Furthermore, according to Mr. Harvey Guertin, District Director. of the CPA, farm families and other cunsmners have the assur ance of Price Administrator Chea ter Bowles that controlling cloth ing prices is one of the most im pogtant parts of OPA’s postwar JO . “Clothing manufacturers are having some difficulty in turning out as much low-priced clothing as they normally would because of a temporary shortage of low-cost matgfials,”_Mr: Quertin explaineqi. “The end of the war and cut: in the needs of the armed forces will make more low-priced appar el fabrics available to clothing manufacturers, but it will take time to get more clothes for civil ians into production and to get them out to the stores where farm s¢md others can buy them," hei “More higher quality work clothes will also be found in stores in the next several months,” Mr. Guertin said. “Recent and future cutbacks in military requirements for such fabrics as twins, drills, jeans, moleskins _antl cottonadea are expected to make large quanti ties of high quality materials available to work clothes manu tacurers. Consumers may pay more for those higher quality work clothes because of the higher cost of the material, but the prices will beinlinewithMarcthprices 'for garments of comparable cost,” the GPA official explained. “the CPA recently took action on pric ing of this material which will hasten production of the work clothes,” Mr. Guertin said. tougTelte CPA: thing tagged with more 0 the proper retail dollar-and-cenis prices, so shoppers can readlb determine what the correct priceJ “We will extend this method of pricing over a wide range of mens’, o'womens’ and childrens’ clothing made of rayon and wool,” Mr. Guertin said. “Most child» ren’s wear made of cotton and good part of the cotton apparel produced for adults already are gel-h the dollar-and-dent pricw u e mlained ‘ FRESH mas 1 Ceiling prices for fresh apples grown 161 m Califorg‘a, It‘l'aho, Mons tana, gen ashington were increased tour cent a blah-l el, and ceiling prices on apples grown in other states' were in creased seven cent a bushel be ginning October l.

Consumers will begin to find household washing machines and ironers in the stores this fall and winter at pie-war prices. Har vey Guertin. District Director of the Office of Price Administra tion said today in a statement an nouncing the official issuance of \reoonversion pricing rules for the ‘manufacturers, distributors and dealers of these products. ‘ ‘ Every machine will be tagged with its retail dollar-and-cents ceiling, Guertin added, and this tag must stay on the machine until it is delivered into the buy ers bane. To make sure that inexpensive machines are available to families with limited incomes, CPA is en couraging manufacturers to make approximately the' same propor tion of' low-priced models that they produced before the war. The Spokane district is in Zone 8 where retail prices will range from $39.95 to $199.95.
