More Clothing on The Market Soon
Washington reports that more men's shirts shorts and women's and children's cotton dresses should be on the market within three to four months. Prices will be higher as OPA raises ceiling prices on most cotton textiles and yarns by five to ten percent and grants a five percent incentive to manufacturers of scarce cotton clothing. The cost to buyers may rise about 16 cents for an inexpensive shirt and 10 to 15 cents for a dress, with increased supply of medium priced shirts and lower priced house dresses expected.
