J. FISHER - Flesherton EFFECTIVE NOW This action is taken in line with the Government's declared determi- nation to stabilize living costs on a basis that is fair to all. It is a developing attack on the menace of inflation which arises out of wartime conditions. The prices of tea, coffee and oranges are now lowered by official order. Plans for reduction in the price of milk to the consumer are also under way and will be announced in the near future. The items chosen have been selected because of their important place in the weekly budget of every home in Canada. TEA 311(1 COFFEE Effective now the retail price of tea is reduced by lOc per pound and the retail price of coffee by 4c per pound below the recent lawful ceiling prices. The table below indicates how the reduction of lOc per pound applies to less-than-pound packages; and is for purposes of illustration only. Tea formerly selling by the pound at $1.00 90c 85c Must now sell at per pound 90c 45c 24c 13c 80c 40c 22c 12c 75c 38c 21e lie pe r 1-7 pound . . per 1-4 pound per 1-8 pound BULK TEA The reduction in the maximum retail prices of bulk tea sold in quantities less than a pound should correspond to the reduction in retail prices for the small sizes of packaged tea. TEA BAGS Reductions in retail prices of tea packaged in tea bags must correspond to those made on packaged tea. UKANuto Oranges must be reduced to give consumers the benefit of the reduction in cost to retailers brought about by lower prices for the new crop, by seasonal removal of import duty (effec- tive December 1st, this year) and by the removal of the War Exchange Tax. Oranges should sell at or below the September- October 1941 retail price levels. BE SURE THAT YOU GET THE FULL BENEFIT OF THESE REDUCTIONS SPECIAL NOTICE TO RETAILERS: Retailers will be compensated for any loss on present stocks in order that these reductions may be enjoyed by the public immediately. Retailers should take inventory of their floor stocks of tea and coffee as of the close of business, Saturday, December 5th. They will shortly receive forms upon which to make their claims for compensation for losses on inventory due to these price reductions. - PC. 1 W THE WARTIME PRICES AND TRADE BOARD
