Description: "POST CEREALS" RETAILER PROFIT CALCULATOR TOOL – (c) 1940 Walter T. Scott / General Foods. 11.75" x 2.5". Color litho on cardboard. This well-designed linear slide rule was used to calculate the retail price that should be charged for an item (such as a box of General Foods cereal), given the wholesale cost of a case of packages of the item, the number of packages in the case, and the percentage of profit desired on the selling price. The slide also has a table for the mark-up margin as a percentage of cost and as a percentage of selling price. It promotes Post Cereal new "Keep Fresh" wax wrapped packaging and "Post-Tens" assorted 10-packs. A well-designed overall retailer advertising presentation with nice graphics. Condition is considered GOOD to FAIR with moderate surface/stain/edge wear. Mild surface crease wear with two edge tears on die-cut window design (largest tear approx. 1/2"). Several small ink markings on percent of profit scale. Overall, we feel this item is in very displayable condition by most standards (see photos).
