Plan enforcement committee formed by manufacturers wholesalers retailers
A nine member committee governs enforcement with three appointees from each group. The three associations act as a united body. Retail druggists seek to limit manufacturer distribution to wholesalers jointly recognized by all three associations. About 100 leading manufacturers have complied.
Blacklist Tactics Warned by Drug Trade Associations
A historical report details three lists in drug trade regulation: patent medicine proprietors agreeing to sell only to designated wholesalers, a nationally prepared list of distributors restricted to those dealers, and a cartel style blacklist by the National Association of Retail Druggists. The piece accuses the Atlanta Drug Association of pressuring manufacturers to sign, aiming to ruin independent dealers and control access to goods.
