icy Of Direct Sales

Aberdeen, 8. D., Sept. l6.-H)-Op-
position to the sales policy recently
adopted by several leading clay manu-
facturers OF North and South Dakota
wa voiced here today by s. H. Collins,
executive secretary Of the North and
South Dakota branch of the Associ-
ated General Contractors Of America.
A resolution, adopted at q recent
meeting OF contractors here, stated
that several OF the leading manu-
facturers Of clay products. notably
face brick, common brick and hollow
tile. have entered into an agreement
among themselves, the purpose OF
which is to discontinue the direct
sale of these products from the man.
ufacturer to building contractors, and
have inaugurated q new sales policy
under which all sales will be made to
contractors through dealers who will
receive a refund or undetermined
commission"
The contractors contend In their
resolution that they were not con-
suited before the proposed change and
said that 1t has been proved by con-
crete instances that this new sales
policy has tended to increase the cost
Of such products delivered to the
building site and has in other ways
proved detrimental to the best in
terests of the public and the general
contractors"
Unless such manufacturers revert
to their former policy, the resolution
recommends to the membership that
they purchase all such clay prod
ucts, In so far practicable, from such
manufacturers as have retained the
direct to general contractor sales pol
ICY" and that due publicity be given
OF action of manufacturers relative to
increased cost to the public.
The contractors also are ready te
ask immediate action Of the national
trades commission. tho secretary said.
Eighty per cent Of the clay products
used In North and South Dakota Is
purchased by the contractors and be-
cause OF that fact. they are entitled
to buy direct as they have in past
years, nc added. in contrasting con-
ditions in the Dakotas with those
elsewhere.
Since the Inauguration Of this pol
icy. VIC have found that lumber yards
have charged a commission OF from
$24 to $37 a thousand and they do
not stock the brick or tile In their
yards nor do they have any handling
cost when selling to the contractor"
he said. in placing the blame for
high construction costs on manufac-
turcrS.

Stressing the important role NUM-

and maintaining high quality in food
products and emphasizing the impor-
tance of selecting a central location for
such a food distributing agency, the
Conduit Road Citizens Association at
a meeting held last night at the
Potomac Heights Community Church
adopted a resolution calling upon Con-
greSs to appropriate funds for the re-
construction of Center Market on a
site tentatively approved in Southwest
Washington. The associated resolved

the present buildings are removed"
The suggested new location for a
substitute market is a section east OF
Fourteenth street southwest, opposite
the Bureau of Engraving and Printing,
said to be admirably suited for the pur-
pose because of its proximity to the
downtown area and to the present site
of Center Market. 1t is said to be
slightly more than half mile from the
Governments market p,Oce at Seventh
street and Pennsylvania avenue.
The introduction of the resolution in
dorSing the site and urging appropria-
ton of funds necessary to build a
market met with little opposition among
the members of the citizens group at
last nights meeting. A number of
theories for substitute market were
propounded, including advocacy of a

Either the teaching or the curri-
