MARYLAND PERMITS SELLING
GASOLINE UNDER FAIR TRADE
LAW

On June /, 1945, House Bill Ill,
carrying the Amendment recently
signed by Governor O'Conor, will be-
come effective, allowing gasoline to
be sold in Maryland under the Fair
Trade Law.
Harry r. Wainwright, Executive
Director of Retail Gasoline Dealers,
Inc, who has been leading the move
memt since it's beginning, believes
that this Amendment is a step for
ward for the gasoline dealer and of
real benefit for the motorist. II be-
lieve it will tend to create a steady
md staple market, which in turn,
should bring about a steady flow of
gasoline, thereby reducing costs, as
well as the ultimate price to the con-
sumer," says Mr.. Wainwright.
While Mr.. Wainwright realizes
that during the war gasoline ration
ing eliminates many practices COM
mon before Pearl Harbor, he is look
ing ahead to the postwar years. The
fact that both Houses at Annapolis
passed this Amendment by unani-
nous vote is significant of the merit
of this legislation and of tie work
Mr.. Wainwright and the Organiza-
ton have been doing.
This Amendment allows gasoline
to be sold under the Fair Trade Law
along with other branded merchan-
disc stated Mr.. Wainwright. "a
steady, staple market for any product
attracts the type of businessmen who
fulfill their obligation to the public.
In addition, it helps stop sharp prac-
Gices that occur in distress market
conditions, such as substitution of
product, dilution with inferior grade
products and the evil short measure.
The Association feels that this
Amendment will help members OPP
crate on sounder business princi-
pies"
To sum it up, according to Mr..
Wainwright, this Amendment will
practically guarantee to the public
the product as it is manufactured and
advertised by the owner of the brand
name, and consequently, the motor
car owner will receive full quality
and full measure. at the lowest rea-
sonable retail price"
