Shoeshines and Undertaking

From now on the bootblack, the mortician, the laundry man, the upholsterer, the locksmith, the cleaner and the garageman around the corner--to mention a few--can charge no more for their services than they did last March.-- OPA so ordered last week as it slapped ceilings over just about everything the law allows, brought 1,000,000 retail "commodity service" establishments and $5 billion-worth of business under price control.

Professional people--the dress model, the process server, the speakers' bureau, the tree surgeon etc.--can still charge what the traffic will bear, since they are exempt from the Price Control Act.
