PRICES UPPED FOR ALL
FARM MACHINERY
WASHINGTON In its first of-
ficial action under the new price
control law, OPA yesterday au­
thorized an average six per cent
increase in retail ceilings for all
farm machinery and replacement
parts.
The increase, effective immed­
iately, restores dealers' peacetime
profit margins ax required by the
.OPA revival act.
OPA had reduced the margins
of retailers last May 10 when it
granted a 10 per cent increase in
manufacturers’ and wholesalers’
price ceilings.
