubic feet Also there were more public general warehouces in the Middle Atlantic group than in ~ other--l41 plants

The first and second ranking areas with public general space~ddle Atlantic and East North Central-had cOlparatively the same capacity in 1955 as in 1945 and the same relative rank as then As a matter of factI the order of ranking Cor each region in 1955 was identical to the 1945 ranking which is as follows I starting with the third position Pacificl West North Central South Atlanticl West South Centrall New England East South Central and Mountain

epproximatelJr the same public general warehouse capacit) as in 1945 Be~ause of their preponderant warehotlSe capacity developed over a period of ~ years each held their relative rank in the national picture Butwhere the Middle Atlantic States accounted for 28 percent of the public space in 1945 only 22 pelCent of the total was in this area ~ 1955 In the East North Central States public genshyeral space dropped from 26 percent of the total in 1945 to 20 percent in 1955 It thus appears the two areas that have ranked first and second consistently for 10 years are steadily losing grolUld The capacity of space classified as public general is becoming larger nationally but apparently it is not increasing as rapidshyly in the Middle Atlantic and East North Central States as in other regions

For example in the third ranking area the Pacific ooast public general space increased from 14 percent of the national total to 17 percent during the 10 year period ended 1955 During the same period the relative share of the national public warehouse space located in West North Central States increased from 11 pershycent to 14 percent while in the South Atlantic area the increase was from 7 to 11 percent Lesser increases or no changeS were reported from the 4 remaining areas but each showed more public general space than in 1945

It is reasonable to conclude that the change in distribution of public general warehouse ~pace shows a trend on the part of public warehousemen to locate their plants away from traditional centers of storage The fact that the 8 States comshyprising the Middle Atlantic and East North Central regions have shown comparatively little change in public general warehouse capacity in 10 years is in contrast to the national increase of 112 million cubic feet during this period It is signifi shycant also that whereas these 2 regions formerly accounted for about 54 percent of all the public general space in the country in 1945 they account for only 42 percent in 1955

Private and Semi2rivate Gel~zal_W~~lt~s_~ JI Refrigerated storage space classified as private and semiprivate general is a

minor portion of the overall national capacity Of the total 813 million cubic feet only about 15 percent 121 million was private and semiprivate on October 1 1955 (tab1e 5)

This industry has increased in both number of plants and capacity and in every region in the past 10 years In 1945 the 343 private and semiprivate plants had a collective storage capacity of 40 million cubic feet By 1955 the munber had grown to ~33 plants with 121 million cubic feet of gross storage space

The largest gain was in the Pacific region Here private and semiprivate space was increased from 8 million in 1945 to 40 million by 1955 In the South Atlantic States meanwhile a building program that started after 1945 netted the area almost 22 million cubic feet of space in 10 years Private and semiprivate capacity in the area in 1945 amounted to a little more than 1 million cubic feet in the 15 plants located there whereas in 1955 almost 23 million cubic feet were in the area The nwnber of plants totaled 51

In order of ranking however the South Atlantic was third because more pri shyvate and semiprivate capacity was in the East North Central States But the difference between these two areas is fast narroying and only 1 nri Ilion cubic feet-shyseparatethemat this time compared with 8 million in 1953

REFRIGERATED STORAGE CAPACITY~ BY STATES

RefriGerated storage space is in eveTY State~ the 1955survey showed~ but the extent of availability varied signific~tl1among States Capacities ranged from less than 100000 cubic feet in WyoInink to 96 million in ~iashington See fig 5 for the changes in gross refrigerated space b1 States since 1953

Four States--Ilashington New York~ California~ and Illinois-had 42 percent of the national storage capacity (figc 4) Adding the next four leading StatesshyF1orlda~ Pennsylvania Michigan and New Jersey-increased the total to 5~ percent

Washington was by far theleading State with 96 million cubic feet (table 10) which included almost 70 million cubic feet of apple storage Nal York which ranked second had o~ 19 million cubic feet of apple house space

The emergence of Washington to the forefront is a recent development and is indicative of a trend in the Pacific area Traditional~ NerT York was the leader among States but the 1955 survey showed it had dropped to second position and even this ranking is in jeopardy because of the significant growth in California The total refrigerated capacity in New York totaled 895 million cubic feet on October 1 1955 while the California total was 888 million

From 1945 to 1955 warehOlle capacity in New York increased onlyen 4 million cubic feet hile in Illinois there was a reduction of 4 million The Illinois reduction would have been even greater had there not been an increase of 12 million cubic feet in private and semiprivate space to offset the 16 million cubic feet of space lost in public warehouses and meat packing plants during this period

In contrast to the relative stability of capacity in New York and Illinois the 10-year growth in Washington totaled 31 million cubic feet and in California 49 million The expansion in Washington was primari~ apple houses In Califorshynia the increase was mostly additions to public general and private and semishyprivate general space

Although the overall storage capacity in New York has been relatively stable these ast 10 years public general space in the State was the largest reported by any State-58 million cubic feet California the next leading State had 49 milshylion followed by 46 million in Illinois (table II) These three States have alshymost one-tl-tird of the total public general space in the country From 1945 to 1955 Kansas and Florida each added about 13 million cubic feet to bring their puolic general capacity to 21 and 17 million cubic feet~ respectively Qnly New JerseY~ Pennsylvania~ Missouri~ and Texas ~ had more public general space than KansasJ which ranked 8th in the country

Private and Semiprivate General Warehouses

The distribution of private and semiprivate space (table 12) was quite differshyent from public general California was in the forefront with New York fourth behind Florida and Illinois California with 28 million cubic feet had almost as much as the second and third ranking States combined Floridas capacity at 18 million gross cubic feet was almost as large as the capacity in Illip~is and New York l1itilllrcIl~f_W~

Meat Packing Plants

Illinois Missouri and Iowa in the order named were the important cold storage States for the meat packing industry (table 13) Capacitywise they were about equal with a slight edge in favor of Illinois and collectivel3 they account- ed for 30 percent by the meat pacldng space in the country From 1945 to 1955 their capacity has been declining Some of this decrease is due to a reclassificashytion of storage space which excluded certain refrigerated space in later surveys and in part to an abandomnent of storage space in certain areas

Apple Hous

Two areas Pacific and l-1iddle Atlantic had the major share of apple storage space in the country Washington storages with 44 percent of the national tlttal and New York with 12 percent rank far ahead of all other States (table 14 1 and 16)

Next in order of importance were Virginia Michigan Oregon and California The six leading States with 83 percent of the available apple house capacity also accounted for 37 percent of the national space in the country capable of holding temperatures above 00 F bull

REFRIGERATED STORAGE CAPACITY BY CITlES v Chicago continues to maintalll its leadership aJllODg all cities as a center of

cold storage space The degree of concentration of space in the Chic~go metropolshyi tan area is given in table 11 along with the capacities of 23 other metropolitan areas in the country

Over 51 million gross cubic feet of space was in Chicago on Octobe~l 1955 about 10 million more than the second ranked city ~lew York Chicagos capacity was almost equal to the combined capacities found in Boston Detroit Kansas City Buffalo Minneapolis and St Paul In t1e order named these cities comprise the lower half of the 10 leading storage centers on a capacity basis

Los Angeles was in third position with almost 22 million cubic feet only about half as much as in Greater New York Ranking fourth and fifth with almost equal capacity was St Louis and Philadelphia respectively

Public General Warehouses

The greatest concentration of public general space was located in Greater New York the 1955 survey showed with Chicago second (table lB) New Yorks capacity amounted to 28 IILUlion cubic feet of usable piling space Chicago had 26 millionbull

Los Angeles with 10 million cubic feet of usable space was third followed by Philadelphia and St Louis each with approximately 9 million cubic feet These 5 cities with 82 million cubic feet of usable space comprised 14 percent of the national usable refrigerated capacity and 18 percent of all the ()O F space

The next 5 leading cities--Boston DetrOit Kansas City Dallas and Cleveshyland-had a usable piling capacity total of only 36 million cubic feet (fig 6)~

Meat PaCking Plants

Table 19 lists the refrigerated capacity of selected meat packing locations Chicago and St Louis were by far the leading areas followed by New York Los Angeles and Denver Only those cities haJing 3 or more plants and approximatelJ 1 million cubic feet of usable piling space are listed

semiprivate zero space Thusl for the first tlmel the Middle Atlantic group was displaced for the leadership in these classifications In 19451 the Pacific area had only 12 percent ot the zero space in the count1T only 11 percent ot the zero space in public genera1 facilities and less than 3 percent of the zero space in private and semiprivate warehouses

Only one other area could match the growth ot zero space on the West coast and that is the South Atlantic where the growth was even greater The South Atlantic capacity reported on October 11 19551 amounted to 52 million gross cubic feet or about 14 percent of the natioD81 total Only 10 years earlierl about 3 percent of the countrys total or 4 million cubic feet were within the States comprising this region The significant growth experienced in this area is directly associated with the expansion ot space needed to accommodate the citrus industry During the 1945-1955 periodl the capacity of zero space in public genera1 facilities in the region was increased by 28 million cubic feet while in private and semiprivate tacilities the increase totaled 19 million cubic feet See fig 2 for the distri shybution of zero space I by type of warehousel and fig~ 3 for regional distribution

From a national standpointl the capacity of space capable of holding temperashytures of CO F or below has changed considerably since 1945 but the rea1 change is in the geographic distribution of this space Capacity o zero space is increasshying in all areas but it is increasing at a more rapid rate in new centers of storshyagel notably in Floridal Washingtonl Oregon and California In 19551 abOut 45 percent of the national total was in 5 regions-50uth At1anticl East 8hd West South Centrall Mountain and Pacific In 1945 they accounted for onQr 23 percent ot the total This upward trend is at the expense of 4 regions-New Englandl Middle Atlanticl East and West North Centra1-tJhich are expEriencing a corresponding loss ot the national share In 1945 their combined capacity of zero space was equivashylent to 77 percent of the total compared with 55 percent in 1955

