4 a | (ARNATION MUSH healthful in Church Parents: Wed Retail Dealers © Not Profiteers at All, He Says Investigator Asserts Mer- chants Coined Money in 1916 WASHINGTON, June 22.-—The re tall dealer is not the profiteer he has, been pictured by the consumer, ac-| cording to the forthcoming report of the joint commission of agricultural Inquiry. According to this report the dealers took their largest profit from the consumer in 1916, since which time profits have been steadily de creasing, until In 1991 it touched low water mark with an average net Profit of $1.30 for each $100 sales and for the entire perido of 10 years from 1913 to 1922, the average profit was 6 per cent on sales. That tn, if dealer eold $100,000 worth of cloth- ing, he made $6,000 net on the aver: age. Hardware profits ranged about 5.85 per cent, shoes about 6.17 per cent, while groceries ran about 3% per cent. Retail dry goods profits over the same period averaged 6.3 per cent, which, by @ peculiar coincidence, waa about the average profits of the average department store, Therefore, it your local department store does a business of about $2,000,000, which would be excellent for a city of 100, 000 people in a first class region, the annual net profits of the merchant or corporation, after paying all over head, salaries included, would be about $100,000. It takes a pretty Rood-nized and mighty well managed department #tore in a city of 100,000 people to make a net profit of $100, 000 after paying the government In come tax, according to the Anderson report. In cities the stze of Seattle, Los Angéles, San Francisco or Portland there are several stores doing a bust ness in excess of $10,000,000, which THE SEATTLE STAR [ WHAT IS THIS IN HISTORY? | Babies Most Vital Subject MaKe Him oney You , MRS.
