It bought 1,200,000 yards of material in Mexico and Brazil ol a type with OPA ceilings in this country of 14 to 15 cents a yard. The price paid was 31.75 cents a yard. “Finishing” with accom panying shrinkage and other fac tors, brought the cost up to 41.6 cents. OPA approved a ceiling price of 25 1-4 cents. Grant’s loss was $197,563. Orders Reduction The dresses were made up and put on sale at $2.98. OPA ordered a reduction to $2.80. “We didn’t make any money but we did get our customers some dresses,” Seidel commented. Army Man Is Appointed To State Department WASHINGTON, Feb. 27.—(U.R)— Maj.