See tables 6 to 9 inclusivel for a regional breakdown of refrigerated storage capacity in meat packing plants and apple houses

Public General Warehouses y In 19551 the Middle Atlantic region was the most important in terms of public

general space Of the 464 million cubic feet of public space in the countryl 22 percent--lOl miliion cubic feet--was in Middle Atlantic States (table 4) This capacitV surpassed the next leading area East Northmiddot Central by- almost 8 million cubic feet Also there were more public general warehouces in the Middle Atlantic group than in ~ other--l41 plants

The first and second ranking areas with public general space~ddle Atlantic and East North Central-had cOlparatively the same capacity in 1955 as in 1945 and the same relative rank as then As a matter of factI the order of ranking Cor each region in 1955 was identical to the 1945 ranking which is as follows I starting with the third position Pacificl West North Central South Atlanticl West South Centrall New England East South Central and Mountain

While the relative rankings fer all regions did not change in the past 10 yearsl significant changes did take place in the relative shares of each region in the national total In the Middle Atlantic and East North Central areasa each had

epproximatelJr the same public general warehouse capacit) as in 1945 Be~ause of their preponderant warehotlSe capacity developed over a period of ~ years each held their relative rank in the national picture Butwhere the Middle Atlantic States accounted for 28 percent of the public space in 1945 only 22 pelCent of the total was in this area ~ 1955 In the East North Central States public genshyeral space dropped from 26 percent of the total in 1945 to 20 percent in 1955 It thus appears the two areas that have ranked first and second consistently for 10 years are steadily losing grolUld The capacity of space classified as public general is becoming larger nationally but apparently it is not increasing as rapidshyly in the Middle Atlantic and East North Central States as in other regions

For example in the third ranking area the Pacific ooast public general space increased from 14 percent of the national total to 17 percent during the 10 year period ended 1955 During the same period the relative share of the national public warehouse space located in West North Central States increased from 11 pershycent to 14 percent while in the South Atlantic area the increase was from 7 to 11 percent Lesser increases or no changeS were reported from the 4 remaining areas but each showed more public general space than in 1945

It is reasonable to conclude that the change in distribution of public general warehouse ~pace shows a trend on the part of public warehousemen to locate their plants away from traditional centers of storage The fact that the 8 States comshyprising the Middle Atlantic and East North Central regions have shown comparatively little change in public general warehouse capacity in 10 years is in contrast to the national increase of 112 million cubic feet during this period It is signifi shycant also that whereas these 2 regions formerly accounted for about 54 percent of all the public general space in the country in 1945 they account for only 42 percent in 1955

Private and Semi2rivate Gel~zal_W~~lt~s_~ JI Refrigerated storage space classified as private and semiprivate general is a

minor portion of the overall national capacity Of the total 813 million cubic feet only about 15 percent 121 million was private and semiprivate on October 1 1955 (tab1e 5)

This industry has increased in both number of plants and capacity and in every region in the past 10 years In 1945 the 343 private and semiprivate plants had a collective storage capacity of 40 million cubic feet By 1955 the munber had grown to ~33 plants with 121 million cubic feet of gross storage space

The largest gain was in the Pacific region Here private and semiprivate space was increased from 8 million in 1945 to 40 million by 1955 In the South Atlantic States meanwhile a building program that started after 1945 netted the area almost 22 million cubic feet of space in 10 years Private and semiprivate capacity in the area in 1945 amounted to a little more than 1 million cubic feet in the 15 plants located there whereas in 1955 almost 23 million cubic feet were in the area The nwnber of plants totaled 51

In order of ranking however the South Atlantic was third because more pri shyvate and semiprivate capacity was in the East North Central States But the difference between these two areas is fast narroying and only 1 nri Ilion cubic feet-shyseparatethemat this time compared with 8 million in 1953

REFRIGERATED STORAGE CAPACITY~ BY STATES

RefriGerated storage space is in eveTY State~ the 1955survey showed~ but the extent of availability varied signific~tl1among States Capacities ranged from less than 100000 cubic feet in WyoInink to 96 million in ~iashington See fig 5 for the changes in gross refrigerated space b1 States since 1953

Four States--Ilashington New York~ California~ and Illinois-had 42 percent of the national storage capacity (figc 4) Adding the next four leading StatesshyF1orlda~ Pennsylvania Michigan and New Jersey-increased the total to 5~ percent

Washington was by far theleading State with 96 million cubic feet (table 10) which included almost 70 million cubic feet of apple storage Nal York which ranked second had o~ 19 million cubic feet of apple house space

The emergence of Washington to the forefront is a recent development and is indicative of a trend in the Pacific area Traditional~ NerT York was the leader among States but the 1955 survey showed it had dropped to second position and even this ranking is in jeopardy because of the significant growth in California The total refrigerated capacity in New York totaled 895 million cubic feet on October 1 1955 while the California total was 888 million

From 1945 to 1955 warehOlle capacity in New York increased onlyen 4 million cubic feet hile in Illinois there was a reduction of 4 million The Illinois reduction would have been even greater had there not been an increase of 12 million cubic feet in private and semiprivate space to offset the 16 million cubic feet of space lost in public warehouses and meat packing plants during this period

In contrast to the relative stability of capacity in New York and Illinois the 10-year growth in Washington totaled 31 million cubic feet and in California 49 million The expansion in Washington was primari~ apple houses In Califorshynia the increase was mostly additions to public general and private and semishyprivate general space

Public General Warehouses

Although the overall storage capacity in New York has been relatively stable these ast 10 years public general space in the State was the largest reported by any State-58 million cubic feet California the next leading State had 49 milshylion followed by 46 million in Illinois (table II) These three States have alshymost one-tl-tird of the total public general space in the country From 1945 to 1955 Kansas and Florida each added about 13 million cubic feet to bring their puolic general capacity to 21 and 17 million cubic feet~ respectively Qnly New JerseY~ Pennsylvania~ Missouri~ and Texas ~ had more public general space than KansasJ which ranked 8th in the country

Private and Semiprivate General Warehouses

The distribution of private and semiprivate space (table 12) was quite differshyent from public general California was in the forefront with New York fourth behind Florida and Illinois California with 28 million cubic feet had almost as much as the second and third ranking States combined Floridas capacity at 18 million gross cubic feet was almost as large as the capacity in Illip~is and New York l1itilllrcIl~f_W~

Meat Packing Plants

Illinois Missouri and Iowa in the order named were the important cold storage States for the meat packing industry (table 13) Capacitywise they were about equal with a slight edge in favor of Illinois and collectivel3 they account- ed for 30 percent by the meat pacldng space in the country From 1945 to 1955 their capacity has been declining Some of this decrease is due to a reclassificashytion of storage space which excluded certain refrigerated space in later surveys and in part to an abandomnent of storage space in certain areas

Apple Hous

Two areas Pacific and l-1iddle Atlantic had the major share of apple storage space in the country Washington storages with 44 percent of the national tlttal and New York with 12 percent rank far ahead of all other States (table 14 1 and 16)

Next in order of importance were Virginia Michigan Oregon and California The six leading States with 83 percent of the available apple house capacity also accounted for 37 percent of the national space in the country capable of holding temperatures above 00 F bull

REFRIGERATED STORAGE CAPACITY BY CITlES v Chicago continues to maintalll its leadership aJllODg all cities as a center of

cold storage space The degree of concentration of space in the Chic~go metropolshyi tan area is given in table 11 along with the capacities of 23 other metropolitan areas in the country

Over 51 million gross cubic feet of space was in Chicago on Octobe~l 1955 about 10 million more than the second ranked city ~lew York Chicagos capacity was almost equal to the combined capacities found in Boston Detroit Kansas City Buffalo Minneapolis and St Paul In t1e order named these cities comprise the lower half of the 10 leading storage centers on a capacity basis

Los Angeles was in third position with almost 22 million cubic feet only about half as much as in Greater New York Ranking fourth and fifth with almost equal capacity was St Louis and Philadelphia respectively

semiprivate zero space Thusl for the first tlmel the Middle Atlantic group was displaced for the leadership in these classifications In 19451 the Pacific area had only 12 percent ot the zero space in the count1T only 11 percent ot the zero space in public genera1 facilities and less than 3 percent of the zero space in private and semiprivate warehouses

Only one other area could match the growth ot zero space on the West coast and that is the South Atlantic where the growth was even greater The South Atlantic capacity reported on October 11 19551 amounted to 52 million gross cubic feet or about 14 percent of the natioD81 total Only 10 years earlierl about 3 percent of the countrys total or 4 million cubic feet were within the States comprising this region The significant growth experienced in this area is directly associated with the expansion ot space needed to accommodate the citrus industry During the 1945-1955 periodl the capacity of zero space in public genera1 facilities in the region was increased by 28 million cubic feet while in private and semiprivate tacilities the increase totaled 19 million cubic feet See fig 2 for the distri shybution of zero space I by type of warehousel and fig~ 3 for regional distribution

From a national standpointl the capacity of space capable of holding temperashytures of CO F or below has changed considerably since 1945 but the rea1 change is in the geographic distribution of this space Capacity o zero space is increasshying in all areas but it is increasing at a more rapid rate in new centers of storshyagel notably in Floridal Washingtonl Oregon and California In 19551 abOut 45 percent of the national total was in 5 regions-50uth At1anticl East 8hd West South Centrall Mountain and Pacific In 1945 they accounted for onQr 23 percent ot the total This upward trend is at the expense of 4 regions-New Englandl Middle Atlanticl East and West North Centra1-tJhich are expEriencing a corresponding loss ot the national share In 1945 their combined capacity of zero space was equivashylent to 77 percent of the total compared with 55 percent in 1955

See tables 6 to 9 inclusivel for a regional breakdown of refrigerated storage capacity in meat packing plants and apple houses

