Ceiling Prlce lncreases for Odd Stock Millwork

Washington, D.C., N{arch 27-Ceiling price increases, that have been authorized for stock millwork items since maximum prices were frozen originally at the March, 1942 levels are extended to odd stock millwork in an amendment issued by the Office of Price Administration today.

Odd stock milhvork is made by slightly modifying stock millwork items for special uses.

The amendment, effective March 31, 1945, provides jobbers with a method of pricing odd stock millwork through extending the maximum price regulation for stock mill' work to include coverage of odd stock items.

It will restore the customary relationship betrveen the prices of odd stock millwork and stock items from which the;- are produced and simplify pricing procedures fot' rnilln'orl< jobbers, OPA said.

Since odd stock millwork constitutes only about one per cent of jobbers' sales, the price advances resulting from the amendment will be extremely small. It is estimated that they will amount to only a few cents on a five thousand dollar building project.

Jobbers have frequently been selling odd stock millwork items at the original "freeze" levels while ceilings of stock items have increased an average of seven per cert over General Maximum Price Regulation levels. Improper price relationships have resulted together with difflculty in checking odd stock ceilings due to new maximum prices on all stock items.

Usual odd sto'ck millwork pricing procedure in the past has been for jobbers to add a published extra-listed in dollars and cents or a percentage of the stock item priceto the March 7942 ceilings of comparable stock items. In the future, jobbers may add their March 1942 published extras to the higher ceilings for stock millwork items set out in Maximum Price Regulation 525. As a condition to the use of such prices, however, jobbers are required to file their list of odd stock extras with OPA.

Another provision authorizes a seller of stock millwork items, which are included on stock lists for the area in which delivery is made but for which no mark-up (price schedule) is provided, to apply to OPA for approval of a mark-up. Currently, such applications are limited to items, that are not included in the area sto,ck lists.

(Amendment 6 to Maximum Price Regulation 525-Jobber Sales of Stocks Millwork, effective March 31, 1945.)
