P art 1346 B uilding Materials PRICE SCHEDULE NO. 40 BUILDERS HARD
WARE AND INSECT SCREEN CLOTH

Builders hardware, which includes such items as knobs, handles, locks, hinges, and window bolts, and insect screen cloth are important elements in building construction, and as such have considerable significance both in the de fense program and in the civilian econ omy. Shortages of their basic raw materials, chiefly copper, and to a lesser extent such metals as zinc and tin, have produced inflationary pressure upon builders hardware and screen cloth, most noticeably in the case of existing inventories. The issuance by the Office of Production Management of Conserva tion Order No. M - 9 - c 1 on October 21, as amended November 3, severely curtailing at once the use of copper in builders hardware and screening among other things, and prohibiting its use therein altogether after January 1, 1942, will tend to cause an accentuation of this pressure on inventories.
The present schedule, instead of speci fying the ceiling price for each item of builders hardware and screen cloth, fixes as maximum prices on a group of named items the highest prices prevailing during the thirty-day period ending October 21, 1941. This action is taken because of the difficulty of classifying these prod ucts, and because of the danger of in flationary price action during the time that would be required for the prepara tion of individual schedules covering each product.
16 F.R. 5394, 5589.

Accordingly, under the authority vested in me under Executive Order No.
8734, it is hereby directed that:
1346.1 Maximum prices for builders hardware screen cloth, a On and after November 19, 1941, regardless of the terms of any contract of sale or purchase or other commitment, no person, except a retailer as defined in 1346.7 b , shall sell, offer to sell, deliver, or transfer any of the builders hardware or screen cloth products set forth in Appendix A, incor porated herein as 1346.9, at prices higher than the maximum price.
b
1 The maximum price shall be the highest price received by the seller for the delivery during the period be tween September 22, 1941, and October 21, 1941, of builders hardware or screen cloth products of approximately the same grade, quality, and amount, to the same purchaser.
2 I f no such delivery to the same purchaser was made, the maximum price shall be the highest price received by the seller fo r a delivery during such period of builders hardware or screen cloth products of approximately the same grade, quality, and amount, to a pur chaser recognized by the trade as en titled to similar treatment.
3 I f no delivery of products of ap proximately the same grade, quality, and amount was made, the maximum price shall be determined from the price of a related builders hardware or screen cloth product, delivered during such pe riod, by making an appropriate adjust ment for differences in type of product, grade, quality, amount, and type of pur chaser. A related builders hardware or screen cloth product means one bearing a recognized or determinable price relationship to the product being sold.
4 In all other cases, the maximum price shall be the market price during such period for the same type of prod-
