Complaint Pursuant to the provisions of the Federal Trade Commission Act, and by virtue of the authority vested in it by said Act, the Federal Trade Commission, having reason to believe that Revco, D.S., Inc., a corporation, and Standard Drug Company, a corporation, doing business as Revco Discount Drug Centers, Bernard Shulman, individually and as an officer of each of said corporations, W.

Complaint 67 FLD.C, (e) Refusing to sell to dealers or distributors because of the price at which they are known to be, or suspected of, buying respondent’s products from any other person. Provided, however, That nothing contained in this Order shall be construed to prohibit respondent from petitioning the Commission to reopen and alter, modify, or set aside, in whole or in part, any provision of this Order on the ground that conditions of fact have so changed as to require such action in the public interest. It is further ordered, That respondent, formerly Sandura Company but recently renamed Del Penn Company, a corporation, shall, within sixty (60) days after service upon it of this Order, file with the Commission a report in writing, setting forth in detail the manner and form in which it has complied with this Order. Commissioner MacIntyre not concurring.
