Top Food Prices
For Local Stores
To Be Announced
Top prices anr t or to tha Klamath Falls area may
charge, beginning Monday, May 10. 194!, tor nearly half the food
Mam i that go into tti housewife1! market basket, were announced
today by Edward Ostendorf, diatrlot director of the Klamath rails
OPA, Stores must plainly port their selling prices for those
Hemi. The complete text of the order will be published In the
Klamath News-Herald on Monday, May 10. Copies are being
mailed to all local food stores In the area today.
. The OPA action, taken simultaneously in more thao 190
Hies throughout the nation as a major step In the drive to "hold
the line" of the cost of living, will not alter the general level of
present ceilings but will enable1
the housewife to know In the
simplest terms possible the max
imum amount which a food store
may charge her under any cir
cumstances for a pound, a pack
age, or a dozen of any of the
hundreds of food items listed.
As a result, housewives will
find reductions in those prices
which have exceeded the ceil
ings. Week by week the district
office will establish similar over
all ceilings until virtually every
essential item in the family food
budget is listed.
Highlights of the OPA action
are:
(1) A top price is specified for
brands, grades, sizes or contain
er types of the listed products.
The price is the present maxi
mum at which small indepen
dent stores have been permitted
to sell these particular items. .
(2) Large-volume stores, hav
ing lower ceilings under present
regulations, must continue to ob
serve their present ceilings and
will not be permitted to use the
top prices listed today. ,
(3) A special staff of OPA
price investigators will be as
signed exclusively to checking
stores whose ceilings are below
the new top prices to make cer
tain that their lower ceilings are
observed.
(4) All retail food stores must
plainly mark their ceiling price
for all items on the new list. Tho
selling prices must appear on the
item itself or on the shelf or bin
where the food is displayed. '
(5) Top prices apply through
the following area: The city lim
its of Klamath Falls, and any
tores located on highways lead
ing out of Klamath Falls as far
south as, and including, Weyer
haeuser; as far east as, and in
cluding, the Lakeview junction,
and as far north as, and includ
ing, the Pelican Bay Lumber
company.
(6) Outside this area, stores
will remain under their present
ceiling prices. The area, how
ever, may later be enlarged.

"These simplified prices repre
sent a goal toward which OPA
has been working for months,"
Mr. Ostendorf explained. "The
new list of ceilings are the up
per limits under regulations
which have been in effect for a
number of months. In some in
stances, they are the ceilings of
the GMPR which has been in ef
fect nearly a year. Any rollback
which may be worked out to
lower prices of a number of sta
ple foods In line with an earl
ier announcement of Price Ad
ministrator Brown will cut
prices below the newly listed
tops. Besides the products listed
today, foods already under spe-
cifia dollars and cents maxl'
mums at retail are pork pro
ducts, for which every meat
store, without exception, must
disnlay an official UfA poster
showing its ceiling prices for in
dividual pork cuts. Similar
prices on beef, veal, lamb and
mutton and soap will be an
nounced within a week.
The list of top prices was
worked out in the district OPA
office operating under a wide
grant of authority from Wash
ington. For most products, the
ceilings were determined by ap
plying to the cost of merchan
dise the maximum mark-up per
mitted under existing regula
tions. Eggs were not included in
the list because they are for the
most part currently selling for
as much as ten cents below the
ceilings.
The list of top prices applies
only to retail stores. General
Drovision of price regulations
applying to retail sales remain in
force. Stores which have custo
marily given sales receipts or
slips to their customers musi
continue to do so. In addition,
regardless of store practice, any
customer who requests a receipt
must be given one showing the
date of sale, the name and ad
dress of the store, the custom
er's name, each food item sold,
and the price charged for each.
To protect the customer
against indirect price rises by
forced purchase of unwanted
merchandise in order to obtain
food under community-wide ceil
ings, the provision is set out that
the seller "must not, as a condi
tion of selling any food, require
a customer o Duy anyming
else."
Mr. Ostendorf stressed the im
portance of this new "Market
Basket" price regulation. House
wives are urged to clip the table
of prices from the paper, which
will be printed Monday, May xv,
1943. The complete text of the
price order will be published in
the News-Herald, along with the
table of prices set to-date, Mon
day, May 10, 1943.

His First Gift. . .
Each year Mother's Day will mean more to. him. As the
toddler .grows into the boy, and the boy grows to the man,
his tie of utter dependency wi II become an instinct to lighten
mother's burdens
We want him to eat lots of our enriched bread, and cjrow
up big and strong like daddy.. We want mother to depend
on Fluhrer's for her baking; to use our slenderizing (but vita
min rich) breads -- we want her. to stay young and beauti-
. ' iul '':.'.v r. .
To those of us whose business 1$ serving mothers, this day
means much. Our bakery business, first, is built on taking the
'drudgery of baking day .out of mother's life. More than
. that,: it is built on providing scientifically balanced ingredi
ents,' to be made into breads and pastries in our modern
bakery.:We are keeping at the job.
