‘‘If ceiling prices have not been
posted conspicuously” Mrs. Her
mann continued, "the customer
should ask the merchant why
not. Every inquiry will serve as
a warning on the merchant that!
his operations are being watched.
If, after one inquiry, the custom
er does not find the ceilings post

The importance of aaking for
sales slips in making purchases
of goods that seem unduly high
was also emphasized by the Al
aska Director. Under OPA reg
ulations, she pointed out, the
merchants are required to give
sales slips if the customer asks
for them. The slip should show
the amout of the goods purchas
ed, as well as the sum paid for
it.
“Serious penalties are provid
ed for the violation of any part
of the regulations”, Mrs. Her
mann stated. “The merchant
may be fined in an amount up
to $5,000., or sentenced to as
much as a year in prison. He
may have his license revoked for
a period of months, and civil
redress is provided whereby
every customer may recover
three times the amount of each
overcharge, or $50., whichever is
the larger amount.
“However”, Mrs. Hermann
continued, “Do not try to be a
price policeman. Leave that to
the enforcement staff of the
OPA Be vigilant, but do not be
a vigilante. If you think vou are
being overcharged, ask your
merchant about it. He may have
a perfectly good explanation. If
he hasn’t, then ask for your sales
slip and forward your complaint
to the proper authorities. It will
receive prompt and efficient con
sideration.”
