ated in the county.
Among these is the famous
"Schley' pecan which was orig

RATI0N-FREE SHOE
SALES CONTINUED

Wilmington retail shoe stores
are being given an extra week
through February 5-to make ra-
tion-free sales Of limited quanti-
ties of women's shoes at So or
less pair, the New Hanover
War Price and Rationing board
announced Saturday.
Retailers had been granted a
two-week period, January II
through 20, for the ration free
sales. The period is extended to
three weeks by the Office of Price
Administration at the request of
the trade in order to promote or.
derby buying and avoid rush
that would put heavy pressure on
limited store personnel.
Rationing officials explained for
the information of consumers that
this release does not mean that
all women's shoes priced at So
and under are automatically re-
moved from rationing. 1t simply
means that certain types and quail
titles of slow-moving stocks, chief
ly novelty" types, now may be
sold ration-free if the dealer does
not charge more than So pair.
Each individual dealer decides
what shoes he will sell ration-free,
on the basis of slow-movers in his
stock, rather than on straight
price basis.
