C;rocers do not enjoy the big profits they
used 10. One man told the State Pure Fooc
Commission Yesterday that he did SEo'-
600 business last year and made exactly
s1s out Of e. This was G. Fl. Haslop, VINO
bas had a grocery at No. 537 West 4bth
street for Twenty-Five years. He said he
had no axe to grind, and could not blame
any one especially for the high cost 81
living.
But the fact remains" he said, that
during 1911 my store did gross business
OF s25. 600 out of which l allowed myself
a salary of s25 week. and at the end OF
1911 I found I had a net profit OF exactly
SIS. My expenses for running the store
for horse, wagon. wear and tear light, etc.
were S4.025. or about 1914 per cent u
the total of business done. l think my eN-
perience is typical Of grocers In my class
Take for instance twenty years ago.
when we were selling good butter at 20
cents or Is cents a pound" said Haslop'
I'VE were then making profit OF four
cents a pound. Yesterday I was selling
special butter at 80 cents, and paid So7t
cents for It, That sounds like margin OF

lander, q retailer at No. 81 Ninth avenue
president Of the Retail Grocers' Association
said the package Of oatmeal that once con-
tained two pounds and sold for 10 cents no"
contains but 30 ounces.
The butchers, too. spoke Of the high cost
of living. and blamed the public for the
steep prices.
You can't sell anything but the oes;
cuts" said Edward Johnsdorfer, Of No. $50
