Summary	The present war has cut the normal rubber supply for the United States by about 95 percent. The War Production Board has restricted the grade and quantity of rubber which may be used by the rubber heel industry. Crude rubber is no longer available for the manufacture of heels. The amount and quality of reclaimed rubber which may be put into heels for civilian use have been greatly reduced. These restrictions have made it necessary to control the resale price of both the old and new types of rubber heels. The Office of Price Administration has determined the maximum prices that may be charged for rubber heels. The prices you charge may not be higher than these Maximum Prices. You are allowed and encouraged to charge lower prices than the maximum prices. Prices charged by individual shops may still vary, but every shop is subject to the same ceiling prices. I am enclosing with this letter a maximum price list for all types and grades of rubber heels and a list showing the relationship between manufacturers' brand names and grades... This list must be displayed in a prominent place in your shop on and after September 1, 1942... All heels manufactured after September 1, 1942, will carry the markings V-1, V-2, V-3, or V-4 on the face of the heels. These markings are in accordance with certain specifications as to wear. The maximum attached price of these new Victory Heels must be determined by the grade symbol and not the brand name... I know that you are going to cooperate to the fullest extent with the Office of Price Administration... Sincerely yours, Leon Henderson, Administrator.--p. 1.
