Cow Covers Dearer
(Special) AUCKLAND, This Day. The wholesale and retail prices of New Zealand-made cow covers had been the first larders to be affected by the withdrawal of the primary production subsidies, said Mr J. R. Don, secretary of the Auckland Manufacturers’ Association.
Mr Don said he had received advice from the Price Tribunal authorising manufacturers to pass the amount of the subsidy on to the sale price of the covers.
This would mean that the consumer would have to meet the increase. The new prices, which took effect last Saturday, are 12/10 wholesale and 15/5 retail for 240 z jute covers. These figures represent an increase of 2/3 on the previous prices for both amounts.
A subsidy of 2/11 has been adsed to the price for the cheaper 20-21 oz jute covers, which will now be 11/5 wholesale and 13/8 retail.
