Household Steelwool
Prices to 'Be Checked
There appears to be developing
in certain areas a black - market
on household steel wool at both
wholesale and retail levels. This is
to request that you give special
attention to the prices on this
commodity in your area and report
your findings immediatetly to this
office if the prices found are in
excess of those in effect during
March 1942.
ill eel wool is covered by the
General Maximum Price Regula
tion; therefore, the prices today
should be the merchant's selling
prices during March 1942, for the
same or similar commodity. In the
event that the merchant did not
handle this item in March 1942,
then the highest price charged by
his most closely competitive seller
of the same class, for the same or
similar item, will become his legal
selling price.
