There is one vital part of our war efi'ort.which depends on you.. Yourgovernment. has placed a ``ceiling" on retail prices. You are the buyers of four out ofevery five dollars worth -of all the goods sold in this' couhtry. Your whole -hearted heli is needed in this price control' plan. If every womaai 4d.oes her part, it cannot fail. •e Its success will be a big step on the road to 'victory. Its failure would be a serious blow to our war effort: You can tip the balance towards success. ,- `Will you, thep; undertake r+ci make the successful control of, commodity prices an °established. fact? We know you will. And we know that when you undertake • . this task it is. as good as done. This is the work yon:_ are asked to do 1, Make a list._ ot..commodities .. ,t_• We want you to sit down today and make a list , of the .things you buy from week to week and from month to month. Write down food and clothing items° is particular; because these account for the biggest share of your expenditures. But we want you to list those articles you buy at the drug store, hardware store, and other.stores, too. - 2. Make notes about quality • Now go over your list again arid mark down the necessary detains about quality, tgpi:,.grade and size. Then when making fiiture purcb1ises you will- be able to compare values as well as prices. ro • .3. Write down prices After `each item we want you to write down, if you can, the highest price charged at your store during the period September 15 to.October 11, 1941. If you cannot remember the prices charged during that period, fill in ,your list with today prices. Our survey shows that retailers, with few exceptions, are. keeping. prices well within the "ceiling" levels. As exceptions are being discovered they are being, gtuckly brought into line, . 4. Keep • this 1i1 —uSe it when you.,buy! :N .ke, up this price list .neatly and kCcluatel . You will hot be able to get `all the items at ojce.,;Keep adding to your list from - day to day. Make it your perthanent checklist your personal safeguard against any further rise in prices. Prices May be Dil'li rent in Different ,Stores There has always been a difference in rices in different stores—even stores in the same locality. This may depend • on the kind of service the store gives, br the way it oper- ates: Some stores, for instance, have delivery service, give credit,,ot, provide other extra services. ' • Under the new Price. Ceiling Order there°will still be differences in prices at ` different stores. The new price regulations' will nor do away with competition. The high-. `?: -'est prices in any particular store must not be higher than ,the highest + prices in force in' that stare during the period September: 15 to October 11. They may be a. little lower oro little higher than the prices in other stores. The prices yarn will• mark down will be Cho, hhest prices charged at the store ,where you shop. • A Few Points to Remember 1. ,The ceiling price is 'net" necessarily the price you paid. .It is the highest price at which ,the store sold the particulai;'item between September 15 and. October 1 • • 2. 'A merchant may reduce his prices for sales or other reasons -he may also raise them provided they do not go . above the ceiling price. ".. 3. Variations in seasonal prices on fresh fruits and vegetables are permitted,, Rulings on seasonal markets will be announced from time to time by the Wartime Prices and Trade Board in newspapers and over the radio. 4. Fill out your price list without bothering your mer- chant. In many cases he is making a financial sacrifice to • sell under the price ceiling. The war has left him short- - staffed and ,the Christmas rushais on. • Items most frequently' bought 1 This is.not intended as a complete list. It is simply offered 'as a guide.
