- Description:
- The document from Cain's Coffee Company to George B. Schwabe, a member of the House of Representatives, explains the difficulties they are facing with the Office of Price Administration (OPA) in procuring coffee at established ceiling prices. The company highlights issues such as shippers evading ceiling prices, competition from European countries, and larger distributors purchasing coffee above ceiling prices. They request relief in the form of either removing regulations on coffee or allowing a reasonable increase in ceiling prices. They urge Schwabe to support efforts to address the situation and provide relief to small and medium-sized roasters.
