GROUP II

§$ 110.101 Saturday and Sunday clos-
ings. In the interest of the public and
of itself, the industry urges all mem-
bers of the industry to adhere to the
practice of not opening their sales of-
fices on Saturdays and Sundays for the
transaction of business.

§ 110.102 Repudiation of contracts.
Lawful contracts are business obliga-
tions which should be performed in let-
ter and in spirit. The repudiation of
contracts by sellers on a rising market
or by buyers on a declining market is
condemned by the industry.

$ 110.103 Information as to width,
count and weight to appear on invoices
and confirmations of orders. When
goods are sold by specifications or con-
struction, in order that accurate infor-
mation regarding the type of goods sold
or offered for sale may be known to pur-
chasers, the industry approves the prac-
tice of placing on the confirmation of
order and on the invoice the gray con-
struction, i. e., gray width, count and
weight, in the case where the goods sold
are to be delivered in the gray; and in
the case where the goods sold are to be
delivered in the finished state, the in-
dustry approves the practice of placing
on the confirmation of order and invoice
the finished construction, i. e., the width,
count and weight in such finished state.
The omission from the confirmation of
order or invoice of any such information
required by this section is condemned by
the industry.

$110.104 Use of samples, The indus-
try disapproves the giving of samples
without charge except only as may be
necessary to acquaint purchasers or
prospective purchasers with the grade
or quality of the product offered for sale.
However, the furnishing of samples shall
not be carried out in a manner involving
discrimination contrary to the provi-
sions of § 110.12. .
