[Certain article, he may pass on |
. the freight cost increase like
this: “1. He may mark up his
freight cost on the article by
the amount of the increase
* (20 percent). 2. Then he may
apply his normal 30 percent
markup to the result of his
selling price.”
‘‘Thirty per cent of 20 per
cent is 6 per cent. Thus, the
original 20 per cent freight
increase is pyramided into 26
per cent by the time it reaches
the consumer, ” Hanford said.
He added that this was only
an example and the actual in
I crease would depend upon the
merchant’s regular percentage
mark-up.
Rabbits Produce
Huge Litter
A birth of 16 rabbits in one
litter, to one of their Rex fur
bearing rabbits, is announced
this week by Mr. and Mrs.
John Given, KEA employes
who run the A-J Farm as their
hobby.
Over a year ago, Mr. and
Mrs. Given purchased three
of the rabbits, two does and
one buck, and now have ap
proximately 75 of them.
The rabbits have a short
heavy fur, similar to chin
chilla, and come in black,
white, grey, brown and lilac.
The breed was discovered in
France about 25 years ago,
Mrs. Given said, by a peasant
who found two of the bunnies
in a deserted nest in the woods.
He took them to a nearby
monastery, where they were
bred.
The A-J Farm has not
taken any pelts from their
Rex rabbits as yet. They are
continuing to breed them, to
get enough to produce more
furs, but next winter expect
to start taking the pelts.
The pelts are not sold on the
fur market, Mrs. Given said,
but sent to a tanner who tans
them, and makes up the gar
ments on the order of the fur
farmer.
Coast Guard Seeks
Marker Suggestions
The U. S. Coast Guard has
received suggestions that
light structures in Alaska
would be more distinguishable
in the winter time if painted
a color other than white.
A questionnaire requesting
information from masters of
vessels regarding the best
color and markings may be
obtained by writing Comman
der, 17th CG District, Juneau,
The questionnaire asks if
the structures could be more
readily seen if painted with
diagonal stripes of a contrast
ing color.
There is also space on the
sheet for other recommenda
tions to improve the visibility
of light structures.
