RETAIL TRADE

RETAIL TRADE is carried on by a large number of shops located in various towns and villages of the district. Details of shops located in rural areas and non-municipal towns have been given in the section on " Village Shop-keepers " and hence this account deals exclusively with retail trade shops in municipal towns in the district.

There were eight municipal towns in 1955-56 including the two municipal boroughs of Kolhapur and Ichalkaranji. The Bombay Shops and Establishments Act, 1948 was applied only to Kolhapur and Ichalkaranji municipal areas. In other municipal towns viz., (1) Kurundwad (2) Gadhinglaj (3) Malkapur (4) Vadgaon (5) Murgud and (6) Jaisingpur, the said Act was not applied till 1955-56.

Retail shops, which provide a link between the consumer and the wholesaler, are located in the various wards of the town and to a certain extent cater to the needs of the inhabitants of the localities. The stock-in-trade of a majority of retail trade shops is limited but rapid replenishments are made as and when the old stocks are sold out. The capital investments of most of the shops are also limited. Retailers usually Have dealings with some wholesaler in the town itself but not infrequently they have dealings with even bigger traders. Quite a few have dealings with outside merchants particularly in cloth trade. Retail sales are generally on cash basis but goods on credit are also given to some customers whose accounts are settled periodically.

The Bombay Shops and Establishments Act, 1948 is administered by the municipal boroughs and all the shops and establishments are required to be registered under the Act.

The following statement shows the total number of shops, registered under the Act in the two. municipal boroughs in the district viz. (1) Kolhapur and (2) Ichalkaranji.

Kolhapur.

As per information furnished by the Kolhapur Borough  Municipality, there were 4,904 retail shops of different varieties and sizes which provided employment to 6,018 persons including 123 women and 233 children.

The following table (No. 27) shows the ward-wise distribution of retail shops. From the table, it can be seen that grain and grocery shops (1,014) dominate the picture, followed by sweetmeat and eatable shops (484). These two types of shops provided employment to 1,732 persons. The shops were found more concentrated in wards C and E followed by wards B, A and D.

The next groups of shops having comparatively greater employment were stationery, cutlery and provision stores (311), leather goods and footwear [It will not be improper here to state that foot-wears (Chappals) of Kolhapur are very famous and have a distinct market in the nearby areas.] (214), cloth and hosiery (285), pan-bidi and cigarette shops (311), cycle shops (277) and zari shops (237). These shops together provided employment to 1,470 persons. There were other shops e.g. medicines (33), metal utensils (56), ready-made clothes (109), timber (132), book-sellers and publishers (9) and furniture (46). These shops provided employment to 1,332 persons.

Ichalkaranji.

The total number of shops in the limits of Ichalkaranji Borough Municipality was 669 which provided employment to 1,074 persons including 5 women and 11 children. Of these, Grocery shops (116), numbered next to miscellaneous (255) and were dispersed in all the ten wards of the town but many of them were found in ward IX. These were followed by sweetmeat and eatable shops (64), pan-bidi and cigarette shops (50) and cloth and hosiery including ready-made cloth shops (46). These shops together provided employment to 915 persons. Of course there was a wide dispersal of shops of different varieties viz. stationery, hardware, watches and opticals, wood fuel, metal utensils, medicine, leather goods and footwear etc. but many were found concentrated in wards VIII, IX and X.

Jaisingpur, Mrurgud, Malkapur, Gadhinglaj, Vadgaon and Kurundwad.

In these municipal towns the Bombay Shops and Establishments Act, 1948 was not applied till 1955-56 and hence details regarding value of stock-in-trade etc. were not available. However, a statement of retail establishments for each of the municipal towns was prepared with the help of municipal authorities in these towns.

The total number of shops in Jaisingpur was 402 which provided employment to 1,057 persons including- 51 children and 3 women. A greater concentration of shops was found in ward B. It is evident from the statement of ward-wise distribution of different types of retail trade shops that there were no separate shops for selling umbrellas, trunks and locks, agarbattis, perfumes, glass, cups, etc. The stationery merchants were found to be dealing in these commodities.

Jaisingpur is an important centre for bidi-tobacco and snuff. There are indigenous establishments preparing snuff from tobacco. The total number of shops selling tobacco was 215 which provided employment to 708 persons. Grocery shops were found in all the wards of the town.

Malkapur is a small town and hence has comparatively few shops. The total number of shops was 166 which provided employment to 320 persons including 43 children. It is evident from the table that shops of only a few varieties were found. Forty-two grocery shops provided employment to 50 persons. Shops selling furniture, agricultural requisites, petrol, petromax, etc., were not found in the town.

The total number of shops in Murgud was 131 located in the four wards of the town providing employment to 218 persons including 17 women and 12 children. There was a wide dispersal of shops in the town.

