CONDITIONAL SALES
Sir,—I am under the impression that it is illegal for a seller to demand, as a condition of a sale, that the buyer purchase other goods. Am I correct? If so, have I any redress in the case of a coal merchant who refused to sell me four bags of fast coal unless I agreed to buy. at the same time, two bags of medium coal?—Yours, etc., 2 TO 1. August 15. 1956. [“The Control of Prices Act does contain a restriction of the kind indicated by your correspondent,” said the district officer of the Price Control Division, Department of Industries and Commerce (Mr H. F. Larsen), when this letter was referred to him. “As to the second question, I would suggest he call at this office when the matter could be more fully explained.”]
