Zurich Herald, 1942-12-10, Page 4PAO M .tim 440 EFFECTIVE NOW This action is taken in line with the Government's declared determi- nation to stabilize living costs on a basis that is fair to all. It is a developing attack on the menace of inflation which arises out of wartime conditions. The prices of tea, coffee and oranges are now lowered by official order. Plans for reduction in the price of milk to the consumer are also under way and will be announced in the near future. The items chosen have been selected because of their important place in the weekly budget of every home in Canada. TEA and COFFEE Effective now—the retail price of tea is reduced by 10c per pound and the retail price of coffee by 4c per pound below the recent lawful ceiling prices. The table below indicates how the reduction of 10c per pound applies to less -than -pound packages; and is for purposes of illustration only.

TEA BAGS Reductions in retail prices of tea packaged in tea bags must correspond to those made on packaged tea. ORANGESOranges must be reduced to give consumers the benefit of the reduction in cost to retailers brought about by lower prices for the new crop, by seasonal removal of import duty (effec- tive December 1st, this year) and by the removal of the War Exchange Tax.
