Madison-The Lawson Milling com
pany, of Ripon, Wis, has been found
guilty of excess profits in retail sales.
The profit realized on sales to retail
merchants has averaged $1.90 a bar
$3.50. 1t is provided in the food regu-
lations that a wholesaler who also
does a retail business is not required
to sell both classes of customers at
the same prices. But the mere fact
that the wholesaler keeps two sets of
and the other for the retail trade, does
not bring the merchant within the rule
of the extra service to warrant the re-
tailer's profit. There is nothing made
to appear that the Lawson Milling
company rendered the extra service in
it's transactions to entitle him to the
retailers profits. The Lawson Mill
ing company is to pay fine of $25 to
the Ripon Red Cross. Upon refusal to
do this, the local administrator is di.
rected to close his business for ten
days.
