TO THE WOMEN OF CANADA
Here is ne 1, t"li F` ar J
whic t You Alone Gan Do
-Ceiling Prices" Must Be Maintained
This is an appeal to the women of Canada. There is
one vital part of our war effort which depends on you.
Your government has placed a "ceiling" on retail
prices. You are the. buyers of four out of every five dollar:
worth of all the goods sold in this country. • four
whole -hearted -help is needed in this price control plan.
If every woman does her parr, it cantwt fail.
This is the work y

these' a,C„int tar the biggest share of _your exp(nditures. 14ut
we watt you to list those articles you buy at the drug store,
hardware store, and other scores, too
2. flake notes *bout quality
Now go over your list again and mark down the necessary
details about quality, type, grade and size. Then when making
future purchases you will be able to compare values as well
as prices.
Its success will he a big step on the road to victors.
Its failure would he a serious blow to our tear effort.
You can tip the balance towards success.
Will you, then, undertake to make the successful
i.ontrol 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.

Make up this price list neatly and accurately. You will
not he able to get all the items at once. Beep adding to your
list from day to date. Make it your permanent check list-
your personal safeguard against any further rise in prises.
Prices May be. ]Different in Different Stores
There has always been a difference in prices in different
srores- even stores in the same locality. This may depend
4.114 the kind of service the store gives, or the way it oper-
ates, Some stores, for instance, have delivery service, give
credit, or provide other extra services.
Under the new Price Ceiling Order there will still be
differences in prices at different stores. The new price
regalations will not do away with competition. The high-
est prices in any particular store must not be higher than
the highest prices 111 force in that stare during the period
Soptembcr 15 to October 11. They may be a little louver
or a little higher than the prices in other stores.
The pries jou will mark down will be the highest
prices changed at the store where „au shop.
A Few Points to Remember
1. The ceiling price is not necessarily the price yore
paid. It is the highest price at which the store sold rhe
particular item between September 15 and October 11.
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 mar
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 rush is on.
--- Items most frequently bought - ---
This is not intended as a complete list. It is simply offered as a guide. Add to it the other items you buy or expect to buy.

Why you must
To ensure the success of this price control plan, every
woman in Canada should make a list. Retailers are showing a
splendid spirit of co-operation. The great majority of them are
determined to make this plan work, bur if ,yaa do not co-
operate the whole plan might fail -- prices might start to
skyrocket. So keep your fist handy. Check the prices you pay
against it.

As to community action, it 4411141
thought that co-operative marketing.

farm products, such its cream, eggs

well, effecting a substantial saving
on gasoline used by trucks in ass-
embling these products.
.At the present time the Govern-
ment could do little more than it
was doing in regard to securing more
markets—the big problem was to be
sure of fulfilling existing contracts.
Such was the opinion of the majori-
ty of those. present, It was felt that
some well organized plan should be
agreed upon to put agricultural pro-
duction on a more business -like ba-
sis.
