DISCRIMINATORY PRICES.
The company's own records show
that this was one purpose at least N
making this distribution of its BRANDS,
and it appears to have had some prac-
teal effect in hsndicapping compeIi-
ton.
Special discriminaJory prices and
terms" Mr. Conant continues, have
been reported in a number Of instances,
but the general policy OF the company
is 10 maintain high prices in the mono
polized lines; in the principal new
lines, however, where considerable
competition IS encountered unusually
low prices and long terms have been
generally employed.
Another rather general complaint
IS thar statesmen Of the international
Harvester company represent that
purchasers Of competing lines Of haT-
vesting machines will be unable 10 Sc
cure repair parts. a matter of much
practical importance. Officers of the
International Harvester company admit
that this was al one time common
characteristic of competition in the

The company al one time openly

of this clause, suggested retail price
lists have been rather generally cir
