Price Ceilings
Are Set on Gas,
Electric Stoves
Consumers may now purchase
the new gas and electric stoves,
beginning to reach retail stores
at 1942 prices, State OPA director
Theodore S. Johnson said today.
OPA dollar-and-cent prices on
the two available types—the stand
ard range and the apartment size
stoves—vary widely just as stove
prices did before the war, John
son explained. However, a typical
price for a standard electric range
is $189 and for an apartment size
electric stove, $157. A typical price
for a gas stove is $75 for a small
size and $95 for the standard
range.
Each stove will be preticketed
by the manufacturer with its OPA
retail ceiling price, which includes
the installation service charge and
the federal tax, Johnson said.
With each electric stove, a one
year guarantee of satisfact^y
performance must be given, he
pointed out. Such guarantees also
were given with each electrie
stove sold before the war.

Now — it s just a penny in a
piggy bank. But soon his piggy
will be full. Then the pennies
will be taken to a real savings
bank.
The bank will put his pen
nies to work. Some of these
pennies almost certainly will.
be invested in electric utility
securities. Banks prefer these:
securities because sound busi
ness management has made
them a dependable invest
* ment—as dependable as elec
tric service itself.
So, the little boy has a per
sonal stake in the electric
power industry. Practically
every American has—mil
lions as direct stockholders, £
other millions as savings
bank depositors arid')ife
insurance owners. ,
This is the American eco
nomic system. It’s called capi
talism. It’s a good system. It '
helped make America great.
And it will continue to open
doors of opportunity for all
little boysand girls with piggy
banks.
