CONSUMERS
of Heppner and
Morrow County
SpGCtxlCuldT CIS6 in prices of a few commodities
has taken place despite assurances from high governmental author
ity that no scarcity in food stuffs exists. Increased prices reflect only
the rise in wholesale costs over which we have no control.
These Independent Merchants of Heppner have not and will not
change their policy of reasonable profit margins.
As pointed out by Secretary Wallace, there is an abundance
of all kinds of food in this country. Consumers can assist by avoid
ing uncalled for increase in commodity prices by keeping their pur
chases on a normal scale. Abnormal buying and hoarding will ex
haust retail and wholesale stocks, thus creating an artificial scar
city which will result in abnormally high prices and without compen
sating benefits to producers.
Adequate governmental machinery exists for stabilizing prices
and supplies, and may be called upon if it should be neessary to pro
tect consumers against violent price fluctuations.
We pledge our co-operation with governmental agencies and
producers in all efforts to stabilize prices, discourage profiteering,
and maintain facilities for orderly food distribution.
