Among other representations to be discontinued by the respond¬ ent are that his “Magic Shaving Powder” does not affect the growth of hair or injure the skin, that “Ro-Zol Face Bleach” is an effective remedy for skin diseases, and that some of his oint¬ ments and creams, sold under various trade names, rid the skin of blemishes and pimples, while others lighten dark skin “almost over night” and permit the desired shade to be retained, without injurious effects. FTC DISMISSES CASES The Federal Trade Commission has announced that it has dismissed and set aside the following cases: No. 2450. The Commission has issued an order closing its case against Distillers Importing Corporation, 485 Madison Ave., New York City, charged in a Commission complaint with unfair competition through use of the word “Distillers” in its corporate name when the company was not engaged in distilling liquor but was an importer and wholesaler. The Commission based its closing order on the fact that the respondent company has surrendered its permits, is undergoing dissolution, has not further engaged in interstate commerce in the importation or sale of alcoholic beverages, and on the fact that it appears unlikely the respondent will resume such importation or sale. The case was closed without prejudice to the Commission’s right to reopen it and resume prosecution of the complaint under its regular procedure, should the facts warrant such action. Nos. 1773-2071. The Commission has vacated and set aside orders to cease and desist issued in April, 1934, against two Phila¬ delphia candy companies, Quaker City Chocolate & Confec¬ tionery Co., 2134 Germantown Ave., and Sol Block and Sidney Blumenthal, trading as Rittenhouse Candy Co., Worth and Herbert Sts. The Commission has issued against these respondents amended and supplemental complaints alleging practices similar to those alleged in the original complaints, involving the use of an alleged lottery scheme in the sale of package candies, and has ordered the cases reopened for taking of further testimony.