Public General Warehouses y In 19551 the Middle Atlantic region was the most important in terms of public

general space Of the 464 million cubic feet of public space in the countryl 22 percent--lOl miliion cubic feet--was in Middle Atlantic States (table 4) This capacitV surpassed the next leading area East Northmiddot Central by- almost 8 million cubic feet Also there were more public general warehouces in the Middle Atlantic group than in ~ other--l41 plants

The first and second ranking areas with public general space~ddle Atlantic and East North Central-had cOlparatively the same capacity in 1955 as in 1945 and the same relative rank as then As a matter of factI the order of ranking Cor each region in 1955 was identical to the 1945 ranking which is as follows I starting with the third position Pacificl West North Central South Atlanticl West South Centrall New England East South Central and Mountain

While the relative rankings fer all regions did not change in the past 10 yearsl significant changes did take place in the relative shares of each region in the national total In the Middle Atlantic and East North Central areasa each had

epproximatelJr the same public general warehouse capacit) as in 1945 Be~ause of their preponderant warehotlSe capacity developed over a period of ~ years each held their relative rank in the national picture Butwhere the Middle Atlantic States accounted for 28 percent of the public space in 1945 only 22 pelCent of the total was in this area ~ 1955 In the East North Central States public genshyeral space dropped from 26 percent of the total in 1945 to 20 percent in 1955 It thus appears the two areas that have ranked first and second consistently for 10 years are steadily losing grolUld The capacity of space classified as public general is becoming larger nationally but apparently it is not increasing as rapidshyly in the Middle Atlantic and East North Central States as in other regions

For example in the third ranking area the Pacific ooast public general space increased from 14 percent of the national total to 17 percent during the 10 year period ended 1955 During the same period the relative share of the national public warehouse space located in West North Central States increased from 11 pershycent to 14 percent while in the South Atlantic area the increase was from 7 to 11 percent Lesser increases or no changeS were reported from the 4 remaining areas but each showed more public general space than in 1945

It is reasonable to conclude that the change in distribution of public general warehouse ~pace shows a trend on the part of public warehousemen to locate their plants away from traditional centers of storage The fact that the 8 States comshyprising the Middle Atlantic and East North Central regions have shown comparatively little change in public general warehouse capacity in 10 years is in contrast to the national increase of 112 million cubic feet during this period It is signifi shycant also that whereas these 2 regions formerly accounted for about 54 percent of all the public general space in the country in 1945 they account for only 42 percent in 1955

Private and Semi2rivate Gel~zal_W~~lt~s_~ JI Refrigerated storage space classified as private and semiprivate general is a

minor portion of the overall national capacity Of the total 813 million cubic feet only about 15 percent 121 million was private and semiprivate on October 1 1955 (tab1e 5)

This industry has increased in both number of plants and capacity and in every region in the past 10 years In 1945 the 343 private and semiprivate plants had a collective storage capacity of 40 million cubic feet By 1955 the munber had grown to ~33 plants with 121 million cubic feet of gross storage space

The largest gain was in the Pacific region Here private and semiprivate space was increased from 8 million in 1945 to 40 million by 1955 In the South Atlantic States meanwhile a building program that started after 1945 netted the area almost 22 million cubic feet of space in 10 years Private and semiprivate capacity in the area in 1945 amounted to a little more than 1 million cubic feet in the 15 plants located there whereas in 1955 almost 23 million cubic feet were in the area The nwnber of plants totaled 51

In order of ranking however the South Atlantic was third because more pri shyvate and semiprivate capacity was in the East North Central States But the difference between these two areas is fast narroying and only 1 nri Ilion cubic feet-shyseparatethemat this time compared with 8 million in 1953

REFRIGERATED STORAGE CAPACITY~ BY STATES

RefriGerated storage space is in eveTY State~ the 1955survey showed~ but the extent of availability varied signific~tl1among States Capacities ranged from less than 100000 cubic feet in WyoInink to 96 million in ~iashington See fig 5 for the changes in gross refrigerated space b1 States since 1953

Four States--Ilashington New York~ California~ and Illinois-had 42 percent of the national storage capacity (figc 4) Adding the next four leading StatesshyF1orlda~ Pennsylvania Michigan and New Jersey-increased the total to 5~ percent

Washington was by far theleading State with 96 million cubic feet (table 10) which included almost 70 million cubic feet of apple storage Nal York which ranked second had o~ 19 million cubic feet of apple house space

The emergence of Washington to the forefront is a recent development and is indicative of a trend in the Pacific area Traditional~ NerT York was the leader among States but the 1955 survey showed it had dropped to second position and even this ranking is in jeopardy because of the significant growth in California The total refrigerated capacity in New York totaled 895 million cubic feet on October 1 1955 while the California total was 888 million

From 1945 to 1955 warehOlle capacity in New York increased onlyen 4 million cubic feet hile in Illinois there was a reduction of 4 million The Illinois reduction would have been even greater had there not been an increase of 12 million cubic feet in private and semiprivate space to offset the 16 million cubic feet of space lost in public warehouses and meat packing plants during this period

In contrast to the relative stability of capacity in New York and Illinois the 10-year growth in Washington totaled 31 million cubic feet and in California 49 million The expansion in Washington was primari~ apple houses In Califorshynia the increase was mostly additions to public general and private and semishyprivate general space

Public General Warehouses

Although the overall storage capacity in New York has been relatively stable these ast 10 years public general space in the State was the largest reported by any State-58 million cubic feet California the next leading State had 49 milshylion followed by 46 million in Illinois (table II) These three States have alshymost one-tl-tird of the total public general space in the country From 1945 to 1955 Kansas and Florida each added about 13 million cubic feet to bring their puolic general capacity to 21 and 17 million cubic feet~ respectively Qnly New JerseY~ Pennsylvania~ Missouri~ and Texas ~ had more public general space than KansasJ which ranked 8th in the country

Private and Semiprivate General Warehouses

The distribution of private and semiprivate space (table 12) was quite differshyent from public general California was in the forefront with New York fourth behind Florida and Illinois California with 28 million cubic feet had almost as much as the second and third ranking States combined Floridas capacity at 18 million gross cubic feet was almost as large as the capacity in Illip~is and New York l1itilllrcIl~f_W~

Meat Packing Plants

Illinois Missouri and Iowa in the order named were the important cold storage States for the meat packing industry (table 13) Capacitywise they were about equal with a slight edge in favor of Illinois and collectivel3 they account- ed for 30 percent by the meat pacldng space in the country From 1945 to 1955 their capacity has been declining Some of this decrease is due to a reclassificashytion of storage space which excluded certain refrigerated space in later surveys and in part to an abandomnent of storage space in certain areas

Apple Hous

Two areas Pacific and l-1iddle Atlantic had the major share of apple storage space in the country Washington storages with 44 percent of the national tlttal and New York with 12 percent rank far ahead of all other States (table 14 1 and 16)

Next in order of importance were Virginia Michigan Oregon and California The six leading States with 83 percent of the available apple house capacity also accounted for 37 percent of the national space in the country capable of holding temperatures above 00 F bull

REFRIGERATED STORAGE CAPACITY BY CITlES v Chicago continues to maintalll its leadership aJllODg all cities as a center of

cold storage space The degree of concentration of space in the Chic~go metropolshyi tan area is given in table 11 along with the capacities of 23 other metropolitan areas in the country

Over 51 million gross cubic feet of space was in Chicago on Octobe~l 1955 about 10 million more than the second ranked city ~lew York Chicagos capacity was almost equal to the combined capacities found in Boston Detroit Kansas City Buffalo Minneapolis and St Paul In t1e order named these cities comprise the lower half of the 10 leading storage centers on a capacity basis

Los Angeles was in third position with almost 22 million cubic feet only about half as much as in Greater New York Ranking fourth and fifth with almost equal capacity was St Louis and Philadelphia respectively

semiprivate zero space Thusl for the first tlmel the Middle Atlantic group was displaced for the leadership in these classifications In 19451 the Pacific area had only 12 percent ot the zero space in the count1T only 11 percent ot the zero space in public genera1 facilities and less than 3 percent of the zero space in private and semiprivate warehouses

Only one other area could match the growth ot zero space on the West coast and that is the South Atlantic where the growth was even greater The South Atlantic capacity reported on October 11 19551 amounted to 52 million gross cubic feet or about 14 percent of the natioD81 total Only 10 years earlierl about 3 percent of the countrys total or 4 million cubic feet were within the States comprising this region The significant growth experienced in this area is directly associated with the expansion ot space needed to accommodate the citrus industry During the 1945-1955 periodl the capacity of zero space in public genera1 facilities in the region was increased by 28 million cubic feet while in private and semiprivate tacilities the increase totaled 19 million cubic feet See fig 2 for the distri shybution of zero space I by type of warehousel and fig~ 3 for regional distribution

From a national standpointl the capacity of space capable of holding temperashytures of CO F or below has changed considerably since 1945 but the rea1 change is in the geographic distribution of this space Capacity o zero space is increasshying in all areas but it is increasing at a more rapid rate in new centers of storshyagel notably in Floridal Washingtonl Oregon and California In 19551 abOut 45 percent of the national total was in 5 regions-50uth At1anticl East 8hd West South Centrall Mountain and Pacific In 1945 they accounted for onQr 23 percent ot the total This upward trend is at the expense of 4 regions-New Englandl Middle Atlanticl East and West North Centra1-tJhich are expEriencing a corresponding loss ot the national share In 1945 their combined capacity of zero space was equivashylent to 77 percent of the total compared with 55 percent in 1955

See tables 6 to 9 inclusivel for a regional breakdown of refrigerated storage capacity in meat packing plants and apple houses

Public General Warehouses y In 19551 the Middle Atlantic region was the most important in terms of public

general space Of the 464 million cubic feet of public space in the countryl 22 percent--lOl miliion cubic feet--was in Middle Atlantic States (table 4) This capacitV surpassed the next leading area East Northmiddot Central by- almost 8 million cubic feet Also there were more public general warehouces in the Middle Atlantic group than in ~ other--l41 plants

