Opinion Letter
August 12, 1970:
Dear Mr. McCann:
This is in further response to your letters of April 28 and May 5, 1970, relative to an advisory opinion with respect to the distribution of a weekly magazine through retail outlets in the New York metropolitan area. The Commission has given careful consideration of this matter and is of the view that implementation of the proposed course of action in the manner described would be in violation of the statutes administered by it for the reason that the plan is not considered functionally available to all classes of customers competing in the distribution of
the advertisers’ goods.
By direction of the Commission.
Supplemental Letter of Request
