Who’* Hie Villian?
The Sherman Rogers Publications has issued an amusing and informative booklet, done in cartoon style, called “Who's Profiteering in Food? ~~"It "deals-"with the seai ehnof~unrirste housewife, Maude Murdock, for the villians who are responsible for running her meat bill up. The pot roast that cost her 33 cents a pound in 1939 costs her 69 cents.now and she means to find out why.
First she levels her guns on the butcher—only to learn it isn’t his fault. Back in 1939, butchers received 26 cents of each meat dollar spent by consumers—now they take less than 16 cents. And out of it they must pay today’s high taxes, wages, rents and so on. They handle a lot of money, but very little of it sticks to their fingers.
