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

rounded
up

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
