OPA ANNOUNCES NEW
RETAIL PRICES
I -
; The Alaska pricing policy for
all retail sales of new consumer
durable Roods was announced to
day bv.the Territorial OPA office
in Juneau, effective Territory-wide
beginning January 12.
Retail ceilings for heavier, bulk
| .
ler type of consumer durables,
such as refrigerators, washing
machines, radios, bed springs and
the like will be the Seattle retail
ceiling price printed on attached
tag plus the Alaska retailer's costs
of transportation from Seattle to
l
his place of business, local haul
ing charges excluded.
For such items as electric shav
ers, clocks, camera and photog
ranhic equipment, the Alaska re
tail ceiling shall be the same as j
the domestic Seattle retail ceiling
price on attached tag or label.
The Territory’s retailers are be-1
ing fully informed of the pricing
requirements and prohibitive sales
practices explained in Order A-3
to Alaska’s Revised Maximum
Price Regulations 194, which or
der generally adheres to prevail-1
ing pre-war pricing practices in
Alaska, according to OPA.
The anticipated heavy consumer
demand for most durable house- j
hold goods, due to Alaska’s acute i
scarcity since shipping restrictions !
shut off their supply as early as
1942, necessitated such a uniform
and readily enforcible price policy
the announcement stated.
Customer—I’d like a straw hat.
Clerk (slightly deaf*—Hey?
Customer, No, straw.
When You Finally Build That Home
AP Newtfeaturei
D IOHT now several million U.S. families are yvaiting for Hie day
lx when shortages end and they can build a new home. In the
meantime, it's fun to plan, so New York's Museum of Modern Art
has prepared an "If You Want to Build" exhibit based on a book
of advice to be published by the staff. These sketches, by Robert
Osborn, tell of things to remember as you plan your home.
MIXUP of ideas at start
of planning are certain.
TRADITION, literature and senti
ment have to be forgotten.
REMEMBER old designs can
never bo anything but phony.
LIST your preferences for small or big
rooms, light or dark. Small homes
can be made to seem big.
FAMILY size, children, likes for
rumpus or quiet must be charted
or trouble is sure.
GO fo architect with
desires, let him work
out plans in detail.
