MANY BUSINESS' MEN
DELINQUENT
Many Business men are
still delinquent in fil
• ing and other require
ments of OPS regula
tions, Neil S. Miller,
Anchorage branch manag
er, said today.
Miller said most of
those delinquent ,are in
the ..service trades. All
businesses which sell
a service at retail are
required to file a list
of their ceiling prices
with the OFS. Deadline
for filing was Septem
ber 25. Businesses in
this category would be
laundries, cleaners,
garages, repair shops
or an Kinas ana otner
similar sellers. Bar
bers and beauty shops
are exempt, however.
Filings may be made
either at the Anchor
! age office in the Pearl
Building, Box 1056, or
sent to the OPS, Box
2l|.8l, Juneau.
Ceiling prices filed
must be these that pre
vailed during the base
period December 19-Jan
uary 26, last. Service
sellers who increased
prices since the base
period did so illegally
Mr. Miller said.
In addition to filing
their ceiling prices
with the OPS, service
sellers also must con
spicuously post their
prices in their place
of business.
Turning to retail
businesses, Miller re
minded that all merchan
dise shipped in from
.outside the Territory
for resale must be
tagged or marked with
the selling price.Mark
ing of bins or trays,
containing merchandise
will be sufficient,
Miller said. V.ll re
tail merchants who wish
to change from the doll
ir-and-cent to a per
centage pricing system
mast first notify the
DPS, Miller pointed out.
