SET ASIDE ORDER IN REGARD TO ALLEGED VIOLATION OF THE FEDRRAL TRADE COMMISSION ACT Docket 6835. Consent Order, March 6, 1958-Set Aside Order, Jan. 30 985 1n its Order Reopening and Settinl- Aside Order Issued March 958, the Commission notes that the public interest warrants granting the request fied by lnterco Incorporated (formerly International Shoe Company) to set aside the 1958 consent order which barred the company from engaging in exclusive-dealing arrangements with shoe dealers, and providing loans and special services to those dealers who agreed to handle the firm s products exclusively. The Commission found that the same considerations that prompt.ed it.s July 16, 19H4 determination to set aside the 1966 Order issued against the Brown Shoe Company, Inc., 104 F. C. 266, which also involved a perpetual exclusive dealing order, are applicable in present action. Accordingly, this Order reopens the matter and sets aside the consent order issued against International Shoe Company on March 6, 1958 (54 F.T.C. 1120). ORDER REOPENING AND SETTING ASIDE ORDER ISSUED MARCH 6, 1958 On October 9, 1984, respondent Interco Incorporated (formerly International Shoe Company and hereafter "Interco ) filed a Request To Reopen And Set Aside Order" ("Request"), pursuant to Section 5(b) ofthe Federal Trade Commission Act, 15 D. C. 45(b) and Section 2. ofthe Commission s Rules of Practice. The Request asked the Commission to reopen the consent order issued on March 6, 1958 ("the order ) and set it aside. Interco s request was on the public record for thirty days and no comments were received.

After reviewing respondent's Request, the Commission has concluded that the public interest warrants reopening and setting aside the order as requested by respondent. The action we take today is consistent with our recent determination in Brown Shoe Company, Inc. Docket No. 7606, July 16, 1984 (104 F. C. 266J, which also involves a perpetual exclusive dealing order in the shoe industry. The same considerations which prompted our action in Brown Shoe are applicable to the present request.

Accordingly, it is ordered that this matter be, and it hereby is, reopened, and that the Commission s order issued on March 6, 1958 shall be of no further force and effect as of the effective date ofthis order.
