Increcrse in Moulding Prices

North Pordead, Orr Jeclaoavillc, FloGidr

An across-the-board increase of about 20 per cent over existing ceilings for softl,vood mouldings, other than Western pine, was authorized today by the Oflice of Price Administration.

The species of mouldings involved are sottthern pine, Arkansas soft texture pine, cypress, Douglas fir, redrvood, northern white pine and western red cedar.

The price increase, effective at all levels of distribution, goes into effect September 17, 1946. The action follorvs the similar price increase given to Western pine mouldings and thus restores the price relationships between the two groups.