The first and second ranking areas with public general space~ddle Atlantic and East North Central-had cOlparatively the same capacity in 1955 as in 1945 and the same relative rank as then As a matter of factI the order of ranking Cor each region in 1955 was identical to the 1945 ranking which is as follows I starting with the third position Pacificl West North Central South Atlanticl West South Centrall New England East South Central and Mountain

While the relative rankings fer all regions did not change in the past 10 yearsl significant changes did take place in the relative shares of each region in the national total In the Middle Atlantic and East North Central areasa each had

epproximatelJr the same public general warehouse capacit) as in 1945 Be~ause of their preponderant warehotlSe capacity developed over a period of ~ years each held their relative rank in the national picture Butwhere the Middle Atlantic States accounted for 28 percent of the public space in 1945 only 22 pelCent of the total was in this area ~ 1955 In the East North Central States public genshyeral space dropped from 26 percent of the total in 1945 to 20 percent in 1955 It thus appears the two areas that have ranked first and second consistently for 10 years are steadily losing grolUld The capacity of space classified as public general is becoming larger nationally but apparently it is not increasing as rapidshyly in the Middle Atlantic and East North Central States as in other regions

For example in the third ranking area the Pacific ooast public general space increased from 14 percent of the national total to 17 percent during the 10 year period ended 1955 During the same period the relative share of the national public warehouse space located in West North Central States increased from 11 pershycent to 14 percent while in the South Atlantic area the increase was from 7 to 11 percent Lesser increases or no changeS were reported from the 4 remaining areas but each showed more public general space than in 1945

It is reasonable to conclude that the change in distribution of public general warehouse ~pace shows a trend on the part of public warehousemen to locate their plants away from traditional centers of storage The fact that the 8 States comshyprising the Middle Atlantic and East North Central regions have shown comparatively little change in public general warehouse capacity in 10 years is in contrast to the national increase of 112 million cubic feet during this period It is signifi shycant also that whereas these 2 regions formerly accounted for about 54 percent of all the public general space in the country in 1945 they account for only 42 percent in 1955

Private and Semi2rivate Gel~zal_W~~lt~s_~ JI Refrigerated storage space classified as private and semiprivate general is a

minor portion of the overall national capacity Of the total 813 million cubic feet only about 15 percent 121 million was private and semiprivate on October 1 1955 (tab1e 5)

This industry has increased in both number of plants and capacity and in every region in the past 10 years In 1945 the 343 private and semiprivate plants had a collective storage capacity of 40 million cubic feet By 1955 the munber had grown to ~33 plants with 121 million cubic feet of gross storage space

The largest gain was in the Pacific region Here private and semiprivate space was increased from 8 million in 1945 to 40 million by 1955 In the South Atlantic States meanwhile a building program that started after 1945 netted the area almost 22 million cubic feet of space in 10 years Private and semiprivate capacity in the area in 1945 amounted to a little more than 1 million cubic feet in the 15 plants located there whereas in 1955 almost 23 million cubic feet were in the area The nwnber of plants totaled 51

In order of ranking however the South Atlantic was third because more pri shyvate and semiprivate capacity was in the East North Central States But the difference between these two areas is fast narroying and only 1 nri Ilion cubic feet-shyseparatethemat this time compared with 8 million in 1953

REFRIGERATED STORAGE CAPACITY~ BY STATES

RefriGerated storage space is in eveTY State~ the 1955survey showed~ but the extent of availability varied signific~tl1among States Capacities ranged from less than 100000 cubic feet in WyoInink to 96 million in ~iashington See fig 5 for the changes in gross refrigerated space b1 States since 1953

Four States--Ilashington New York~ California~ and Illinois-had 42 percent of the national storage capacity (figc 4) Adding the next four leading StatesshyF1orlda~ Pennsylvania Michigan and New Jersey-increased the total to 5~ percent

Washington was by far theleading State with 96 million cubic feet (table 10) which included almost 70 million cubic feet of apple storage Nal York which ranked second had o~ 19 million cubic feet of apple house space

The emergence of Washington to the forefront is a recent development and is indicative of a trend in the Pacific area Traditional~ NerT York was the leader among States but the 1955 survey showed it had dropped to second position and even this ranking is in jeopardy because of the significant growth in California The total refrigerated capacity in New York totaled 895 million cubic feet on October 1 1955 while the California total was 888 million

From 1945 to 1955 warehOlle capacity in New York increased onlyen 4 million cubic feet hile in Illinois there was a reduction of 4 million The Illinois reduction would have been even greater had there not been an increase of 12 million cubic feet in private and semiprivate space to offset the 16 million cubic feet of space lost in public warehouses and meat packing plants during this period

In contrast to the relative stability of capacity in New York and Illinois the 10-year growth in Washington totaled 31 million cubic feet and in California 49 million The expansion in Washington was primari~ apple houses In Califorshynia the increase was mostly additions to public general and private and semishyprivate general space

Public General Warehouses

Although the overall storage capacity in New York has been relatively stable these ast 10 years public general space in the State was the largest reported by any State-58 million cubic feet California the next leading State had 49 milshylion followed by 46 million in Illinois (table II) These three States have alshymost one-tl-tird of the total public general space in the country From 1945 to 1955 Kansas and Florida each added about 13 million cubic feet to bring their puolic general capacity to 21 and 17 million cubic feet~ respectively Qnly New JerseY~ Pennsylvania~ Missouri~ and Texas ~ had more public general space than KansasJ which ranked 8th in the country

Private and Semiprivate General Warehouses

The distribution of private and semiprivate space (table 12) was quite differshyent from public general California was in the forefront with New York fourth behind Florida and Illinois California with 28 million cubic feet had almost as much as the second and third ranking States combined Floridas capacity at 18 million gross cubic feet was almost as large as the capacity in Illip~is and New York l1itilllrcIl~f_W~

Meat Packing Plants

Illinois Missouri and Iowa in the order named were the important cold storage States for the meat packing industry (table 13) Capacitywise they were about equal with a slight edge in favor of Illinois and collectivel3 they account- ed for 30 percent by the meat pacldng space in the country From 1945 to 1955 their capacity has been declining Some of this decrease is due to a reclassificashytion of storage space which excluded certain refrigerated space in later surveys and in part to an abandomnent of storage space in certain areas

Apple Hous

Two areas Pacific and l-1iddle Atlantic had the major share of apple storage space in the country Washington storages with 44 percent of the national tlttal and New York with 12 percent rank far ahead of all other States (table 14 1 and 16)

Next in order of importance were Virginia Michigan Oregon and California The six leading States with 83 percent of the available apple house capacity also accounted for 37 percent of the national space in the country capable of holding temperatures above 00 F bull

REFRIGERATED STORAGE CAPACITY BY CITlES v Chicago continues to maintalll its leadership aJllODg all cities as a center of

cold storage space The degree of concentration of space in the Chic~go metropolshyi tan area is given in table 11 along with the capacities of 23 other metropolitan areas in the country

Over 51 million gross cubic feet of space was in Chicago on Octobe~l 1955 about 10 million more than the second ranked city ~lew York Chicagos capacity was almost equal to the combined capacities found in Boston Detroit Kansas City Buffalo Minneapolis and St Paul In t1e order named these cities comprise the lower half of the 10 leading storage centers on a capacity basis

Los Angeles was in third position with almost 22 million cubic feet only about half as much as in Greater New York Ranking fourth and fifth with almost equal capacity was St Louis and Philadelphia respectively

epproximatelJr the same public general warehouse capacit) as in 1945 Be~ause of their preponderant warehotlSe capacity developed over a period of ~ years each held their relative rank in the national picture Butwhere the Middle Atlantic States accounted for 28 percent of the public space in 1945 only 22 pelCent of the total was in this area ~ 1955 In the East North Central States public genshyeral space dropped from 26 percent of the total in 1945 to 20 percent in 1955 It thus appears the two areas that have ranked first and second consistently for 10 years are steadily losing grolUld The capacity of space classified as public general is becoming larger nationally but apparently it is not increasing as rapidshyly in the Middle Atlantic and East North Central States as in other regions

For example in the third ranking area the Pacific ooast public general space increased from 14 percent of the national total to 17 percent during the 10 year period ended 1955 During the same period the relative share of the national public warehouse space located in West North Central States increased from 11 pershycent to 14 percent while in the South Atlantic area the increase was from 7 to 11 percent Lesser increases or no changeS were reported from the 4 remaining areas but each showed more public general space than in 1945

It is reasonable to conclude that the change in distribution of public general warehouse ~pace shows a trend on the part of public warehousemen to locate their plants away from traditional centers of storage The fact that the 8 States comshyprising the Middle Atlantic and East North Central regions have shown comparatively little change in public general warehouse capacity in 10 years is in contrast to the national increase of 112 million cubic feet during this period It is signifi shycant also that whereas these 2 regions formerly accounted for about 54 percent of all the public general space in the country in 1945 they account for only 42 percent in 1955

Private and Semi2rivate Gel~zal_W~~lt~s_~ JI Refrigerated storage space classified as private and semiprivate general is a

minor portion of the overall national capacity Of the total 813 million cubic feet only about 15 percent 121 million was private and semiprivate on October 1 1955 (tab1e 5)

This industry has increased in both number of plants and capacity and in every region in the past 10 years In 1945 the 343 private and semiprivate plants had a collective storage capacity of 40 million cubic feet By 1955 the munber had grown to ~33 plants with 121 million cubic feet of gross storage space

The largest gain was in the Pacific region Here private and semiprivate space was increased from 8 million in 1945 to 40 million by 1955 In the South Atlantic States meanwhile a building program that started after 1945 netted the area almost 22 million cubic feet of space in 10 years Private and semiprivate capacity in the area in 1945 amounted to a little more than 1 million cubic feet in the 15 plants located there whereas in 1955 almost 23 million cubic feet were in the area The nwnber of plants totaled 51

