It was a foolish piece of business".

the major criticism of the chains

Chains must pay the »ame

where the manufacturer can prove

As far as I know the Government
has not been very vigorous In en-forcing
this Act Some of the more
flagrant chain buying abuses, such
ta secret rebates, brokerage, "break-age",
etc, have been stopped, but
judging from letter from manufac-turers,
the "chiseling" problem is
lot yet solved
Many manufacturers blame their
