During the second world war, greedy American store owners were inflating the prices on things that were in "short supply" to increase their profits. The Office of Price Administration was given the job of controlling retail prices to prevent un-fair prices in stores. They set a maximum price for each of a list of 40 basic items, so that store owners couldn't cheat people. Jim Bunting.
