W Mrs. G. E. Groves, Mrs. E. Dubien, Mrs. To ensure the success of this price control plan, every woman in Canada should make a list. Retailers are showing a splendid spirit of coâ€"operation. The great majority of them are determined to make this plan work, but if you do not coâ€" operate the whole plan might fail â€"prices might start to skyrocket. So keep your list handy. Check the prices you pay against it. 2. â€" Make notes about quality Now go over your list again and mark down the necesâ€" sary details about quality, type, grade and size. Then when making future purchases you will be able to compare values as well as prices. 1. â€" Make a list of commodities Wz want you to sit down today and make a list of the things you buy from week to week and from month to month. Write down food and clothing items in particular, because these account for the biggest share of your expenditures. But we want you to list those articles you buy at the drug store, hardware store, and other stores, too. This is an appeal to the women of Canada. There is one vital part of our war effort which depends on you. Your government has placed a "ceiling" on retail prices. You are the buyers of four out of every five dollars worth of all the goods sold in this country. Your wholeâ€" hearted help is needed in this price control plan. If every woman does her part, it cannot fail. Under the new Price Ceiling Order there will still be differâ€" ences in prices at different stores. The new price regulations will not do away with competition. The highest prices in any particular store must not be higher than the highest prices in force in that store during the period September 15 to October 11. They may be a little lower or a little higher than the prices in other stores. The prices you will mark down will be the highest prices charged at the stores where youw shop. There has always been a difference in prices in different storesâ€"even stores in the same locality. This may depend on the kind of service the store gives, or the way it operates. Some stores, for instance, have delivery service, give credit, or provide other extra services. Prices May be Different in Different Stores Here is One Big which You Alone Can Do ublished under the authority of THE WARTIME PRICES AND TRADE BOARD, Oftawa, Canada This is the work you are asked to do "Ceiling Prices" Must Be Mamtained Brown.

Cote, Mrs. R Richeleau, Mrs. G. Chaput, Mrs. H Robin. Mrs. L. Brazeau, Mrs. J. Girouâ€" ard, Mrs. S. Blais, Mrs. G. Gauthier Mrs. L. Chartrand, Mrs. H. Levert, Mrs H. Martin, Mrs T.

S If a price seems higher than the ceiling, ask your merchant about it. If further information is necessary, report the full details in writing. Address your letter to the Prices and Supply Representative, Wartime Prices and Trade Board, at any of the following: Vancouver, Edmonton, Regina, Winnipeg, North Bay, London, Toronto, Brockville, Montreal, Quebec City, Saint John, Halifax, Charlottetown. 4. Fill out your price list without bothering your merchant. In many cases he is making a financial sacrifice to sell under the price ceiling. The war has left him short staffed and the Christâ€" mas rush is on. 3. â€" Write down prices After each item we want you to write down, if you can, the highest price charged at your store during the period Sepâ€" tember 15 to October 11, 1941. If you cannot remember the prices charged during that period, fill in your list with today‘s prices. Our survey shows that retailers, with few exceptions, are keeping prices well within the "‘ceiling‘‘ levels. As exceptions are being discovered they are being quickly brought into line. 3. Variations in seasonal prices on fresh fruits and vegeâ€" tables are permitted. Rulings on seasonal markets will be anâ€" nounced from time to time by the Wartime Prices and Trade Board in newspapers and over the radio. 4. Keep this listâ€"use it when you buy! Make up this price list neatly and accurately. You will not be able to get all the items at once. Keep adding to your list from day to day. Make it your permanent check listâ€" your personal safeguard against any further rise in prices. 1. The ceiling price is not necessarily the price you paid. It is the highest price at which the store sold the particular item between September 15 and October 11. 2. A merchant may reduce his prices for sales or other reasonsâ€"he may also raise them provided they do not go above the ceiling price. Its success will be a big step on the road to victory. Its failure would be a serious blow to our war effort. You can tip the balance towards success. Will you, then, undertake to make the successful control of commodity prices an established fact? We know you will. And we know that when you undertake this task it is as good as done. A Few Points to Remember Buillivan, Mrs. â€"W. Monette, Mrs. J. Korri, Mrs. A. Kallwkoski, Mrs. C.
