Letters to the Editor WHO IS THE PROFITEER ? I There has been a great deal said | about the grocer as a profiteer, but inot a word about the drygoods, | clothing and shoeman, and many j others. Aren't these goods just as ■essential to the body as groceries? ;The grocer is no more responsible | for the high price of his goods than | either of the other lines of mer ■chandlse, and yet he is constantly being held before the public as a robbdr in big profits. His gross profits are from 20 to 25 per cent., while the other lines mentioned, have, by a careful report through out the country shown to be -from I TOO to 300 per cent. Which would !you call the profiteer? At the very I outset of tho war *je wholesale and j retail grocers' selling prices were regulated, but I have never seen 'where the prices of any of the others have been fixed, or even regulated. I There were many merchants and job jbers in the above lines mentioned I that had great quantities of goods |on hand at a low price, but they I could sell them for whatever price they cared to ask, and Judging from I the outlandish prices, and their big profits, many of them did not hesi itatc. Of course, as the old saying I goes, look after tTe little things and , the big ones will take ca-o of them- I selves, which sccr.is to be a fait ,n I this case. j Look after the grocer that is mak (ing 20 to 25 per cent, profit, but :let the other with 100 to 300 per icent. go by, unnoticed and unknown. ,1 am not objecting to the regulation I of prices, but why regulate a few and not all, especially in the necessaries |of life? The grocer is expected to ido more favors than,any other mer chant I know of, and is given the leust consideration. He is expected to deliver a box of toothpicks, a loaf of bread, or anything else, and extends credit in many ways, often acting as banker, loaning his customers money to pay the coal man, doctor or rent man, and yet there have been many people that be has done all this for, that when they have the cash they take it to the cash-and-carry-man. If there are any who may hap pen to read this and want to get into this get-rich-quick business, I will be glad to sight theru to many good ones I know of for sale throughout the state. I am not in the retail grocery business, neither am I selling grocery stock, but I know of no other cluss of merchants that put in longer hours, harder work and more worry with as little pay as the grocer. I know whereof I speak for I am in close touch with them nearly every day in the year. TRAVELING SAhBHMAN.
