T

HE new Food Controller
promi.e. to pUDisIs profiteer•• It i. nottls.Grocer who
will come under tbe la.b. The
Grocer make. .maller profit.
tban almost any otber retailer.
Wben tbe Grocer gell rich it i.
not by tbe prices tbat he chargel
but the number tbat he serve••
Company Sbops have been very
prosperous during tbe Wartbey are price-cutters, not
profiteers. They make more
by underselling tban they could
by over-charging.
Prices have rilen. But 10
bave wages. Money will not
buy so much as it used, wholesale or retail. Look at 2/4
Control Tea! Better Tea wal
sold for 1/4 before the War.
Before a Grocer has sold a
pound of Control Tea it haa
cost him for r:ent, ga., and
wages more than the profit he
gets on it. He can't keep ahop
for nothinr.
Neither does it pay the cu.'
tomer. People are finding this
out. Salmon's 9d. Tea Wb.
packet at Salmon's Agents')
has more cups in it tban
Salmon's Control .Tea at 7d.,
and every cup better Tea. The
same is true at the Grocer's.
But It IS not the Grocer's profit
that makes good Tea cost 9d.,
it is the quality of the Tea that is
'Worth more than the difference.
