Heading: Discounts Allowed to Others

Text: Carlock complains that American promised to give him the best discounts allowed to anybody and points out that 49% discounts were allowed American Warming & Ventilating Company, of Toledo, Ohio, in the course of seven sales to that concern. Carlock says 49% was never his normal discount and therefore he was discriminated against. Par. 7 of Exhibit 1 allowed Carlock the same prices extended to all other distributors, but the Toledo firm was not a distributor. It was an independent manufacturer. Carlock was not discriminated against on prices. As a matter of practice he was the only distributor who held the favored position of having been allowed an additional 5% discount on occasion. The court's finding against price discrimination is not clearly erroneous.
