3162. Will it be under 15?-I think it will be.
3163. That is not taking into consideration the fact that they are paid for in goods?-There is nothing like 15 per cent. in that view. I am taking the whole profit in every way connected with them.
3164. But the question I am asking is, whether, calculating the cost of production in money as I have done just now, and calculating the selling price in money, the profit realized upon these two invoices you have handed to me will amount to 10 or 15 per cent.?-I don't exactly understand the question.
3165. We have been calculating the cost of the article to you?- Yes; and the real cost to us, I would say the profit will be 15 per cent.
3166. Then, in addition to that, you sell goods to the parties who bring in the articles?-Not in addition to that.
3167. You don't mean to say that you give your goods in return for these articles at cost price?-No, we don't.
3168. You have a profit upon the goods?-Yes; but we don't have a separate profit of 15 per cent. on the hosiery.
3169. But the purpose of the calculations we have been going into just now is to show what the hosiery costs?-Yes; what is the cost to Mr. Linklater.
3170. How do you get at the actual cost?-I cannot get at it exactly. I really don't know what it is.
3171. But when you say you pay a woman 10s. for knitting, that is marked down in your book as the price paid to her for knitting, just in the same way as if it had been paid in money?-Yes; but I say that we don't have 15 per cent. of profit on these goods over and above the profit we have on the goods given to the knitter.
