Mayo Furniture Co. is writing to Congressman George A. Schwabe to express concern over the Office of Price Administration granting price increases to mattress manufacturers, with the expectation that retailers absorb the cost. They argue that retailers' profits are based on abnormal wartime conditions and that passing on the increase to consumers would be more fair. They also highlight similar issues with price increases on other home appliances. Mayo Furniture Co. urges Congressman Schwabe to take action to allow retailers to pass on these cost increases to consumers.
