New York's wholesale drug deal
ers are making a resolute push to form
q drug trust that will prevent retail
druggists from dealing directly with
the manufacturers Of proprietary med
icines. They will have a national
wholesale druggists meeting in Sep
tember at Denver, at which trust
will probably be formed. Many retail
druggists have an association by which
they have been able to deal directly
with the manufacturers and escape
paving anything to the middlemen.
They have thus managed to get their
drugs at bottom prices, and have sold
to customers at lower rates. The
wholesale dealers mean to stop that.
They expect to be able to make the
manufacturers agree to a system OF
rebates to local associations Of jobbers.
Under such plan, the jobbers would
allow rebates only to retail customers
who did not cut prices. The rebates
would be large enough to make it an
object for retailer not TO be caught
selling under the schedule rates.
