Chiskin v. American Drug Ca.
The case of Chiskin v. the Amer-jean Drug Ca. was began in the U. S. Court for China, before his Honour Judge Lobingier, on Monday morning. Mr. George Chiskin sued for $5,675 for expenses incurred and loss sustained from alleged failure of the American Drug Ca. to give the discount guaranteed to holders of the "Pro Bone Publico" books published by plaintiff. Mr. J. Em. Lemiére appeared for the plaintiff and Mr. W. S. Fleming for the defence.
Mr. Chiskin said that these books were prepared on a mutual benefit plan, 45 merchants of the town agreeing to give holders of the books, which retailed at $3. apiece, certain' discounts, ranging from 2 to 20 per cent. This plan had been tried in Greece and "was very successful. Five thousand copies of the book were printed and about 150 were sold, of which 40 were returned and payment refunded, the witness said, because buyers were unable to secure the promised re duction from the American Drug Ca., and the sale of the books had to be discontinued.
