P R E F A C E
The charts and tables in this publication have been selected to supply a useful analytical tool for those concerned with evaluating current price trends. Although based primarily upon the consumer and wholesale price indexes regularly published by the Bureau of Labor Statistics, a few other pertinent economic series have been included.
Most of the charts begin with 1963, when the first evidences of the current industrial price uptrend appeared, but a few start with earlier periods in order to supply historical perspective. This year, the Bureau published for the first time seasonally adjusted indexes for selected consumer commodities, and some charts compare the trends of these seasonally-adjusted indexes with the matching unadjusted indexes.
More detailed and comprehensive graphic presentations and tables can be found in Prices: A Chartbook. 1953-62 (Bulletin 1351) and theSeptember 1963 Supplement (Bulletin 1351-1).
This bulletin was prepared in the Branch of Price Economics of the Office of Prices and Living Conditions, Arnold E. Chase, Assistant Commissioner.
