GROUP
WANTS SHOE HOLIDAY
Claims New
Ration Stamps Being Saved
WASHINGTON,
D.C.—The National Association of Popular Price Shoe Retailers, Inc., on
December 21 proposed a rationing holiday on shoes. It asked that the temporary
holiday be initiated immediately for fifteen million leather shoes. This is the
number of shoes the retail group states is frozen on store shelves, all in the
four-dollar class. The group claims the public is refusing to use ration
stamps, instead saving the new stamps to purchase higher-priced shoes. The
group also claims the temporary holiday would offset inflation of shoe prices
and allow the currently short supply to be extended. The group states the
current system “…has operated like a glacier, freezing one price line after
another in its path…” opens up.
