JUNEAU--Retail coil
ing prices for all auto
mobile anti-freeze sold
in Alaska today were
fixed by the OPS in CPRj
111, effective January !
9
Dollars and cents
ceilings were establish
ed for standard grades
of specified types of
non-volatile or perma
nent character. A form
ula was also establish
ed for the fixing of
ceiling prices on sub
standard ^rados of
these same types.
Coiling prices estab-!
lished by the regula
tion generally are 5 to
10 cents below current
retail prices. The OFS
said, however, that
they reflect the same
cost-price relationship
as that enjoyed by sell
ers of anti-freeze in
the period May 2ip, 1950
to June 2ii, 1950, and
meet the requirements
of the most recent a
mondents to the Defense
Product ion i4ct.
Tho OPS in announcing ,
the now action pointed j
out that it is a "Doll-j
ar and Cents" rcgula- j
tion and consequently j
is one of those which j
the agency is striving
to issue in tho inter
ests of the consumer
and the seller because
it makes the determin
ation of ceiling prices
much easier and simpler
for both.
Tho dollar and cents j
prices established by
tho regulation and the
formula for establish
ing coiling prices for
the specified sub-stand
ard grades are applic- .
able only to designated’
types of anit-freezo
manufactured outside of;
Alaska and sold in the j
panhandle cities of ■
laska and the i.nchoragej
and Fairbanks areas, i
where 77*5 percent of !
all tho motor vehicles I
used in the Territory j
are registercl. i
The OF3 pointed out j
that anit-freezo is a '
"must" for all water
cooled motors in ..laska'
