![["The Maximum Average Price Plan is a pricing program developed in connection with the joint WPB-OPA program. It requires manufacturers of apparel to sell their merchandise at prices no higher on average than in the 12 months ending June 30, 1943. Manufacturers must still adhere to product ceilings but must also produce enough lower-priced items to ensure the average price does not exceed the specified period. The plan aims to bring back low and medium-priced apparel to the market and control the cost of clothing items by restoring prices to the level of 1942-43. Manufacturers will be given time to adjust their production to comply with the order, and exemptions may be set for industries facing challenges in meeting the maximum average price."]](https://jones-2.s3.amazonaws.com/George%20B.%20Schwabe%20Collection%20/CAC_CC_047_1_0000_0000_0000-79th%20Congress,%201945-1947/CAC_CC_047_1_3_46_0000-Price%20Administration,%201945/Thumbnails/CAC_CC_047_1_3_46_0011_thumbnail.jpg "Restoring Fair Pricing: The Maximum Average Price Plan")
