- Description:
- The document is a letter and statement regarding "The Maximum Average Price Order" issued by the Office of Price Administration in April 1945. The order aims to regulate clothing prices to prevent inflation and ensure affordability for low and middle-income families. The order requires manufacturers to sell items at prices that do not exceed the maximum average price set during a base period in 1943. The program involves industry consultation and aims to increase production of lower-priced essential garments while reducing higher-priced lines. The order also freezes retailers' markups to pass on price reductions to consumers.
