Cast Iron Scsh Weight Ceiling Prices Cclculqted Under New Method

Retailers and wholesalers of cast iron sash weights are permitted by the Office of Price Administration to increase their ceiling prices up to the point rvhere their margins over cost equal average operating expense rates for the trade.

Effective January 30, 1946, resellers may either continue to sell at their present ceiling prices or use their laid-down cost plus their expense rate, rvhichever is higher. This action does not supersede area pricing orders which fix specific maximum prices on sash rveights in a particular area. In other words, a reseller may not increase his selling price if his present ceiling is higher than his new laid-down cost plus the average expense rate for the trade.

The expense rate for wholesalers is 15 percent over laiddown cost, and for retailers 30 per cent.

This pricing action is designed to relieve the hardship experienced by some sellers as the result of an increase of ten per cent in manufacturers' ceiling prices for cast iron sash weights, which resellers rn the past have been required to absorb in full.

(Amendment No. 17 to Second Revised Supplementary Regulation No. 14 to General Maximum Price Regulation; effective January 30, 1946.)
