Excerpt from Resale Price Maintenance Legislation in the United StatesThe state which has enacted the most comprehensive legislation of all 13 California, which had added a law prohibiting sale below cost to its Fair Trade Law and its statute forbidding discriminatory discounts. The new law applies to all sales. Its price floor is not defined as clearly as that of the Retail Drug Control Act of Connecticut. The loss limitation act is stated to be an emergency measure, protecting manufacturers and distributors from bankruptcy caused by competitive sales at less than cost. Resale of liquidation stocks is so circumscribed as to prevent the disruption of a market with goods bought at distress prices. The California law prohibiting sale below cost is therefore a generalized enactment of all code provisions on cost protection. It is narrower in that it applies only, to intrastate transactions, and broader in that it includes even those industries which did not have cost protection in their codes.About the PublisherForgotten Books publishes hundreds of thousands of rare and classic books.
