WATCH YOUR GROCER.
mere Is a Gentle Hint From One
Who Ought to
Know.

From the Retail Grocers' Advocate.
A grocer on Lexington avenue knows
That he makes more by selling a basket
OF potatoes than by selling quarts. For
THIS reason he gets a large number of me-
dunn sized baskets, about eight or nine tn
the barrel. and after dividing a barrel
into equal parts by filling the has
kets. he puts them out for show in
ms store with a price marked ON each
DaSket. The result is that his customers
puy a basket instead of a quart of nota-
toes. Some grocers would not do this
however, because their customers wouli
meyer buy more than a quart at a time.
IL potatoes are sold by the busheI or a
large measure. the grocer generally makes
more profit tina If sold by the quart.
Large measures are very deceptive. They
appear to count in more than they really
DO. Two single quarts are more than \
small measure. and two small measures
more than a half peck, hut the consumer
seldom knows 1T. In liquid measures the
case is different. But in anything that
can be heaped up on top of the Measure
me grocer generally gains if he sells a
large measure instead of several small
ones. The same is true of coal, which
leaves more profit at % cents per bushel
than 1t does at 10 cents per pail. OF course.
conditions vary, according to the rules of
the grocer. Some grocers regulate meas
ures and prices so as to have absolute Just
ice to all concerned. but the tendency is
10 gain by selling large measures.
