FOOD PRODUCTS

What the buyer demands more

modities q all sorts IL you demand
full-value foods, insist upon having

top-price goods of questionable value
will then be sharply curtailed and pro-
duction stimulated in lines OF max.
imum merit. And with this increased
production will come lower costs,
just as sure as day follows night.
The solution Of the problem so far
as the consumer is concerned is sim
ply this: select only proudcts OF rec

GROCERS WANT
TO HELP LOWER
FOOD COSTS
Not to Blame for HCL.

The idea that the rank and file Of
grocers throughout the country are
boosting prices for the sake OF realiz-
ing exorbitant profits is absolutely
false.
Retail prices have gone up because
the retailer has been compelled to
pu. them up. The grocer has to pay
more for his goods, more for rent
more for clerks salaries; consequent
ly, must charge more.
Shortage of raw materials, of pro-
ductive labor and d demand that has
far outstripped production are the
direct causes of present-dsy prices.
AS a rule, the grocer is transacting
business on the same percentage Of
profit as in the days of low selling
prices. =
Grocers depend upon you for a
livelihood. They know Just as you
know that TO cheat in any way, shape
or form, would kill their trade out
right. Common sense says that no
intelligent grocer will attempt TO
kite" prices beyond legitimate prof.
its. He can't afford to.

she had left some message with that

Common sense tried 20 tell me

the result justifyiHg the forebodings,
that I naturally discount the COM

that when Mai. Grantland turned 10
me, after shaking hands with my
father and Dicky's mother. I felt
that the hand 1 put IN his was both
trembling and icy.
He looked keenly at me, and the
clasp Of his hand over mine was so
warm and protecting that I felt a
breath OF reinsurance blow over my
fears. AS he released my hand. he,

handkerchief. stopped quickly 70 re-

BUSINESS NOT
A BED OF ROSES
For Man Behind Counter

Because of scant supply the gro
Ger often has serious trouble in pro-
curing merchandise. He has to stand
The sharp cut Of complaints from buy
ers because of high costs. He all too
frequently is blamed, when absolutely
blameless. And is not, on whole,
making a wider margin of net profit
than he did when conditions were
normal, trade better satisfied and
business transactions decidedly more
pleasant
The grocer is your servant. He is
in business to serve your require
ments. He doesn't make you a slave
TO high costs. He is in exactly the
same boat you are in. He sells goods
YOU want and ask for. He must meet
your demands or get out of business.
He has no choice IN the matter. He
can't go contrary TO your wishes.
The consumer can do more to-
wards restoring prices to normal
levels than the grocer can. This can
be accomplished with positive GER
tainty by buying only food products
of sound value and proven economy.
Careless buying and rank extrsva-
gance are unquestionably vital tac-
tors in maintenance Of high costs.
When a consumer forces a grocer
20 sell a sixty-hve-cent article where
a thirty-hve-ce article would an
swer the purpose equally well he is
encouraging production Of high
priced goods Of short value and
hampering the manufacture of food
products of sound value and fair
prices. On the other hand, when the
consumer insists on goods of inferior
worth he is inviting inevitable waste
that stands for loss rather than
economy. In such occurrences the
consumer, not the grocer, is at fault.
For, remember, the grocer must
give you what you want despite the
fact that he would rather supply
your requirements with goods of
sterling value at a minimum cost.
