Judson Dunaway - FTC Actions

FTC Actions

In 1957, the Federal Trade Commission also took note of Judson Dunaway's marketing skills, although they weren't admiring them. The Judson Dunaway Corporation, General Mills, and Swanee Paper Corporation were charged with violating the Clayton Act in dealing with Grand Union Co., a large eastern supermarket chain. Grand Union agreed not to carry similar products to those of Dunaway and General Mills, and Grand Union received promotional allowances not available to Grand Union's competitors. All four companies signed consent decrees, a legal document in which one does not admit to doing anything wrong, but agrees to stop doing it.