In order of ranking however the South Atlantic was third because more pri shyvate and semiprivate capacity was in the East North Central States But the difference between these two areas is fast narroying and only 1 nri Ilion cubic feet-shyseparatethemat this time compared with 8 million in 1953

REFRIGERATED STORAGE CAPACITY~ BY STATES

RefriGerated storage space is in eveTY State~ the 1955survey showed~ but the extent of availability varied signific~tl1among States Capacities ranged from less than 100000 cubic feet in WyoInink to 96 million in ~iashington See fig 5 for the changes in gross refrigerated space b1 States since 1953

Four States--Ilashington New York~ California~ and Illinois-had 42 percent of the national storage capacity (figc 4) Adding the next four leading StatesshyF1orlda~ Pennsylvania Michigan and New Jersey-increased the total to 5~ percent

Washington was by far theleading State with 96 million cubic feet (table 10) which included almost 70 million cubic feet of apple storage Nal York which ranked second had o~ 19 million cubic feet of apple house space

The emergence of Washington to the forefront is a recent development and is indicative of a trend in the Pacific area Traditional~ NerT York was the leader among States but the 1955 survey showed it had dropped to second position and even this ranking is in jeopardy because of the significant growth in California The total refrigerated capacity in New York totaled 895 million cubic feet on October 1 1955 while the California total was 888 million

From 1945 to 1955 warehOlle capacity in New York increased onlyen 4 million cubic feet hile in Illinois there was a reduction of 4 million The Illinois reduction would have been even greater had there not been an increase of 12 million cubic feet in private and semiprivate space to offset the 16 million cubic feet of space lost in public warehouses and meat packing plants during this period

In contrast to the relative stability of capacity in New York and Illinois the 10-year growth in Washington totaled 31 million cubic feet and in California 49 million The expansion in Washington was primari~ apple houses In Califorshynia the increase was mostly additions to public general and private and semishyprivate general space

Public General Warehouses

Although the overall storage capacity in New York has been relatively stable these ast 10 years public general space in the State was the largest reported by any State-58 million cubic feet California the next leading State had 49 milshylion followed by 46 million in Illinois (table II) These three States have alshymost one-tl-tird of the total public general space in the country From 1945 to 1955 Kansas and Florida each added about 13 million cubic feet to bring their puolic general capacity to 21 and 17 million cubic feet~ respectively Qnly New JerseY~ Pennsylvania~ Missouri~ and Texas ~ had more public general space than KansasJ which ranked 8th in the country

Private and Semiprivate General Warehouses

The distribution of private and semiprivate space (table 12) was quite differshyent from public general California was in the forefront with New York fourth behind Florida and Illinois California with 28 million cubic feet had almost as much as the second and third ranking States combined Floridas capacity at 18 million gross cubic feet was almost as large as the capacity in Illip~is and New York l1itilllrcIl~f_W~

Meat Packing Plants

Illinois Missouri and Iowa in the order named were the important cold storage States for the meat packing industry (table 13) Capacitywise they were about equal with a slight edge in favor of Illinois and collectivel3 they account- ed for 30 percent by the meat pacldng space in the country From 1945 to 1955 their capacity has been declining Some of this decrease is due to a reclassificashytion of storage space which excluded certain refrigerated space in later surveys and in part to an abandomnent of storage space in certain areas

Apple Hous

Two areas Pacific and l-1iddle Atlantic had the major share of apple storage space in the country Washington storages with 44 percent of the national tlttal and New York with 12 percent rank far ahead of all other States (table 14 1 and 16)

Next in order of importance were Virginia Michigan Oregon and California The six leading States with 83 percent of the available apple house capacity also accounted for 37 percent of the national space in the country capable of holding temperatures above 00 F bull

REFRIGERATED STORAGE CAPACITY BY CITlES v Chicago continues to maintalll its leadership aJllODg all cities as a center of

cold storage space The degree of concentration of space in the Chic~go metropolshyi tan area is given in table 11 along with the capacities of 23 other metropolitan areas in the country

Over 51 million gross cubic feet of space was in Chicago on Octobe~l 1955 about 10 million more than the second ranked city ~lew York Chicagos capacity was almost equal to the combined capacities found in Boston Detroit Kansas City Buffalo Minneapolis and St Paul In t1e order named these cities comprise the lower half of the 10 leading storage centers on a capacity basis

Los Angeles was in third position with almost 22 million cubic feet only about half as much as in Greater New York Ranking fourth and fifth with almost equal capacity was St Louis and Philadelphia respectively

Public General Warehouses

The greatest concentration of public general space was located in Greater New York the 1955 survey showed with Chicago second (table lB) New Yorks capacity amounted to 28 IILUlion cubic feet of usable piling space Chicago had 26 millionbull

Los Angeles with 10 million cubic feet of usable space was third followed by Philadelphia and St Louis each with approximately 9 million cubic feet These 5 cities with 82 million cubic feet of usable space comprised 14 percent of the national usable refrigerated capacity and 18 percent of all the ()O F space

The next 5 leading cities--Boston DetrOit Kansas City Dallas and Cleveshyland-had a usable piling capacity total of only 36 million cubic feet (fig 6)~

Meat PaCking Plants

Table 19 lists the refrigerated capacity of selected meat packing locations Chicago and St Louis were by far the leading areas followed by New York Los Angeles and Denver Only those cities haJing 3 or more plants and approximatelJ 1 million cubic feet of usable piling space are listed

4 Prior to 1955 warehouse capacities for each of the cities listed includshyed alI space within the city named and within a radius of 25 miles Begiluting with this survey cities are in each instance standard metropolitan areas which are urban centers containing at least one city of 50000 population or more and in cludefelau2trwa~~sely linked surrounding area

epproximatelJr the same public general warehouse capacit) as in 1945 Be~ause of their preponderant warehotlSe capacity developed over a period of ~ years each held their relative rank in the national picture Butwhere the Middle Atlantic States accounted for 28 percent of the public space in 1945 only 22 pelCent of the total was in this area ~ 1955 In the East North Central States public genshyeral space dropped from 26 percent of the total in 1945 to 20 percent in 1955 It thus appears the two areas that have ranked first and second consistently for 10 years are steadily losing grolUld The capacity of space classified as public general is becoming larger nationally but apparently it is not increasing as rapidshyly in the Middle Atlantic and East North Central States as in other regions

For example in the third ranking area the Pacific ooast public general space increased from 14 percent of the national total to 17 percent during the 10 year period ended 1955 During the same period the relative share of the national public warehouse space located in West North Central States increased from 11 pershycent to 14 percent while in the South Atlantic area the increase was from 7 to 11 percent Lesser increases or no changeS were reported from the 4 remaining areas but each showed more public general space than in 1945

It is reasonable to conclude that the change in distribution of public general warehouse ~pace shows a trend on the part of public warehousemen to locate their plants away from traditional centers of storage The fact that the 8 States comshyprising the Middle Atlantic and East North Central regions have shown comparatively little change in public general warehouse capacity in 10 years is in contrast to the national increase of 112 million cubic feet during this period It is signifi shycant also that whereas these 2 regions formerly accounted for about 54 percent of all the public general space in the country in 1945 they account for only 42 percent in 1955

Private and Semi2rivate Gel~zal_W~~lt~s_~ JI Refrigerated storage space classified as private and semiprivate general is a

minor portion of the overall national capacity Of the total 813 million cubic feet only about 15 percent 121 million was private and semiprivate on October 1 1955 (tab1e 5)

This industry has increased in both number of plants and capacity and in every region in the past 10 years In 1945 the 343 private and semiprivate plants had a collective storage capacity of 40 million cubic feet By 1955 the munber had grown to ~33 plants with 121 million cubic feet of gross storage space

The largest gain was in the Pacific region Here private and semiprivate space was increased from 8 million in 1945 to 40 million by 1955 In the South Atlantic States meanwhile a building program that started after 1945 netted the area almost 22 million cubic feet of space in 10 years Private and semiprivate capacity in the area in 1945 amounted to a little more than 1 million cubic feet in the 15 plants located there whereas in 1955 almost 23 million cubic feet were in the area The nwnber of plants totaled 51

In order of ranking however the South Atlantic was third because more pri shyvate and semiprivate capacity was in the East North Central States But the difference between these two areas is fast narroying and only 1 nri Ilion cubic feet-shyseparatethemat this time compared with 8 million in 1953

REFRIGERATED STORAGE CAPACITY~ BY STATES

RefriGerated storage space is in eveTY State~ the 1955survey showed~ but the extent of availability varied signific~tl1among States Capacities ranged from less than 100000 cubic feet in WyoInink to 96 million in ~iashington See fig 5 for the changes in gross refrigerated space b1 States since 1953

Four States--Ilashington New York~ California~ and Illinois-had 42 percent of the national storage capacity (figc 4) Adding the next four leading StatesshyF1orlda~ Pennsylvania Michigan and New Jersey-increased the total to 5~ percent

Washington was by far theleading State with 96 million cubic feet (table 10) which included almost 70 million cubic feet of apple storage Nal York which ranked second had o~ 19 million cubic feet of apple house space

The emergence of Washington to the forefront is a recent development and is indicative of a trend in the Pacific area Traditional~ NerT York was the leader among States but the 1955 survey showed it had dropped to second position and even this ranking is in jeopardy because of the significant growth in California The total refrigerated capacity in New York totaled 895 million cubic feet on October 1 1955 while the California total was 888 million

From 1945 to 1955 warehOlle capacity in New York increased onlyen 4 million cubic feet hile in Illinois there was a reduction of 4 million The Illinois reduction would have been even greater had there not been an increase of 12 million cubic feet in private and semiprivate space to offset the 16 million cubic feet of space lost in public warehouses and meat packing plants during this period

In contrast to the relative stability of capacity in New York and Illinois the 10-year growth in Washington totaled 31 million cubic feet and in California 49 million The expansion in Washington was primari~ apple houses In Califorshynia the increase was mostly additions to public general and private and semishyprivate general space

