Option Is Given
Stores Doing Less
Than $100,000
Retail stores doing less than
$100,000 total store volume a year
may elect not to ffle a chart under
Ceiling Price Regulation No. 7, It
?vas announced from Washington
Monday in a dispatch to Director
Ben E. Douglas, Charlotte.
Further relief is given to stores
coirtg a relatively small volume of
business in housewares, notions,
sporting goods, silverware, china
ware, glassware, jewelry, watches
and clocks. Stores doing less than
gfiO.OOO annually in these catego
ries of items may elect to price
tbem under General Ceiling Price
Regulation rather than under No.
7 irrespective of the total volume
of business done by the store.
These are the two main provi
sions in this amendment. A third
provision retains a principle of
the original regulation No. 7 which
gives the option to any retailer
whose total sales of the items cov
ered by No. 7 is less than $20,000
annually to remain under the Gen
eral Ceiling Price Regulation, the
message to Director Douglas made
it dear.
In announcing today that the
amendment was forthcoming, the
Washington OPS warned that all
other retailers selling items con
trolled by OPR 7 and Ms amend
ments must file their pricing
< harts by May 31 if they want to
continue to sell legally after that
data. There will be on extension of
tnat deadline, it was emphasized.
It was also pointed out that a
retailer who elected to remain un
der the General Ceiling Price Reg
ulation does not have to notify OPS 1
If a retailer who has already filed
Vs chart under Regulation 7 end
Is not eligible to remain under GPR
and wishes to do so, he has until
July 2 to request the return of his
chart from his OPS district office 1
If he has not so requested, then .
after that date he must continue
tr price under Regulation 7.
In announcing this amendment
OPS also announced that an a
nmdment to CCFR is being is
Hied which will give relief to cer
tain "squeeze" contitions In which
merchants have been caught un
der General Ceiling Price Regula
tion.
It is estimated that at least
cce-third of the stores originally
oovered by No. 7 are now eleg-1
ible to elect to remain under the
General Ceiling Price Regulation.
