No person doing business in this state and engaged in the production, manufacture,
distribution or sale of any commodity or product, or service or output of a service
trade, of general use or consumption, or the product or service of any public utility,
with the intent to destroy the competition of any regular established dealer in such
commodity, product or service, or to prevent the competition of any person who in
good faith intends and attempts to become such dealer, shall discriminate between
different sections, communities or cities, or portions thereof or locations therein, in
this state, by selling or furnishing such commodity, product or service at a lower
rate in one section, community or city, or any portion thereof or location therein,
than in another, after making allowance for difference, if any, in the grade or
quality, and in the actual cost of transportation from the point of production, if a
raw product or commodity, or from the point of manufacture, if a manufactured
product or commodity. The inhibition against locality discrimination shall embrace
any scheme of special rebates, collateral contracts or any device of any nature
whereby such discrimination is, in substance or fact, effected in violation of the
spirit and intent of this section.
Motion picture films when delivered and under a lease to motion picture houses
shall not be deemed a commodity or product of general use or consumption under
this section. This section is not intended to prohibit the meeting in good faith of a
competitive rate, or to prevent a reasonable classification of service by public
utilities for the purpose of establishing rates.
