TO THE WOMEN OF CANADA
Here is One Big War Job
which You Alone Can 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 dollars
worth ofall the goods sold in this country. Your
whole -hearted help is needed in this price control plan.
If every woman does her part, it cannot fail.
This is the work y
1. Make a list of commodities
- 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 in 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 and mark down rhe necessary
derails about quality, type, grade and size. Then wheamaking
future purchases you will be able to compare values as well
as prices.
Its success will be a big step on tifOoad to victory.
Its failure would be a serious blow t.;:four war effort.
You can tip the balance towards succeis'.
Will you, then, undertake to Ina -4 the successful
control of commodity prices an estaOshed fact? We
u
1,
know yowill. And we know that„fr,te ,you undertake
this task it is as good as done. ''.*7- ,"i,j...
ou are asked to do
3. Write down prices
After each item we want you to write down, if yam can, the
highest price charged at your store during the period September
15 co October 11,1941. If you cannot remember, the prices charged
during that period, fill in your list with. today's 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 quickly brought into dine.
4. Keep this list —use it when you buy!
Make up this price list neatly and accurately. You win
not be able to get all the items a.t once. Keep adding to your
list from day to day. Make it your perntanent check list—
your personal safeguard against any further rise in prices.
Prices May be Different in Different Stores
There has always been a difference in prices in different
stores—even stores in the same locality. This may depend
on 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
regulations will not do away with competition. The high-
est prices in any particular store must not be higher than
the highest prices in force in that store during the period
September 15 to October 11. They may be a little lower
or a little higher than the prices in other stores.
The prices you will mark down will be the highest
prices charged at the store where you shop.
A Few Points to'Beinember
1. The ceiling price is not necessarily ahe peice-yee
paid. It is the highest price at which theestore sOld.. the
particular item. between September 15 and 'Ociobeta.p...
2. A merchant may reduce his 'prices for salee:se7ethe
reasons—he may also raise them provided they dcieeibt go,
above the ceiling price. .
3. Variations in seasonal prices ort fresh fruits easel
vegetables are permitted. Rulings on seasonal markets will
be announced ham time to time by:the WartimetPricas and
Trade Board in newspapers and over the raclio
4. Fill out your price list without Bothering: yetis alier-
,
chant. In many cases he is making a financial sacrifice to
sell under the price ceiling. The war haieleft *Lahore -
staffed and the Christmas rush on.

Why you must do your part
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, but if you do nor co-
operate the whole plan might fail — prices might start to
skyrocket. So keep your list handy. Check the prices you pay
against it.
If a price seems higher than thceeiling, ask your merchant
about it. If further information is necessary, report the full
details in writing. Address your letter to the'Prices and Supply
Representative, Wartime Prices and Trade Board it any of the
following: Vancouver, Edmonton, Regina, Winnipeg, North
Bay, London, Toronto, rockville, Montreal, 'Quebec City,
Saint John, Halifax, Charlottetown.
