Department stores may raise prices under OPS order
Washington says department stores may raise prices on most goods next Monday. Increases range from a penny or two on small items to a dollar or more on furniture, radios, and television sets. The Office of Price Stabilization notes most prices won’t rise much, as competition keeps many products below ceilings. OPS authorized the increases to offset freight and parcel post rate hikes since May 1951, with freight charges up 6 to 25 percent in many areas. Some large appliances are not covered and will get separate orders. It is noted a golf club head travels about two miles a minute for context.