Public General Warehouses

Although the overall storage capacity in New York has been relatively stable these ast 10 years public general space in the State was the largest reported by any State-58 million cubic feet California the next leading State had 49 milshylion followed by 46 million in Illinois (table II) These three States have alshymost one-tl-tird of the total public general space in the country From 1945 to 1955 Kansas and Florida each added about 13 million cubic feet to bring their puolic general capacity to 21 and 17 million cubic feet~ respectively Qnly New JerseY~ Pennsylvania~ Missouri~ and Texas ~ had more public general space than KansasJ which ranked 8th in the country

Private and Semiprivate General Warehouses

The distribution of private and semiprivate space (table 12) was quite differshyent from public general California was in the forefront with New York fourth behind Florida and Illinois California with 28 million cubic feet had almost as much as the second and third ranking States combined Floridas capacity at 18 million gross cubic feet was almost as large as the capacity in Illip~is and New York l1itilllrcIl~f_W~

Meat Packing Plants

Illinois Missouri and Iowa in the order named were the important cold storage States for the meat packing industry (table 13) Capacitywise they were about equal with a slight edge in favor of Illinois and collectivel3 they account- ed for 30 percent by the meat pacldng space in the country From 1945 to 1955 their capacity has been declining Some of this decrease is due to a reclassificashytion of storage space which excluded certain refrigerated space in later surveys and in part to an abandomnent of storage space in certain areas

Apple Hous

Two areas Pacific and l-1iddle Atlantic had the major share of apple storage space in the country Washington storages with 44 percent of the national tlttal and New York with 12 percent rank far ahead of all other States (table 14 1 and 16)

Next in order of importance were Virginia Michigan Oregon and California The six leading States with 83 percent of the available apple house capacity also accounted for 37 percent of the national space in the country capable of holding temperatures above 00 F bull

REFRIGERATED STORAGE CAPACITY BY CITlES v Chicago continues to maintalll its leadership aJllODg all cities as a center of

cold storage space The degree of concentration of space in the Chic~go metropolshyi tan area is given in table 11 along with the capacities of 23 other metropolitan areas in the country

Over 51 million gross cubic feet of space was in Chicago on Octobe~l 1955 about 10 million more than the second ranked city ~lew York Chicagos capacity was almost equal to the combined capacities found in Boston Detroit Kansas City Buffalo Minneapolis and St Paul In t1e order named these cities comprise the lower half of the 10 leading storage centers on a capacity basis

Los Angeles was in third position with almost 22 million cubic feet only about half as much as in Greater New York Ranking fourth and fifth with almost equal capacity was St Louis and Philadelphia respectively

REFRIGERATED STORAGE CAPACITY~ BY STATES

RefriGerated storage space is in eveTY State~ the 1955survey showed~ but the extent of availability varied signific~tl1among States Capacities ranged from less than 100000 cubic feet in WyoInink to 96 million in ~iashington See fig 5 for the changes in gross refrigerated space b1 States since 1953

Four States--Ilashington New York~ California~ and Illinois-had 42 percent of the national storage capacity (figc 4) Adding the next four leading StatesshyF1orlda~ Pennsylvania Michigan and New Jersey-increased the total to 5~ percent

Washington was by far theleading State with 96 million cubic feet (table 10) which included almost 70 million cubic feet of apple storage Nal York which ranked second had o~ 19 million cubic feet of apple house space

The emergence of Washington to the forefront is a recent development and is indicative of a trend in the Pacific area Traditional~ NerT York was the leader among States but the 1955 survey showed it had dropped to second position and even this ranking is in jeopardy because of the significant growth in California The total refrigerated capacity in New York totaled 895 million cubic feet on October 1 1955 while the California total was 888 million

From 1945 to 1955 warehOlle capacity in New York increased onlyen 4 million cubic feet hile in Illinois there was a reduction of 4 million The Illinois reduction would have been even greater had there not been an increase of 12 million cubic feet in private and semiprivate space to offset the 16 million cubic feet of space lost in public warehouses and meat packing plants during this period

In contrast to the relative stability of capacity in New York and Illinois the 10-year growth in Washington totaled 31 million cubic feet and in California 49 million The expansion in Washington was primari~ apple houses In Califorshynia the increase was mostly additions to public general and private and semishyprivate general space

Public General Warehouses

Although the overall storage capacity in New York has been relatively stable these ast 10 years public general space in the State was the largest reported by any State-58 million cubic feet California the next leading State had 49 milshylion followed by 46 million in Illinois (table II) These three States have alshymost one-tl-tird of the total public general space in the country From 1945 to 1955 Kansas and Florida each added about 13 million cubic feet to bring their puolic general capacity to 21 and 17 million cubic feet~ respectively Qnly New JerseY~ Pennsylvania~ Missouri~ and Texas ~ had more public general space than KansasJ which ranked 8th in the country

Private and Semiprivate General Warehouses

The distribution of private and semiprivate space (table 12) was quite differshyent from public general California was in the forefront with New York fourth behind Florida and Illinois California with 28 million cubic feet had almost as much as the second and third ranking States combined Floridas capacity at 18 million gross cubic feet was almost as large as the capacity in Illip~is and New York l1itilllrcIl~f_W~

Meat Packing Plants

Illinois Missouri and Iowa in the order named were the important cold storage States for the meat packing industry (table 13) Capacitywise they were about equal with a slight edge in favor of Illinois and collectivel3 they account- ed for 30 percent by the meat pacldng space in the country From 1945 to 1955 their capacity has been declining Some of this decrease is due to a reclassificashytion of storage space which excluded certain refrigerated space in later surveys and in part to an abandomnent of storage space in certain areas

REFRIGERATED STORAGE CAPACITY BY CITlES v Chicago continues to maintalll its leadership aJllODg all cities as a center of

cold storage space The degree of concentration of space in the Chic~go metropolshyi tan area is given in table 11 along with the capacities of 23 other metropolitan areas in the country

Over 51 million gross cubic feet of space was in Chicago on Octobe~l 1955 about 10 million more than the second ranked city ~lew York Chicagos capacity was almost equal to the combined capacities found in Boston Detroit Kansas City Buffalo Minneapolis and St Paul In t1e order named these cities comprise the lower half of the 10 leading storage centers on a capacity basis

Los Angeles was in third position with almost 22 million cubic feet only about half as much as in Greater New York Ranking fourth and fifth with almost equal capacity was St Louis and Philadelphia respectively

Public General Warehouses

The greatest concentration of public general space was located in Greater New York the 1955 survey showed with Chicago second (table lB) New Yorks capacity amounted to 28 IILUlion cubic feet of usable piling space Chicago had 26 millionbull

Los Angeles with 10 million cubic feet of usable space was third followed by Philadelphia and St Louis each with approximately 9 million cubic feet These 5 cities with 82 million cubic feet of usable space comprised 14 percent of the national usable refrigerated capacity and 18 percent of all the ()O F space

The next 5 leading cities--Boston DetrOit Kansas City Dallas and Cleveshyland-had a usable piling capacity total of only 36 million cubic feet (fig 6)~

Meat PaCking Plants

Table 19 lists the refrigerated capacity of selected meat packing locations Chicago and St Louis were by far the leading areas followed by New York Los Angeles and Denver Only those cities haJing 3 or more plants and approximatelJ 1 million cubic feet of usable piling space are listed

4 Prior to 1955 warehouse capacities for each of the cities listed includshyed alI space within the city named and within a radius of 25 miles Begiluting with this survey cities are in each instance standard metropolitan areas which are urban centers containing at least one city of 50000 population or more and in cludefelau2trwa~~sely linked surrounding area

REFRIGERATED STORAGE CAPACITY~ BY STATES

RefriGerated storage space is in eveTY State~ the 1955survey showed~ but the extent of availability varied signific~tl1among States Capacities ranged from less than 100000 cubic feet in WyoInink to 96 million in ~iashington See fig 5 for the changes in gross refrigerated space b1 States since 1953

Four States--Ilashington New York~ California~ and Illinois-had 42 percent of the national storage capacity (figc 4) Adding the next four leading StatesshyF1orlda~ Pennsylvania Michigan and New Jersey-increased the total to 5~ percent

Washington was by far theleading State with 96 million cubic feet (table 10) which included almost 70 million cubic feet of apple storage Nal York which ranked second had o~ 19 million cubic feet of apple house space

The emergence of Washington to the forefront is a recent development and is indicative of a trend in the Pacific area Traditional~ NerT York was the leader among States but the 1955 survey showed it had dropped to second position and even this ranking is in jeopardy because of the significant growth in California The total refrigerated capacity in New York totaled 895 million cubic feet on October 1 1955 while the California total was 888 million

From 1945 to 1955 warehOlle capacity in New York increased onlyen 4 million cubic feet hile in Illinois there was a reduction of 4 million The Illinois reduction would have been even greater had there not been an increase of 12 million cubic feet in private and semiprivate space to offset the 16 million cubic feet of space lost in public warehouses and meat packing plants during this period

In contrast to the relative stability of capacity in New York and Illinois the 10-year growth in Washington totaled 31 million cubic feet and in California 49 million The expansion in Washington was primari~ apple houses In Califorshynia the increase was mostly additions to public general and private and semishyprivate general space

Although the overall storage capacity in New York has been relatively stable these ast 10 years public general space in the State was the largest reported by any State-58 million cubic feet California the next leading State had 49 milshylion followed by 46 million in Illinois (table II) These three States have alshymost one-tl-tird of the total public general space in the country From 1945 to 1955 Kansas and Florida each added about 13 million cubic feet to bring their puolic general capacity to 21 and 17 million cubic feet~ respectively Qnly New JerseY~ Pennsylvania~ Missouri~ and Texas ~ had more public general space than KansasJ which ranked 8th in the country

Private and Semiprivate General Warehouses

The distribution of private and semiprivate space (table 12) was quite differshyent from public general California was in the forefront with New York fourth behind Florida and Illinois California with 28 million cubic feet had almost as much as the second and third ranking States combined Floridas capacity at 18 million gross cubic feet was almost as large as the capacity in Illip~is and New York l1itilllrcIl~f_W~

