ACKNOWLEDGMENTS Direct price control legislation has a history dating back to the late 1860's. This factual presentation of price-control measures comprising the compilation of State statutes and digest of pertinent court decisions represent, as did volume 1, the work of the MARKETING LAWS SURVEY staff of attorneys and research assistants employed in the headquarters of the Survey in Washington, D. C., and in the three regional offices in New York City, Chicago, and Los Angeles. These staffs followed a carefully developed outline of compilation prepared by the Survey. Materials collected in the regional offices were sent to Washington for final selection, review, and analysis, and there assembled and edited for publication. The preparation, organization, and final review and analysis of this growing and complex body of legislation and its interpretation by the courts was under the general technical and legal direction of IRWIN W. SILVERMAN, Chief Attorney; L. THOMPSOn Bennett, JR., Chief Administrative Attorney and IRVIN LECHLITER, Assistant Chief Administrative Attorney. Special acknowledgment is made by the MARKETING LAWS SURVEY to the many law libraries in each region, including those of Federal and State courts, of the law schools of many universities and colleges, of legal publishing firms and other private libraries-all of which generously placed their invaluable special facilities at the service. of the Survey. This splendid cooperation saved months of labor in selecting and compiling the statutes and court decisions. A final acknowledgment must be made to the entire staff of the Survey, each of whom had a share in gathering and organizing this volume for publication. A. H.
