FAIR PRICE COMMITTEES
AND FOOD CONDITIONS
Owing to the fact that wholesalers
anil retailers in food products as well
as dealers in clothing and shoes and
some other lines of merchandise are in
many instances selling goods too high.
The Department of Justice has become
active in different parts of the country
to reduce the price of living. In Ashe
boro. High Point, Lexington Statesville
and some other tovns where partial
investigations have been made it is
found that not only sugar is sold at
prices higher than the Food Adminis
tration considers reasonable but in
some instances meat is retailed at a
price of from 18 to 22(" a pound above
the wholesale prices. On sugar meat
am, flour the Food Administration
during the war fixed a regulation of
profit based on an average profit for
lour years preceding the war. The
profits on these products were fixed at
practically 10 per cent to the retailers
and 5 per cent to the wholesalers. It
appeared that no good reason can be
given why tiiese profits should now be
increased.
It has been suggested by the Food
Administration that the pre-war cus
tom of retail dealers to sell the three
staple fods, meat, flour and sugar, at
the reasonable margin on these pro
ducts of less than one half the profit
which may be reasonable charged on
the average food products. Pre war
competition conditions afforded a mar
gin on these three staples of less than
5 per cent to the wholesaler and not
more than 15 per cent to the retailer.
Mr. Page is of the opinion that this is
a fair and reasonable margin, and the
public will agree with with him.
Fair Price Committees consisting
of eight members will be appointed in
the various counties of the State and
those mehchants who are now declining
to handle sugar may probably decline
to handle meat and some other pro
ducts when it become.-, known to the
niihlic the unreasonable profits that
i
some of them are charging.
In some instances the retail mer
chant has paid too much for goods. In
fact several instances have been re
ported. It may not be to our liking to
have Federal Control, but the profiteer
ing, not only foodstufts, but other lines,
make it imperatively necessary tint

rules and regulations are still in exist

There is more difficulty in arriving
at the fair price of other products

its on meat, beans and some other food
stufs cannot be permitted to exist.

FljJ Control Law Will Be Enforced
dealers in sugar, except retailers
dc j a gross business of $100,000 or
k'; r.nnually, are still rubject to license
ur-'-r the Food Control Act. In ad
dition to the provisions of the law it
me.., the regulations governing dealers
in sugar prohibit the licensee from
charging an exhorbitant, unreasonable
r unfair commision, profit or storage
harge. They also provide that resales
within the same trade without reason
able justification, if tending to result
in higher market price to the retailers
r consumers, will be dealt with as an
unfair practice..
The' United States Food Administra
tion has taken the position that sugar
anould not retail for more than eleven
eenU, and where it is retailing for
more it indicates that either the whole
saler or retailer is making an unreason
able profit.
" While, the National Food Admin
- Istration has disbanded, yet the Sugar
j EqaUization Board is still in existence
with emcee in New York City. Thus it
- l we are enabled to aseertairi what the
price of sugar should be. It Is more dif
ficulty to ascertain' the price of other
commodities, but fair price committees

To Be Truly Economical
There Should Be a Majestic
In Your Kitchen.
economy is not merely spending the
least money buying a range at too low la
a price is indeed talse economy.
The first cost is not the only cost the
little additional first cost of a Majestic
is nothing compared with its economy
of fuel, durability and satisfactory ser
vice. Nearly a million Majestic Ranges, now
economically, scientifically and satisfac
torily serving millions and millions of
people, civilians and soldiers, is proof
positive of their superiority over all
others.
There is only one best. The public has
judged. The Majestic is recognized as
the standard of all ranges. The con
struction, material, workmanship and
beauty of this wonderful range is une
qualled, and it embodies important fea
tures possessed by no other range.
YOUR OPPORTUNITY IS HERE
At our store during our Majestic Bar
gain Week. It's vour chance to p-et ac
quainted with real facts about ranges, m
We assure you it will be worth your
while to investigate. M
m
it's a striking beauty-
deep.
Oh, Joy! Top Needs No Blacking
A smooth, highly polished cooking top,
burnished blue, not only adds to the
beauty of the Majestic, but absolutely
eliminates the work, dirt and worry of
trying to keep the range looking nice
just an occasional thin coat of paraffine
retains its beautiful velvet blue color.
If you haven't a MAJESTIC, avail yourself cf this cn: ru i;ii to get
