Red Cross Receives 1000 From Flour Profiteer Case
The Red Cross was enriched by $1000 yesterday after Jacob Nathanson of Brooklyn agreed to a war period compromise with the Federal Food. Nathanson was found to be a flour profiteer for selling wheat and rye flour at profits above the 75 cent per barrel limit. He had earned $1163.65 more than permissible between January 17 and March 22. The Food Board initially revoked his license but later allowed him to continue business upon paying the Red Cross.
