Corn Products Refining Co. v. Federal Trade Commission
Supreme Court of the United States
Decided April 23, 1945No. 680PublishedCited by 234 opinions
1Opinion of the CourtChief Justice Stone
Petitioners, a parent corporation and its sales subsidiary, use a basing point system of pricing in their sales of glucose. They sell only at delivered prices, computed by adding to a base price at Chicago the published freight tariff from Chicago to the several points of delivery, even though deliveries are in fact made from their factory at Kansas City as well as from their Chicago factory. Consequently there is included in the delivered price on shipments from Kansas Cty an amount of "freight” which usually does not correspond to freight actually paid by petitioners.
