Mr. C- F. R. Cleaver, for the North Midlands Price Regulation Committee, said that a Mrs. Gunn, of Findernstreet, Derby, saw an advertisement relating to a sale carpets, rugs and linoleum at the sale room at the White Horse Hotel.
OBJECTED TO PRICE
She went there and was asked £4 for a piece linoleum three yards by twoand-a-half yards. She objected to the price, but she paid it after an assistant had told her that it was the that it was the controlled price. Later, Mr. Cleaver went on, Mrs. Gunn saw a similar piece of linoleum in a shop, priced at 355., and that, in fact, was the the maximum permitted price. Mrs. Deadman, when interviewed, said that she ran a small business in carpets and rugs, but this was the first occasion on which she had sold linoleum. She bought some pieces from a hawker, but found that she did not need them and put them in the sale. A later advertisement, however, also referred to linoleum, Mr. Cleaver added.
100 DIFFERENT KINDS
Mr. A. R. Flint, defending, said that Mrs. Deadman bought two pieces of linoleum for £4 each, and she thought she could sell them at the same price. The schedule of controlled prices for linoleum referred to more than100 different kinds, and nobody who was not in the trade could possibly understand it. Mr A. H. Domleo, the chairman said that the Bench considered that Mrs. Deadman did trade in linoleum, and she should have known the correct prices.
