The above margins will not show the grocer any profit, but an actual loss, as their working and trade expenses ara now fully 20 per cent, brought about by shorter hours and a further bonus and. higher wages. This, on a basis of 2a 4}d* wholesale, works out at 2s,Bd per lb retail for cash across the counter and a penny extra booked and delivered.”
