New York Price War Sends Shoppers Frenzy
In New York on the third day of a wide open price war shoppers flooded stores as barred entrances and sold out shelves sparked frenzied scenes at Macy's Gimbel's and Bloomingdale's. Bloomingdale's restocked suits at 1930 while other items saw deep discounts with several popular brands selling below former manufacturer suggested prices. The surge followed a Supreme Court ruling limiting manufacturer price setting in states without fair trade pacts.
