Publisher's Synopsis
Excerpt from The Economics of Open Price Systems
In concluding this study the authors are indebted to many persons, chiefly for the opportunity of discussing with them various aspects of the subject. Among those to whom specific recognition is due are the members of the Trade Practice Policy Committee of the nra, which included at the time this subject was under discussion James E. Hughes, Milton Katz, Edwin B. George, A. Howard Myers, and W. H. S. Stevens. Corwin D. Ed wards, formerly of the Consumers' Advisory Board of the nra and later head of the Trade Practice Studies Section of the Review Division Of the nra, and Simon N. Whitney, of the Research and Planning Division and later of the Review Division of the nra, have both been helpful in many discussions, the former lending specific aid in reviewing that part of Chapter IV which deals with the Work of the Consumers' Advisory Board in attempt ing to analyze the effects of open price plans. Charles J. Brand, executive secretary and treasurer of the National Fertilizer Association, has read the entire manuscript; and out of his unusual experience with open price plans, as a code administrative officer and trade association exec utive, has offered many pertinent and helpful comments. Blackwell Smith, formerly assistant chief counsel, as sistant administrator for policy of the nra, and a mem ber of the National Industrial recovery'board, and now of the legal firm of Cotton, Franklin, Wright and Gor don, has also read the entire manuscript and has been helpful with comments, particularly in passing upon the accuracy and balance of Chapter III. Thanks are due also to Helen May Wheeler, formerly of the Brookings staff, toernest G. Draper, assistant secretary of Commerce, and, to Hammond E. Chafietz, special assistant to the attorney general of the United States. About the Publisher Forgotten Books publishes hundreds of thousands of rare and classic books.
