Local War Price and Rationing Board chairs say OPA price ceilings saved Chicago Metropolitan Area residents $190 for every dollar in agency cost in retail purchases alone. They cite national figures: 135 million Americans spent $120 million on OPA last year, with per capita retail spending at $489 versus $660 if WWI price rises occurred. They note additional welfare from services and rents could triple the savings.