Meat Packing Plants

Illinois Missouri and Iowa in the order named were the important cold storage States for the meat packing industry (table 13) Capacitywise they were about equal with a slight edge in favor of Illinois and collectivel3 they account- ed for 30 percent by the meat pacldng space in the country From 1945 to 1955 their capacity has been declining Some of this decrease is due to a reclassificashytion of storage space which excluded certain refrigerated space in later surveys and in part to an abandomnent of storage space in certain areas

Apple Hous

Two areas Pacific and l-1iddle Atlantic had the major share of apple storage space in the country Washington storages with 44 percent of the national tlttal and New York with 12 percent rank far ahead of all other States (table 14 1 and 16)

Next in order of importance were Virginia Michigan Oregon and California The six leading States with 83 percent of the available apple house capacity also accounted for 37 percent of the national space in the country capable of holding temperatures above 00 F bull

REFRIGERATED STORAGE CAPACITY BY CITlES v Chicago continues to maintalll its leadership aJllODg all cities as a center of

cold storage space The degree of concentration of space in the Chic~go metropolshyi tan area is given in table 11 along with the capacities of 23 other metropolitan areas in the country

Over 51 million gross cubic feet of space was in Chicago on Octobe~l 1955 about 10 million more than the second ranked city ~lew York Chicagos capacity was almost equal to the combined capacities found in Boston Detroit Kansas City Buffalo Minneapolis and St Paul In t1e order named these cities comprise the lower half of the 10 leading storage centers on a capacity basis

Los Angeles was in third position with almost 22 million cubic feet only about half as much as in Greater New York Ranking fourth and fifth with almost equal capacity was St Louis and Philadelphia respectively

Public General Warehouses

The greatest concentration of public general space was located in Greater New York the 1955 survey showed with Chicago second (table lB) New Yorks capacity amounted to 28 IILUlion cubic feet of usable piling space Chicago had 26 millionbull

Los Angeles with 10 million cubic feet of usable space was third followed by Philadelphia and St Louis each with approximately 9 million cubic feet These 5 cities with 82 million cubic feet of usable space comprised 14 percent of the national usable refrigerated capacity and 18 percent of all the ()O F space

The next 5 leading cities--Boston DetrOit Kansas City Dallas and Cleveshyland-had a usable piling capacity total of only 36 million cubic feet (fig 6)~

Meat PaCking Plants

Table 19 lists the refrigerated capacity of selected meat packing locations Chicago and St Louis were by far the leading areas followed by New York Los Angeles and Denver Only those cities haJing 3 or more plants and approximatelJ 1 million cubic feet of usable piling space are listed

REFRIGERATED STORAGE CAPACITY~ BY STATES

RefriGerated storage space is in eveTY State~ the 1955survey showed~ but the extent of availability varied signific~tl1among States Capacities ranged from less than 100000 cubic feet in WyoInink to 96 million in ~iashington See fig 5 for the changes in gross refrigerated space b1 States since 1953

Four States--Ilashington New York~ California~ and Illinois-had 42 percent of the national storage capacity (figc 4) Adding the next four leading StatesshyF1orlda~ Pennsylvania Michigan and New Jersey-increased the total to 5~ percent

Washington was by far theleading State with 96 million cubic feet (table 10) which included almost 70 million cubic feet of apple storage Nal York which ranked second had o~ 19 million cubic feet of apple house space

The emergence of Washington to the forefront is a recent development and is indicative of a trend in the Pacific area Traditional~ NerT York was the leader among States but the 1955 survey showed it had dropped to second position and even this ranking is in jeopardy because of the significant growth in California The total refrigerated capacity in New York totaled 895 million cubic feet on October 1 1955 while the California total was 888 million

From 1945 to 1955 warehOlle capacity in New York increased onlyen 4 million cubic feet hile in Illinois there was a reduction of 4 million The Illinois reduction would have been even greater had there not been an increase of 12 million cubic feet in private and semiprivate space to offset the 16 million cubic feet of space lost in public warehouses and meat packing plants during this period

In contrast to the relative stability of capacity in New York and Illinois the 10-year growth in Washington totaled 31 million cubic feet and in California 49 million The expansion in Washington was primari~ apple houses In Califorshynia the increase was mostly additions to public general and private and semishyprivate general space

Public General Warehouses

Although the overall storage capacity in New York has been relatively stable these ast 10 years public general space in the State was the largest reported by any State-58 million cubic feet California the next leading State had 49 milshylion followed by 46 million in Illinois (table II) These three States have alshymost one-tl-tird of the total public general space in the country From 1945 to 1955 Kansas and Florida each added about 13 million cubic feet to bring their puolic general capacity to 21 and 17 million cubic feet~ respectively Qnly New JerseY~ Pennsylvania~ Missouri~ and Texas ~ had more public general space than KansasJ which ranked 8th in the country

Private and Semiprivate General Warehouses

The distribution of private and semiprivate space (table 12) was quite differshyent from public general California was in the forefront with New York fourth behind Florida and Illinois California with 28 million cubic feet had almost as much as the second and third ranking States combined Floridas capacity at 18 million gross cubic feet was almost as large as the capacity in Illip~is and New York l1itilllrcIl~f_W~

Meat Packing Plants

Illinois Missouri and Iowa in the order named were the important cold storage States for the meat packing industry (table 13) Capacitywise they were about equal with a slight edge in favor of Illinois and collectivel3 they account- ed for 30 percent by the meat pacldng space in the country From 1945 to 1955 their capacity has been declining Some of this decrease is due to a reclassificashytion of storage space which excluded certain refrigerated space in later surveys and in part to an abandomnent of storage space in certain areas

Apple Hous

Two areas Pacific and l-1iddle Atlantic had the major share of apple storage space in the country Washington storages with 44 percent of the national tlttal and New York with 12 percent rank far ahead of all other States (table 14 1 and 16)

Next in order of importance were Virginia Michigan Oregon and California The six leading States with 83 percent of the available apple house capacity also accounted for 37 percent of the national space in the country capable of holding temperatures above 00 F bull

REFRIGERATED STORAGE CAPACITY BY CITlES v Chicago continues to maintalll its leadership aJllODg all cities as a center of

cold storage space The degree of concentration of space in the Chic~go metropolshyi tan area is given in table 11 along with the capacities of 23 other metropolitan areas in the country

Over 51 million gross cubic feet of space was in Chicago on Octobe~l 1955 about 10 million more than the second ranked city ~lew York Chicagos capacity was almost equal to the combined capacities found in Boston Detroit Kansas City Buffalo Minneapolis and St Paul In t1e order named these cities comprise the lower half of the 10 leading storage centers on a capacity basis

Los Angeles was in third position with almost 22 million cubic feet only about half as much as in Greater New York Ranking fourth and fifth with almost equal capacity was St Louis and Philadelphia respectively

Public General Warehouses

The greatest concentration of public general space was located in Greater New York the 1955 survey showed with Chicago second (table lB) New Yorks capacity amounted to 28 IILUlion cubic feet of usable piling space Chicago had 26 millionbull

Los Angeles with 10 million cubic feet of usable space was third followed by Philadelphia and St Louis each with approximately 9 million cubic feet These 5 cities with 82 million cubic feet of usable space comprised 14 percent of the national usable refrigerated capacity and 18 percent of all the ()O F space

The next 5 leading cities--Boston DetrOit Kansas City Dallas and Cleveshyland-had a usable piling capacity total of only 36 million cubic feet (fig 6)~

Meat PaCking Plants

Table 19 lists the refrigerated capacity of selected meat packing locations Chicago and St Louis were by far the leading areas followed by New York Los Angeles and Denver Only those cities haJing 3 or more plants and approximatelJ 1 million cubic feet of usable piling space are listed

4 Prior to 1955 warehouse capacities for each of the cities listed includshyed alI space within the city named and within a radius of 25 miles Begiluting with this survey cities are in each instance standard metropolitan areas which are urban centers containing at least one city of 50000 population or more and in cludefelau2trwa~~sely linked surrounding area

REFRIGERATED STORAGE CAPACITY~ BY STATES

RefriGerated storage space is in eveTY State~ the 1955survey showed~ but the extent of availability varied signific~tl1among States Capacities ranged from less than 100000 cubic feet in WyoInink to 96 million in ~iashington See fig 5 for the changes in gross refrigerated space b1 States since 1953

Four States--Ilashington New York~ California~ and Illinois-had 42 percent of the national storage capacity (figc 4) Adding the next four leading StatesshyF1orlda~ Pennsylvania Michigan and New Jersey-increased the total to 5~ percent

Washington was by far theleading State with 96 million cubic feet (table 10) which included almost 70 million cubic feet of apple storage Nal York which ranked second had o~ 19 million cubic feet of apple house space

The emergence of Washington to the forefront is a recent development and is indicative of a trend in the Pacific area Traditional~ NerT York was the leader among States but the 1955 survey showed it had dropped to second position and even this ranking is in jeopardy because of the significant growth in California The total refrigerated capacity in New York totaled 895 million cubic feet on October 1 1955 while the California total was 888 million

From 1945 to 1955 warehOlle capacity in New York increased onlyen 4 million cubic feet hile in Illinois there was a reduction of 4 million The Illinois reduction would have been even greater had there not been an increase of 12 million cubic feet in private and semiprivate space to offset the 16 million cubic feet of space lost in public warehouses and meat packing plants during this period

In contrast to the relative stability of capacity in New York and Illinois the 10-year growth in Washington totaled 31 million cubic feet and in California 49 million The expansion in Washington was primari~ apple houses In Califorshynia the increase was mostly additions to public general and private and semishyprivate general space

