But the law does not prevent a manufacturer from signing up dealers who function as his agents and specifying they agree to resell at the manufacturer's price, This is being done in the case of some articles, usually luxury articles, all over the land. Such control over retufiers sign- ed up as special agents, of course, can only be obtained by very large corporations who tend to dominate any particular fleld or part of it. And it usually is only possible in the case of fairly costly articles. The drive in Congress has been to make it possible for manufac- turers of all branded articles to dictate the retail price, so that re- tailers would by law not be allow- as judge of probate, and for a g00d and sufficlent reason. Not only was he unbeatable at the polls but the general public had a well estab- lished belief that the important position of judge of probate should not be changed whenever there happened to be an election. As soon as the judge showed he was an ideal probate judge the Republi- cans very generously agreed that it would be folly to advertise their poor sense by suggesting anyone else for the position.

It is entirely unlikely that the important element of mass distribution wpuld be facil- itated. Such universal price-fixing would tend to eliminate competi- tion among the retail trade, and if generally practiced on all articles would mean that retail stores would be selling virtually all their articles at the same price—which would be the highest possible price—and bar- gain hunting would be nearly gone along with the saloon and the horse and buggy. What would most likely however, is this: Department stores | and chain stores would be given a vast stimulus to handle their own brands to the exclusion of the price-fixed brands, and in the na- ture of things they would be able to greatly undersell the price-fixed | articles.
