Text: 136 The Commission found that the representation that materials supplied with the course are worth $30 was false. Admittedly, they were not worth such amount. Replacements were sold for $1.00. In a brochure entitled 'Sales Ideas on Nu-Weaving' copyrighted by the petitioner in 1952, is found the following: 137 'Sales Pitch in Nu-Weaving' 138 In following leads, the salesman is instructed with relation to the price: 139 'To impress them with the value of a set of needles, say, 'One can't put a price on these because we never sell them. We won't sell them to anyone. They go only with our course. But one firm, as you see here, sells a set of similar needles for $27.50. 140 This was palpably false. The needles referred to were of a different character and were hand-made. And the Commission was justified in assuming that the representation was not limited to the period when, as claimed, needles were scarce and in preventing recurrence by prohibiting the representation that the needles were worth more than the petitioner ordinarily charged for them. 141
