Are you sure? I remember working in the housewares department of a "discount' store in the early 70's.
Rubbermaid (a plastics manufacturer) and Corning were both 'fair trade' items
We were not allowed, by law to charge anything other than what they decided for any item from their line. This was nationwide.
No matter which store you went into, the price was the same.
Thats no longer true, of course.
