AMENDMENT TO CODE OF FAIR COMPETITION FOR THE 

WASHING AND IRONING MACHINE MANUFACTURING 

INDUSTRY 

The following Amendment to Article VII, Subsection A, Paragraph 1, does not involve any new principles but helps to further 

clarify the intent of the Code. 

( 4 ) ARTICLE VII, SUBSECTION A, PARA GRAPH 1 : 

1. Sales Below Oost.-To sell or exchange any product of the 

industry at a price or upon sμch terms or conditions which will 

result in the buyer paying for the goods received less than the 

cost to the member of the industry, determined in accordance with 

a uniform and standard cost accounting system to be recommended 

by the Code Authority and to become effective upon approval by the 

Administrator; provided, however, that dropped lines, seconds, or 

inventories of finished products which must be converted into cash to 

meet emergency needs may be disposed of in such manner and on 

such terms and conditions as are necessary to move such products into 

the buyer's hands; and further provided that selling below cost 

in order to meet existing competition on products of equivalent 

design, character, quality or specifications shall not be deemed a 

violation of this Article if specific notice is given to the Code 

Authority. 

The following amendment adds a Paragraph 8 to Article VII, 

Subsection A. This amendment provides protection for the industry 

and the con umer against inaccuratB advertising. 

( 6) ARTICLE vn, SUBSECTION A, P ABAGRAPH 8 : 

8. Inaccurate Advertising.-N o member of the industry shall publish advertising (whether printed, radio, display or any other nature) which is misleading or inaccurate in any material particular; 

nor shall any member in any way misrepre ent any goods; either 

of his own manufacture or of other members of the industry, with 

respect to the use, tra le mark, grade, quality, quantity, origin, size, 

substance, character, finish, material, content or preparation; nor 

shall any member in any way misrepre ent credit terms, policies, 

servi s or the nature or form of the business conducted either by 

himself or by any other member of the industry. No manufacturer 

shall grant adverti ing allowances to be expend d by customers to 

whom su h all wances are given on adverti ing whi h fails to conform to this provision.
