execution thereof, no additional item-
ization need be furnished to the pur-

ment saie of motor vehicles, it is an
unfair trade practice for any financing
institution to aid or abet a seller in ef-
fecting concealment or nondisclosure

$197.4 False, misleading, or deceptive use
of rate charts in connection with the
installment sale and financing of
motor vehicles.
It is an unfair trade practice for any
seller or financing institution, either
individually or in agreement, combina-

other, through the misuse of a rate or
rate charts, or any other device or in
any other manner, to make a false,
misleading, or deceptive representa-
tion to the purchaser of a motor vehi-

the amount of the unpaid baiance of
the contract.
§197.5 Requiring the placing of insurance

seller or financing institution, either
individually or in agreement or collu-
sion with each other, to condition the
installment saie or financing of a
motor vehicle on the purchase of an
insurance policy from a particular in-
surance company when equlvaient or
better coverage by another insurance
company is avallable and the purchas-
er desires to purchase the policy of
such other company, where the effect
of such conditioning may be to sub-
stantially lessen, stifle, or suppress
competition. This section shall not
prevent the exercise by the financing
institution of the right to approve or
disapprove for good cause the insur-
ance company selected to underwrite

or publish, or cause to be made or pub-
lished, directly or indirectly, any false,
misleading, or deceptive statement or
representation, by way of advertise-
ment or otherwise, with respect to the
grade, quality, freedom from defects

of upholstery and drapery fabrics in
any manner which is false, misleading,
or deceptive in respect to the grade,
quality, freedom from defects or im-
perfections, quantity, use, size, materi-
al content, thread count, origin,
shrinkage, properties, proof against or
resistance to wrinkling, creasing or
crushing, colorfastness, washability,
resistance to or immunity from moth,
fire or flame damage, production,

§ 205.4
§ 205.3 False invoicing.
Withholding from or inserting in in-
voices any statement or information
by reason of which omission or inser-
tion a false record is made, wholly or
in part, of the transactions represent-
ed on the face of such invoices, with
the capacity and tendency or effect of
thereby misleading or deceiving pur-
chasers, prospective purchasers, or the
consuming public, is an unfair trade
practice.
§ 205.4 Deception as to origin.
With respect to any upholstery and
drapery fabrics of the following types:
Fabrics which have been woven or fab-
ricated in a foreign country and im-
ported in the grey or other unfinished
state and dyed or finished in the
United States; and fabrics which have
been imported in the finished state
and dyed, redyed, or refinished in the
United States; it is an unfair trade
practice:
(a) To offer for sale, sell, or distrib-
ute any such fabrics under marks,
stamps, brands, labels, or representa-
tions which have the capacity and ten-
dency or effect of misleading or de-
ceiving purchasers, prospective pur-
chasers, or the consuming public into
the belief (1) that such fabrics were
woven or fabricated in the United
States, when such is not the fact; or
(2) that they were dyed, finished,
redyed, or refinished elsewhere than
in the United States, when such is not
true; or
(b) To offer for sale, sell, or distrib-
ute any such fabrics without the same
being marked, stamped, branded, or la-
beled so as to indicate clearly and non-
deceptively (1) the country of origin of
the fabrics, and (2) that such fabrics
were woven or fabricated in sald coun-
try and were dyed or finished or
redyed or refinished in the United
States, as the case may be, where the
failure, refusal, or omission to so
mark, stamp, brand, or label such fab-
rics has the capacity and tendency or
effect of thereby promoting, abetting,
or effectuating the marketing of such
products under conditions which are
misleading or deceptive to purchasers,
prospective purchasers, or the consum-
ing public.
§ 205.5
Nore: Nothing in this section shall be con-
strued as relieving any member of the in-
dustry or other party of the necessity of
complying with requirements of the cus-
toms laws or regulations, or other applicable
provisions of law or regulatlons, relating to
the marking of imported articles.
§ 205.5 Identification and disclosure of

identified as to their fiber content in
accordance with the requirements of
the trade practice rules heretefore
promulgated by the Commission for
the rayon and acetate textile industry,
the silk industry, and the linen indus-
try, ! except that, due to the provisions
of section 14 of the Wool Products La-
beling Act of 1939, labeling identifica-
tion of any wool, reprocessed wool, or
reused wool? contained in any such
fabrics is not to be considered as re-
quired. In the case of upholstery and
drapery fabrics which contain a kind
of fiber or fibers required to be identi-
fied by labei under sald trade practice
rules, and which also contain fibers of
wool, reprocessed wool, or reused
wool,? the label identification of the
fiber content thereof shall be made in
a manner which does not have the ca-
pacity and tendency or effect of de-
ceiving purchasers or prospective pur-
chasers as to the proportion of the
identified fiber or fibers contained in
1A copy of the above-mentioned trade
practice rules may be obtained by any in-
dustry member making request therefor to
the Commission.

and 40 percent wool ? fibers are as fol-
iows:
“CONTAINS Rayon”
or
“60% Rayon”

fabric containing wool, reprocessed wool, or
reused woo] ? ls sold, offered for sale, or dis-
tributed by an industry member with know]-
edge of facts indicating its probable use in a
product or products other than upholsteries
or draperies, such fabric shall be labeled as
to its fiber content in accordance with the
requirements of the Wool Products Labeling
Act of 1939.

ceptive disclosure of the fact that any
upholstery or drapery fabric offered
for sale or sold or distributed is com-
posed of used fiber or material, in
whole or in part, wherc such failure or
refusal to disclose has the capacity
and tendency or effect of misleading
or deceiving purchasers or prospective
purchasers.

