Public education on true profits of retailers urged
E. E. Hargrave of Jewel Food Stores Chicago says public polls mislead about business profits. He notes two thirds think profits exceed 20 percent, some claim 60 percent, while actual profits run around 5 percent of sales and food chains earn even less.
