Table 11.--Delivered prices of representative sizes of U.S. and West European sheet glass to direct-factory buyers 1/ in New York City on selected dates, 1964-70--Continued

1/ Direct-factory buyers are those distributors, jobbers, fabricators, and processors selected by the individual producers as the only concerns that can buy sheet glass directly from the factory. Other concerns desiring to purchase sheet glass in carload lots must purchase their glass from the direct-factory buyers at higher prices. Sales agents for the principal foreign manufacturers generally sell only to firms previously recognized by the domestic producer: as direct-factory buyers.

2/ West European glass higher in delivered price than domestic glass.
