relief cannot be had in all cases by use of the device. The respon¬ dents agree to stop advertising that “Aura Primset” is endorsed by physicians as the best method for correcting misshapen or protrud¬ ing ears; that the device will give permanent relief; that normal setting of protruding ears is brought about immediately through use of this device and without resort to surgery; that the apparatus trains the muscles of the ear to stay back normally, thus effecting a permanent relief from deformity in the oldest cases, and other representations. No. 2526. Mid West Mills, Inc., 1726-28 Arcade Place, Chi¬ cago, jobber of upholstering fabrics and other furniture material, has been ordered to cease and desist representing by use of its corporate name, in advertising literature or in any other manner, that it is a manufacturer, mill operator, or mill owner. Findings are that the respondent used the phrase “Jobbers and Converters” along with its corporate name, and the word “Mills” in its corporate name. The company, according to the findings, is not a manufacturer of the merchandise in which it deals. No. 2772. General Handkerchief Mfg. Co., Inc., 919 W. Roosevelt Rd., Chicago, has been ordered to discontinue repre¬ senting through its corporate name, letterheads, circulars, adver¬ tising literature, or in any other manner, that it manufactures the handkerchiefs it sells in interstate commerce. The Commission found that the respondent company used the letters “Mfg.” and the words “manufacturers,” “manufactured” and “factory” in such manner as to cause customers or prospec¬ tive customers to believe it owned or operated a factory, when such was not the case. FTC ORDERS VACATED No. 1790. An order entered in April, 1934, against Pasquale Margarella, 477 Broome St., New York City, directing him to cease and desist from unfair competition in the sale of candy, has been vacated and set aside by the Federal Trade Commission. At the same time, the Commission issued an amended and supple¬ mental complaint against Margarella, alleging that he sells to wholesalers and jobbers assortments of candy so packed as to involve the use of a lottery scheme when sold to consumers. The unfair practices charged in the amended and supplemental com¬ plaint are similar to those involved in the original complaint. No. 2784. The Commission has also dismissed charges of unfair competition in the sale of salt products made in a complaint issued April 24, 1936, against General Laboratories, Inc., ot Philadelphia. Dismissal was ordered because of dissolution of the company. The complaint charged the Pennsylvania Salt Manufacturing Company and its subsidiary, General Laboratories, Inc., with un¬ fair competition in the use of the term “smoked salt” in adver¬ tising their products and process. The dismissal order applies only to General Laboratories, Inc. FEDERAL COMMUNICATIONS COMMISSION ACTION HEARING CALENDAR Monday, June 1 HEARING BEFORE AN EXAMINER (Broadcast) NEW — Nathan N.
