Here is One Big War Job Which You Alone Can Do
In another message to the women of Canada, Donald Gordon, the Chairman of the Wartime Prices and Trade Board, he asks of homemakers around the country to "determine whether the most valuable use is being made of the materials, manpower, and factories". In this radio message Gordon asked women across Canada to make a list of commodities, note their quality, write down their prices, and keep this list in mind when shopping to ensure that "ceiling prices" were maintained.
