dealer policy."
Paragraph 5 to read as follows: "We recommend
that all sets that are advertised in newspapers or any
EXCLUML

set is one for which accessories are made by the
same manufacturer, in which event the set shall be

marketed with those accessories. When advertising
'complete sets,' all accessories necessary to make the
outfit absolutely complete, should be listed with
manufacturer's name and model."

accessories and parts, with a bonus to the seller on
broken packages to compensate him for increased
handling costs."
Change Paragraph 8 to read as follows: "We
earnestly recommend to all manufacturers that if
