HOW TO KNOW THE PROFITEERS. v e | Thero are three typas of profiteer. | The simplest and crudest member of l this numearous and interesting species ig the =alley w|» exacts a profit of ‘ ei-hty or oie bhundred per cent, or more, upon whatever he sells. Some- times the law reaches him,but more often not. Fo:r him there is a hereafter. Th» second variety of taz species is the deale: who compels his custemers to buy ex ravazantly or go without. This strive of merchant adheres to his old pre-war gross profit figured on a per- centage basis; but he rafuse2s 1o stock any but the most expensive goods no®mat- ter what quantitiecs of [hwer priced mer- chandise the manufaciurers and job- hbers - offer him. Insiead of buyirg four-dollar units.to retail at six doliars he stocks tan-dollar goods to resell at fifto»n dollars Lhis typzs of the genus profitzer is a famiiiar figure in every shoppiag district. His system is law proot. At the moment thereis nothing that can be done to him; but waen re- latively normal times return and medi um-prized grrds beco n 2 nis best seilers there will be no obligation to buy from hm. The third and by far the trickiest | branch o the profiteer family ofien in- } fests the smaller shops in the side streeis. He displays hisnative cunning by judiciously combining the methods rs the two more primitive types. He marks his goods with code figures and charges every customer whatever the traffic will bear above an exorbitant | minimun. Angels and uneasy profieers : are the onlv ones wno would not hear| with grimning maé(ce that stray mem- ' bers of this plunder ieague are being ' rounded up and put into li‘tle stone rooms with openwork Iron doors, Many a retail dealer bas come through the era of high prices with a clean slate and has resisted every temptation to gouge his customers. Buyers who kaow such merchants should put them on the white list. —=The Saturday Fvening Post, Mirch 13th.
