Mr. Wylie:

Mr. Wylie:

We talk about price maintenance. It has been mentioned in the speech from the throne. Price maintenance is something we have had for years. Price maintenance may stay with us. I am going to say this, however. If the manufacturers are forced into selling their goods for whatever they can get for them, may the Lord pity the small retailer.
