Roosevelt Signs Retail Stores Code Exemption
Washington Oct 2 President Roosevelt signed the code for retail stores just before midnight with an exemption for small town stores under 4500 population. The act takes effect in a week at the start of the new month and bars sales below invoice cost. It applies to chain stores on main streets and aims to shield small retailers from Code restraints. Officials estimate the exemption preserves the livelihood of many small businesses and may influence future codes. Treasury reporting shows October receipts and expenditures with a fiscal year balance and emergency outlays.
