Antitrust Druggists Headed to St Louis Meeting
Julius D. Pearson left Thursday night for St Louis to attend a national conference of anti-trust druggists. The agenda includes forming an anti-trust purchasing agency or negotiating a minimum price pact with the National association of retail druggists the Nards. If agreed the pact would enforce fixed minimums with room to set higher prices, and likely compel all druggists to comply. Pearson backs the anti-trust agency, citing Texas strict anti-trust laws and wholesalers being forced to sell to the agency or lose trade under Nards pressure.