sulting fiber when wool or reprocessed wooi
has been spun, woven, knitted, or felted into

§ 205.7 Substitution of products.
The practice of shipping or deliver-
ing products which do not conform to
samples submitted, to specifications
upon which the sale is consummated,
or to representations made prior to se-
curing the order, without the consent
of the purchasers to such substitu-
tions and with the capacity and ten-
dency or effect of misleading or de-
ceiving purchasers, prospective pur-
chasers, or the consuming public, is an
unfair trade practice.

stance having the capacity and ten-
‘dency or effect of substantially injur-
ing or lessening present or potential
competition, is an unfair trade prac-
tice. Nothing in this section is intend-
ed to imply that it is improper for any
industry member to solicit the busi-
ness of a customer of a competing in-
dustry member; nor is the rule to be
construed as in anywise authorizing

employees, or representatives of com-
petitors’ customers or prospective cus-
tomers, without the knowledge of
their employers or principals, as an in-
ducement to influence their employers
or principals to purchase or contract
to purchase products manufactured or
sold by such industry member or the
maker of such gift or offer, or to influ-
ence such employers or principals to
refrain from dealing in the products of

The practice of imitating, or causing
to be imitated, or directly or indirectly
promoting or aiding the imitation of,
the trade-marks, trade names, other
exclusively owned symbols or marks of
identification of competitors, or the
exclusively owned designs or patterns
of competitors which have not been di-
rectly, or by operation of law, dedi-
cated to the public, where such imita-
tion has the capacity and tendency or
effect of misleading or deceiving pur-
chasers, prospective purchasers, or the
consuming public, is an unfair trade
practice.

false disparagement of their products.
The defamation of competitors by
falsely imputing to them dishonorable
conduct, inability to perform con-
tracts, questionable credit standing, or

ods, selling prices, values, credit terms,
policies, services, or conditions of em-
ployment, is an unfair trade practice.

misleading price quotations, price lists,
terms or conditions of sale, or reports

spective purchasers, or the consuming
public, is an unfair trade practice.

The offering or giving of prizes, pre-
miums, or gifts in connection with the
sale of industry products, or as an in-
ducement thereto, by any method
which involves lottery or scheme of

§ 205.14 Misrepresentation as to character
of husiness.
It is an unfair trade practice for any
member of the industry to represent,
directly or indirectly, through use of
§ 205.15
the word “mill” or “mills,” or the word
“manufacturer,” or any other word,
term, or representation of similar
import or meaning, in his corporate or
trade name, or otherwise, that he is a
manufacturer of uphoistery and drap-
ery fabrics, or that he is the owner or
operatior of a mill, factory, or produc-
ing company manufacturing uphol-
stery and drapery fabrics, when such
is not the fact, or in any other manner
to misrepresent the character, extent,
or type of his business.

freight or other transportation cost or
any percentage thereof, or other form
of price differential, where such dis-
count, rebate, refund, credit, freight or
other transportation cost or any per-
centage thereof, or other form of price
differential, effects a discrimination in
price between differcnt purchasers of
goods of like grade and quality, where
either or any of the purchases in-
volved therein are in commerce, and
wherc the effect thereof may be sub-
stantially to lessen competition or
tend to create a monopoly in any line
of commerce, or to injure, destroy, or
prevent competition with any person
who either grants or knowingly re-
ceives the benefit of such discrimina-
tion, or with customers of either of
them: Provided, however:
%As used throughout § 205.15, the word
“commerce” means “trade or commerce

§ 205.102
Nore: In complaint proceedings charging
discrimination in price or services or facili-
ties furnished, and upon proof having been
made of such discrimination, the burden of
rebutting the prima facie case thus made by
showing justification shall be upon the
Porson charged; and unless justification
shall be affirmatively shown, the Commis-
sion is authorized to issue an order termi-
nating the discrimination: Provided, howev-
er, That nothing contained in this section
shall prevent a seller rebutting the prima
facie case thus made by showing that his

$ 205.101 Repudiation of contracts.
Lawful contracts are business obliga-
tions which should be performed in
letter 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.
$ 205.102 Use of written sales contracts.
(a) In order to avoid ambiguity and
misunderstanding between buyers and
sellers, ail purchases and sales of prod-
ucts of the industry exceeding one
piece, regardless of the total value
thereof, should be made by written
contract, signed by the buyer and
seller. Such written contract should
set forth the actual terms and condl-
tions of the sale involved.
(b) Wherever practicable, the deliv-
ery of all merchandise of any quantity
should be made against a written re-
ceipt signed by the purchaser, or a
qualified agent or employee of the
purchaser.

to the requirements of §8§205.1 to
205.16 of this part and applicable pro-
visions of iaw.
§ 205.103 Use of samples.
(a) The industry disapproves the
giving of samples without charge in
greater quantity than is actually nec-
essary to acquaint purchasers or pro-
spective purchasers with the grade or
quality of the product offered for sale.
However, the furnishing of any sam-
ples shall not be carried out in a
manner involving discrimination pro-
hibited by the provisions of § 205.15 of
this part.
(b) The industry interpretation of
“actually necessary” quantities as
above is: “A reference sample of each
item not exceeding one 27” x 27”
square or one full repeat of pattern,
with one color line not to exceed 6” x
9”.”"
§ 205.104 Arbitration of disputes.
