VII. CosT OF ADMINISTRATION 

The reasonable cost of initiation, approval, and administration of 

this Code shall be assessed on a pro rata basis upon members of the 

industry and accepting the benefits of the activities of the Code 

Authority under this Code, and shall be based upon the total volume 

of sales of builders supplies as defined within this Code. The Code 

Authority or its authorized agent shall determine the appropriate 

sum due from each such member of the industry, such determination 

to be subject to review by the Administrator. 

l\1embers of the industry, who coml?ly with the requirements of 

this Code and who agree in writing, either individually or through 

the federated group of which they are members, to abide by the 

requirements of this Code and to pay their reasonable share of the 

expense of initiation, approval, and administration thereof1 shall be 

entitled to the benefit of the activities of the Code Authonty thereunder and to make use of the National Recovery Administration 

Code Insignia. 

The Code Authority shall be charged with the collection of this

Dealers in Lumber, Lumber Products, Building Material, and Building Specialties, the pro rata cost of Administration shall be the same 

us for all other d€alers in Builders Supplies but shall be paid to the

VIII. AFFIDA vrTs OF Col\IPLIANCE 

Each dealer in builders supplies shall submit to the Code Authority or its authorized agent upon demand, but not more frequently

maintenance of all other rules as set forth within this Code. These 

affidavits shall be filed with the Code Authority and shall be available at all times to the inspection of the President. 

IX. UNIFORM CosT AccouN'l'ING 

(a) It is the judgment of the Builders Supply Industry that 

accurate know ledge of costs is indispensable to the proper administration of the provisions of this Code. Each dealer in builders' 

supplies subject to the jurisdiction of this Code may install such simplified uniform system of accounting as may be recommended by the 

Code authority (or its properly authorized agent) and approved 

by the Administrator. 

(b) No member of the industry shall sell any material below 

cost. Cost shall be interpreted as the actual cost of merchandise.] 

plus every element of expense involved in completing the sale and 

delivery of merchandise to the customer. 

In determining the cost involved in completing the sale and delivery of merchandise to the purchaser, commonly known as overhead, the statistical mode shall be applied. 

(c) All prices, terms, and conditions of sale as developed under 

the uniform cost accounting system or established by appropriate 

rule or regulation within any trade area shall be published by each 

dealer within each trade area and shall be filed with the Code Authority or its delegated a~ent. Any deviation from such published 

prices, terms, and conditiOns of sale until new prices, terms, and 

conditions of sale shall have been published and filed shall be 

construed as unfair competitive practice. 

(d) No employer shall sell builders' supplies as herein defined, 

below cost. For the purpose of this paragraph, cost is defined to 

include the actual cost of merchandise to the seller plus actual overhead. Overhead shall include actual disbursed expense involved in 

selling and delivering merchandise as determined by accounting 

methods approved by the Code Authority and the Administrator, in 

accordance with Article IX, Paragraph (a), of this Code, and shall 

be computed by the statistical mode method. If at any time the Code 

Authority desires to change this method of computing costs, application shall be made to the Administrator for a revision of the factors 

to be included in the determination of costs, or for a revision of the 

method by which such factors are determined or both, or if at any 

time the Administrator, upon his own initiative desires to change 

this method of computing costs he may make suci1 appropriate revisions thereof as he may deem necessary. 

X. RuLES oF F AIR PRAOTICE 

(a) No dealer in builders' supplies shall make or permit of any 

secret rebate, refund, credit, or unearned discount, in the form o£ 

money, or otherwise; nor shall he give premiums or extend to certain 
8 

purchasers any special service or privilege not extended to all 

purchasers under like terms and conditions. 

(b) Uniform contracts and maximum terms of sale shall be established by the Code Authority or its authorized agent after approval 

thereof by the Administrator for each trade area and any deviation 

from these contracts or any terms of sale in excess of such maximum 

terms shall constitute an unfair competitive practice. 

(c) The acceptance of any secret rebate, refund, or concession by 

any dealer which is not accorded to all similar dealers from any 

source of supply shall constitute an unfair competitive practice. 

(d) No dealer in builders' supplies shall defame a competitor by 

word or action which shall falsely impute to him dishonorable conduct or intent nor shall he falsely disparage the quality of his 

material. 

(e) No dealer in builders' supplie.s shall wilfully interfere with 

another dealer by any means or device whatsoever in any existing 

contract or order when such interference is for the purpose or has the 

effect of destroying or appropriating the patronage, property, or 

business of another dealer. 

(f) No dealer in builders' supplies shall offer or give commissions, 

prizes, premiums, gifts or excessive entertainment to anyone in connection with the sale, purchase or use of any product distributed by 

dealers in builders' supplies or as an inducement to such sale, purchase, or use. 

(g) Inducing a competitor's salesman or credit man to leave his 

employment for the purpose of injuring a competitor's business shall 

constitute an unfair competitive practice. 

(h) ·No dealer in builders' supplies shall mark or brand .Products 

of any industry for the purpose of, or with the effect of, misleading 

or deceiving purchasers with respect to quality, quantity, size, grade, 

or substance of the materials purchased.

cost, nor shall he permit of delivery concessiOn for the purpose 

directly or indirectly, or with the effect of furthering the sale of 

some other product. 

(j) No dealer in builders' supplies shall agree or guarantee to 

furnish sufficient quantities of building matenal for any building 

or construction operation at a lump-sum price. To quote such lumpsum bid shall constitute an unfair trade practice. 

XI. MoNOPOLIES 

It is not the purpose or intent of this Code, and no provision of 

this Code shall be so interpreted or administered, as to eliminate or 

oppress small enterprises or to discriminate against them or to promote a monopoly or monopolistic practices. 

XII. EFFEC!riVE DATE 

All provisions of this Code shall become effective and operative 

ten (10) days after the Code is approved by the President of the 

United States. 
9 

XIII. CHANGE IN THE ConE

(b) This Code and all the provisions thereof are expressly made 

subject to the right of the President, in accordance with the provision

regulation issued under Title I of said Act: and specifically to the 

right of the President to cancel or modify his approval of this Code 

or any conditions imposed by him upon his approval thereof. 

(c) Any decision, rule, regulation, order, or finding made or 

course of action followed pursuant to the provision of this Code 

may be cancelled or modified by the Administrator upon complaint 

of any interested party through the Code Autl ority or upon his own 

initiative whenever the Administrator shall determine such action 

necessary to effectuate the provisions of Title I of the National 

Recovery Act. 

Supplements, amendments, or additions of this Code may, from 

time to time, be submitted for the approval of the President of the 

United States. 

Respectfully submitted for the acceptance and approval by the
