yI7HAT Is a profiteer7 According
w TO the dictionary. a profiteer IL
one who takes unfair advantage to
force people to pay more than the
market price. or who gives less than
full value for the price paid.
When the grocer raises the price
on the canned goods which he has
on hand simply because he can get
more for them. he IL profiteering.
When the owner OF a canning fac
tory adds to the amount OF water In

keep the price the same, he also Is
profiteering.
PROFTTEERrNG Is simply a
heightened word for STEALING.
CsOMETIMEs we steal by asking
~ the other fellow a higher price
for our goods or labor than we ought
70 ask.
Sometimes we steal by giving the
other fellow poorer goods or poorer
work than we ought 10 give.
