New York Marketers Cut Butter 24 Cents In Protest
In New York a one day butter sale cut price 24 cents from 79 to 55 cents per pound as a protest against government price supports and surpluses. Albert Lowenfels and Patsy D Agostino arranged the price drop arguing free market would boost sales while per capita butter consumption has fallen since the war. They admitted losses on reduced price sales but said the move serves the public interest to prove demand rises with lower prices.
