tai output shown in the census OF
1919. were 16.2 per cent on invest
ment in 1918 and 29.3 per cent in
1919.
These large increases in earnings
OF tanners and shoe manufacturers
were due primarily to the fact that
their selling prices increased out Of
all proportion to the increases in their
costs per unit Of production. with a
resultant enhancement of their mar
gins Of profit per unit. Earnings Of
thirty-tvo typical shoe wholesalers
and jobbers averaged about 20 per
cent ON Investment in fs1s and about
81 per cent In 1919: earnings Of forty
SIX typical shoe retailers averaged
about IS per cent in 1913 and about 80
per cent In 1919. These earnings. like
those Of tanners and shoe manufac-
turers. resulted from wide margins of
profit taken on each shoe sold. The
Increased earnings in 1919 were due
to the fact that selling prices in
creased by greater amounts and per-