The total number of shops in Gadhinglaj was 51 which provided employment to 257 persons. There were 210 shops in Vadgaon providing employment to 415 persons including 33 women and 76 children. Most of the shops in the town were concentrated in ward A and grocery shops were found in all the five wards of the town. There was a wide dispersal of shops of different varieties.

In Kurundwad municipal area there were 125 shops which provided employment to 232 persons. A greater concentration of retail trade shops was found in ward III. Dealers dealing in cloth and hosiery were found to be dealing in ready-made clothes also. It was reported that many residents Of the town used to buy grains directly from agriculturists, and other requirements were purchased on the bazar-day when it was possible to get a number of articles usually not sold in the local market.

Grocery.

Among retail trade shops in the district the grocery group is the most important. It has the largest number of shops and provides the largest employment. All sorts of cereals and pulses, spices, jaggery (gul), oil, ghee, condiments, tea, coffee, indigenous drugs, dry fruits, agarbatti, saffron, baking-soda, washing-soda, catechu, soap, cocoanuts, cocoanut oil, groundnut oil and a number of other things are sold in these shops. The value of stock-in-trade of individual shops varies in a wide range, i.e., from Rs. 1,000 to Rs. 50,000. The retail shop-keepers in this group get their stock in grains from the local wholesale dealers. The other articles and products are bought from local wholesalers who in turn obtain the same from various manufacturing, centres particularly from cities like Bombay, Calcutta and Madras.

Sweetmeats and Eatables.

Next in importance to groceries come probably the sweetmeat and eatable shops especially in Kolhapur and Ichalkaranji. Among the group of shops selling sweetmeats and eatables, some sell only sweetmeats, some sell only sev, churmura, chivda, ganthia, bhajja, khaman and bhusa a mixture of all these. Some sell sweetmeats as well as farsan. There is brisk trade in this form of business at the time of religious festivals. Stock-in-trade of this type of shops varies from 500 to Rs. 3,000.

Pan-bidi and Cigarette shops.

Pan-bidi and cigarette shops are an example of shops having small investment. Sale is always on cash basis. Most of the establishments are one man establishments selling pan, bidi, cigarettes, chewing tobacco, betelnuts, catechu and occasionally confectionery. The stock-in-trade is generally obtained locally and sometimes from outside. A large number of these establishments make small quantities of bidis sufficient for their own sales. The value of stock-in-trade varies from Rs. 25 to Rs. 500. However, in the shops dealing exclusively in tobacco and snuff the stock-in-trade is considerably large. Jaisingpur is an important centre for tobacco, for bidis as well as for snuff. Credit facilities enjoyed by tobacco merchants from wholesalers are generally for three months. Business in this category of shops is generally slack in the rainy-season. Rest of the time it is brisk and particularly on holidays the sales of pan-bidi shops are greater than on other days.

Cloth and Hosiery.

These shop-keepers sell all kinds of textiles-cotton, woollen, silk-for shirting, coating, etc.; sarees, dhotars, tapestry-cloth, towels, and various kinds of hosiery. Besides mill-made fabrics, they stock and sell hand-loom and power-loom products. The stock-in-trade of an average shop is usually Rs. 500 but a few large shop-keepers stock goods worth Rs. 50,000 to Rs. 1,00,000. The big shops employ clerks to keep accounts, besides salesmen. Handloom and power-loom products manufactured in the district are obtained by the shop-keepers either directly from factories or from wholesale dealers. As in other cases, the rainy-season is generally slack and sales shoot up during festivals and marriage season. Credit is offered to shop-keepers by wholesalers for 30 days but cash payment is generally the rule for hosiery goods. A majority of shop-keepers purchase most of their requirements of all mill-made cloth through the local agents of various textile mills and sometimes even import goods from Sholapur, Bombay, Ahmedabad and Kanpur, etc.

Leather goods and footwear.

Footwear and other leather goods such as leather, accessories of shoe-making such as sewing thread, nails, clips, belts, purses, etc., are sold by shops grouped under leather goods and footwear. Kolhapur is famous for footwear (chappals) known as "Kolhapuri chappals". The value of stock-in-trade of these traders varies from Rs. 800 to Rs. 5,000. Business is generally slack during monsoon and brisk during the summer season.

Medicines.

Shop-keepers under the group "Medicines" style themselves up as chemists and druggists. They sell chemicals of various kinds, foreign and indigenous drugs, medicines and surgical instruments. A large part of the chemicals, drugs and medicines stocked is of a foreign origin and brought mainly from Bombay. Those manufactured in India are brought mainly from their places of production, viz., Bombay, Poona, Baroda and Ahmednagar.

Kolhapur, Ichalkaranji, Jaisingpur, Malkapur, Murgud, Gadhinglaj, Vadgaon and Kurundwad.
