Lawlor Et Al., Trading as Independent Poster Exchange, v. National Screen Service Corp.

We agree with the Court of Appeals that the motion for summary judgment should have been denied. However, in our view, this disposition of the case made it unnecessary for the Court of Appeals to pass on any other issue than that of the per se invalidity of exclusive contracts under the Sherman Act.
