HOW TO FIGURE PROFITS

The question of figuring profits is
one that has many times spelt The diff
ference between success and failure
for many merchant. This is one Of
the big questions that will receive
consideration at the coming West Vir-
GINA Hardware Convention at Hunt
ington, January Is tn and 18th.
Homer Hawker of Shinnston, w.
Va, who is president of the West
Virginia Hardware Association,
mentions the fact that the method of
figuring profits taught in school
books of the earlier period of the ma
tons history did not take into consid-
Grafton all factors in the ideas that
had to be "unlearned" when the a.
foresaid young hopeful grew up in
to business life. According to Mr..
Hawker the old arithmetics used to
contain such problems as these:
eff a merchant buys flour at
$500 barrel and sells it at S.
90, how much profit does he
make ?. :. Answer $780,"
eff boy buys pig for $500,
keeps it six months and sells it for
$500, how much profit does he
make? I. Answer $500"
In each case the entire difference
between purchase and selling price
was called profit-an entirely enron
eous method, since nothing was al
lowed for cost of transportation,
handling, or selling the -four, or
Of the care and feeding Of the rig.
Mr. Hawker stated that after he
had started in business he had to
learn that such methods learned dur
ing his early education were all wrong
that the purchase price did not BY
any means include all the cost Of an
article.
Belington progressive. [volume] (Belington, W. Va.) 1912-1927, 1924-01-10

This is only one of the interesting
questions of business that will be dis
cussed at the convention, which pro-
misses to be one of the finest and snap
piest ever held in the state. The
closing paragraph of letter just re-
ceived from F. G. Weber, manager
of the Weston Hardware Company,
reads, "Yours for the biggest hard
ware meeting that West Virginia has
ever had," and this apparently re-
fleets the interest and attitude of
large numbers Of the hardware men
Of the state.
One of the pleasant features of the
convention will be the banquet given
by the Association on Thursday night,
with Roy F. Soule, Editor of Hard
ware Dealers Magazine, New York
City as the speaker on Salesman
ship"
Huntington is preparing to take the
very best care of visitors during the
meeting. 1t is anticipated that the
attendance will be very large.
