Bread price study prompts standardization push
The Federal Trade Commission will finish its bread production cost estimates for Food Administration use. Officials expect voluntary compliance with new industry rules to lower costs though direct regulatory power is absent. The administration cites cheaper flour and capped miller profits as paths to cheaper bread. A 32-point survey shows wide price variation, with 12 ounce loaves at 6 cents in Annapolis and Westminster and 16 ounce loaves at 6 to 15 cents nationwide.