Public General Warehouses

Although the overall storage capacity in New York has been relatively stable these ast 10 years public general space in the State was the largest reported by any State-58 million cubic feet California the next leading State had 49 milshylion followed by 46 million in Illinois (table II) These three States have alshymost one-tl-tird of the total public general space in the country From 1945 to 1955 Kansas and Florida each added about 13 million cubic feet to bring their puolic general capacity to 21 and 17 million cubic feet~ respectively Qnly New JerseY~ Pennsylvania~ Missouri~ and Texas ~ had more public general space than KansasJ which ranked 8th in the country

Private and Semiprivate General Warehouses

The distribution of private and semiprivate space (table 12) was quite differshyent from public general California was in the forefront with New York fourth behind Florida and Illinois California with 28 million cubic feet had almost as much as the second and third ranking States combined Floridas capacity at 18 million gross cubic feet was almost as large as the capacity in Illip~is and New York l1itilllrcIl~f_W~

Meat Packing Plants

Illinois Missouri and Iowa in the order named were the important cold storage States for the meat packing industry (table 13) Capacitywise they were about equal with a slight edge in favor of Illinois and collectivel3 they account- ed for 30 percent by the meat pacldng space in the country From 1945 to 1955 their capacity has been declining Some of this decrease is due to a reclassificashytion of storage space which excluded certain refrigerated space in later surveys and in part to an abandomnent of storage space in certain areas

Apple Hous

Two areas Pacific and l-1iddle Atlantic had the major share of apple storage space in the country Washington storages with 44 percent of the national tlttal and New York with 12 percent rank far ahead of all other States (table 14 1 and 16)

Next in order of importance were Virginia Michigan Oregon and California The six leading States with 83 percent of the available apple house capacity also accounted for 37 percent of the national space in the country capable of holding temperatures above 00 F bull

REFRIGERATED STORAGE CAPACITY BY CITlES v Chicago continues to maintalll its leadership aJllODg all cities as a center of

cold storage space The degree of concentration of space in the Chic~go metropolshyi tan area is given in table 11 along with the capacities of 23 other metropolitan areas in the country

Over 51 million gross cubic feet of space was in Chicago on Octobe~l 1955 about 10 million more than the second ranked city ~lew York Chicagos capacity was almost equal to the combined capacities found in Boston Detroit Kansas City Buffalo Minneapolis and St Paul In t1e order named these cities comprise the lower half of the 10 leading storage centers on a capacity basis

Los Angeles was in third position with almost 22 million cubic feet only about half as much as in Greater New York Ranking fourth and fifth with almost equal capacity was St Louis and Philadelphia respectively

The greatest concentration of public general space was located in Greater New York the 1955 survey showed with Chicago second (table lB) New Yorks capacity amounted to 28 IILUlion cubic feet of usable piling space Chicago had 26 millionbull

Los Angeles with 10 million cubic feet of usable space was third followed by Philadelphia and St Louis each with approximately 9 million cubic feet These 5 cities with 82 million cubic feet of usable space comprised 14 percent of the national usable refrigerated capacity and 18 percent of all the ()O F space

The next 5 leading cities--Boston DetrOit Kansas City Dallas and Cleveshyland-had a usable piling capacity total of only 36 million cubic feet (fig 6)~

Meat PaCking Plants

Meat Packing Plants

Illinois Missouri and Iowa in the order named were the important cold storage States for the meat packing industry (table 13) Capacitywise they were about equal with a slight edge in favor of Illinois and collectivel3 they account- ed for 30 percent by the meat pacldng space in the country From 1945 to 1955 their capacity has been declining Some of this decrease is due to a reclassificashytion of storage space which excluded certain refrigerated space in later surveys and in part to an abandomnent of storage space in certain areas

Apple Hous

Two areas Pacific and l-1iddle Atlantic had the major share of apple storage space in the country Washington storages with 44 percent of the national tlttal and New York with 12 percent rank far ahead of all other States (table 14 1 and 16)

Next in order of importance were Virginia Michigan Oregon and California The six leading States with 83 percent of the available apple house capacity also accounted for 37 percent of the national space in the country capable of holding temperatures above 00 F bull

REFRIGERATED STORAGE CAPACITY BY CITlES v Chicago continues to maintalll its leadership aJllODg all cities as a center of

cold storage space The degree of concentration of space in the Chic~go metropolshyi tan area is given in table 11 along with the capacities of 23 other metropolitan areas in the country

Over 51 million gross cubic feet of space was in Chicago on Octobe~l 1955 about 10 million more than the second ranked city ~lew York Chicagos capacity was almost equal to the combined capacities found in Boston Detroit Kansas City Buffalo Minneapolis and St Paul In t1e order named these cities comprise the lower half of the 10 leading storage centers on a capacity basis

Los Angeles was in third position with almost 22 million cubic feet only about half as much as in Greater New York Ranking fourth and fifth with almost equal capacity was St Louis and Philadelphia respectively

Meat Packing Plants

Illinois Missouri and Iowa in the order named were the important cold storage States for the meat packing industry (table 13) Capacitywise they were about equal with a slight edge in favor of Illinois and collectivel3 they account- ed for 30 percent by the meat pacldng space in the country From 1945 to 1955 their capacity has been declining Some of this decrease is due to a reclassificashytion of storage space which excluded certain refrigerated space in later surveys and in part to an abandomnent of storage space in certain areas

Apple Hous

Two areas Pacific and l-1iddle Atlantic had the major share of apple storage space in the country Washington storages with 44 percent of the national tlttal and New York with 12 percent rank far ahead of all other States (table 14 1 and 16)

Next in order of importance were Virginia Michigan Oregon and California The six leading States with 83 percent of the available apple house capacity also accounted for 37 percent of the national space in the country capable of holding temperatures above 00 F bull

REFRIGERATED STORAGE CAPACITY BY CITlES v Chicago continues to maintalll its leadership aJllODg all cities as a center of

cold storage space The degree of concentration of space in the Chic~go metropolshyi tan area is given in table 11 along with the capacities of 23 other metropolitan areas in the country

Over 51 million gross cubic feet of space was in Chicago on Octobe~l 1955 about 10 million more than the second ranked city ~lew York Chicagos capacity was almost equal to the combined capacities found in Boston Detroit Kansas City Buffalo Minneapolis and St Paul In t1e order named these cities comprise the lower half of the 10 leading storage centers on a capacity basis

Los Angeles was in third position with almost 22 million cubic feet only about half as much as in Greater New York Ranking fourth and fifth with almost equal capacity was St Louis and Philadelphia respectively

Public General Warehouses

The greatest concentration of public general space was located in Greater New York the 1955 survey showed with Chicago second (table lB) New Yorks capacity amounted to 28 IILUlion cubic feet of usable piling space Chicago had 26 millionbull

Los Angeles with 10 million cubic feet of usable space was third followed by Philadelphia and St Louis each with approximately 9 million cubic feet These 5 cities with 82 million cubic feet of usable space comprised 14 percent of the national usable refrigerated capacity and 18 percent of all the ()O F space

The next 5 leading cities--Boston DetrOit Kansas City Dallas and Cleveshyland-had a usable piling capacity total of only 36 million cubic feet (fig 6)~

Meat PaCking Plants

Table 19 lists the refrigerated capacity of selected meat packing locations Chicago and St Louis were by far the leading areas followed by New York Los Angeles and Denver Only those cities haJing 3 or more plants and approximatelJ 1 million cubic feet of usable piling space are listed

4 Prior to 1955 warehouse capacities for each of the cities listed includshyed alI space within the city named and within a radius of 25 miles Begiluting with this survey cities are in each instance standard metropolitan areas which are urban centers containing at least one city of 50000 population or more and in cludefelau2trwa~~sely linked surrounding area

REFRIGERATED STORAGE CAPACITY BY CITlES v Chicago continues to maintalll its leadership aJllODg all cities as a center of

cold storage space The degree of concentration of space in the Chic~go metropolshyi tan area is given in table 11 along with the capacities of 23 other metropolitan areas in the country

Over 51 million gross cubic feet of space was in Chicago on Octobe~l 1955 about 10 million more than the second ranked city ~lew York Chicagos capacity was almost equal to the combined capacities found in Boston Detroit Kansas City Buffalo Minneapolis and St Paul In t1e order named these cities comprise the lower half of the 10 leading storage centers on a capacity basis

Los Angeles was in third position with almost 22 million cubic feet only about half as much as in Greater New York Ranking fourth and fifth with almost equal capacity was St Louis and Philadelphia respectively

REFRIGERATED STORAGE CAPACITY BY CITlES v Chicago continues to maintalll its leadership aJllODg all cities as a center of

cold storage space The degree of concentration of space in the Chic~go metropolshyi tan area is given in table 11 along with the capacities of 23 other metropolitan areas in the country

Over 51 million gross cubic feet of space was in Chicago on Octobe~l 1955 about 10 million more than the second ranked city ~lew York Chicagos capacity was almost equal to the combined capacities found in Boston Detroit Kansas City Buffalo Minneapolis and St Paul In t1e order named these cities comprise the lower half of the 10 leading storage centers on a capacity basis

Los Angeles was in third position with almost 22 million cubic feet only about half as much as in Greater New York Ranking fourth and fifth with almost equal capacity was St Louis and Philadelphia respectively

Public General Warehouses

The greatest concentration of public general space was located in Greater New York the 1955 survey showed with Chicago second (table lB) New Yorks capacity amounted to 28 IILUlion cubic feet of usable piling space Chicago had 26 millionbull

Los Angeles with 10 million cubic feet of usable space was third followed by Philadelphia and St Louis each with approximately 9 million cubic feet These 5 cities with 82 million cubic feet of usable space comprised 14 percent of the national usable refrigerated capacity and 18 percent of all the ()O F space

The next 5 leading cities--Boston DetrOit Kansas City Dallas and Cleveshyland-had a usable piling capacity total of only 36 million cubic feet (fig 6)~

Meat PaCking Plants

Table 19 lists the refrigerated capacity of selected meat packing locations Chicago and St Louis were by far the leading areas followed by New York Los Angeles and Denver Only those cities haJing 3 or more plants and approximatelJ 1 million cubic feet of usable piling space are listed
