The most effective weapon o f monopolistic business against
the smaller, independent home dealers has been Price Cutting
underselling regardless o f cost until fair competition is eliminated
and leaves the consumer helpless.
Yet, the department o f justice o f the recent national admin
istration sued, as a trust, the manufacturer o f a very successful
article, though it has over 100 competitors, on the plea that under
the Sherman act the manufacturer must not prevent the big chain
stores, mail order houses and the price cutters in general from o f
fering well known, standard goods at less than your home dealer
can afford to sell them, just as a bait to get his trade away.
Thte Government makes no mention o f the fact that the loss
which the monopolists entail on these goods by cutting prices, is
made up by them by overcharging on unbranded articles o f fluctu
ating value. The Government makes no mention o f the fact that
the Sherman act was intended to prevent those very methods o f
business that create monopolies.
What will become o f the little dealer— your home dealer— if
the Government wins the suit and clears the path fo r the unfair
price cutters?
