No. 363. Pricing of replacement glass for automobiles. The Commission issued an advisory opinion with respect to the pricing system of a dealer in replacement glass for automobiles. The dealer would grant discounts from the list price of automobile window glass to all customers. If an individual purchases a window, he would receive a discount of 20 percent from list price. If an insurance company sends the individual in , the discount would be 30 percent. (In this case, the bi1 would be sent to the insurance company and the individua1.) If an automobile garage purchases the glass, the discount would be 50 percent. All sales are made within one State.

The Commission expressed the view that implementation of the proposal in the manner described and under the circumstances ADVISORY OPINION DIGESTS 1103 stated probably would not violate any law administered by the Commission. (File No. 6937141 Released August 14, 1969)
