I did some VERY serious editing/cleaning up on this EPUB in late November/early December 2012. It was officially placed on Mises.org on January 18th, 2013:

The Regulated Consumer by Mary Bennett Peterson
Status: Almost Complete (v.3)
EPUB: https://mega.co.nz/#!csoxSYoA!V-3JmksbLdKXoMDppNSbHzjOLHIBp8W265K_ZL9XkB0
Page xvi: par. 2: bureaucracy
There is increasing dissatisfaction with centralized government and impersonal bureacuracy.
Page 24: bottom par.: entrepreneurs
Many may be inclined to say that these enterpreneurs of another era were economically done in by the giants of Detroit, the huge utilities, Westinghouse and General Electric, the food chains of A & P, Safeway, Grand Union, and other corporate octopi.
Page 52: par. 1: harassment
But in practice the agency has bogged down in red tape and time-consuming bureaucracy and has frequently become a vehicle for intervention and industry harrassment by consumerists in and out of government.
Page 61: par. 1: defendant
Judge J. Cullen Ganey of the federal court in Philadelphia, who had the job of passing sentence, rightfully ripped into the defendent corporations and executives as saboteurs of the free enterprise system and the American consumer.
Page 70: blockquote: criticized
To do so would have been foolish; and whatever else has been said about them, the old Standard organization was seldom critized for making less money when it could readily have made more.
Page 70: par. 2: Moreover
Morever, the regular customers of the predatory price cutter are not likely to take kindly to news of discriminatory price cuts elsewhere.
Page 71: bottom par.: matter
And, when the occasion requires, as in the cases of computers, xerography and 60-second cameras, Wall Street seems quite ready, willing and able to finance yet another enterprising idea, no mater how big.
Page 106: par. 1: Meanwhile
Meanwhle, seeing their jobs evaporate before their eyes, 83 percent of the workers signed a petition saying they would rather forget the union, but it was too late as far as the company was concerned.

But the diffculty of maintaining regulatory neutrality, upholding objectivity and avoiding favoritism, [...]
Page 137: par. 1: service
The “problem” for the regulators was that the irregular coach operators were running practically a regular route sevice on long-haul runs, and this was competition with the trunks that the regulators felt had to stop.
Page 137: end of par. 1: benefited
So once again we see that regulation can mean anything but security for those who are regulated, or economy for those who are supposedly benefitted—the consumers.
Page 138: par. 0: stratagem
Meanwhile, Northeast by one legal strategem or another managed to keep flying to Florida—long past the deadline of November 15, 1963, set by the CAB.
Page 138: par. 1: besieged
But pressure is an old story to the CAB and to every other regulatory agency ever beseiged by attorneys, witnesses, politicians, lobbyists, industry people, and other interested parties—but rarely, if ever, by the consumer.
Page 146: par. 0: Accidental ’ instead of ”
The FCC is also concerned with the frequency and “loudness’ of commercials but the Federal Trade Commission, as noted, has jurisdiction over false and misleading advertising over the air.
Page 147: bottom par.: Missing period after second "P.M"
Zenith had overriden Secretary of Commerce Hoover’s licensing restrictions of the wavelength of 332.4 meters and hours of operation limited to 10:00 P.M. to 12:00 P.M on Thursdays, provided that such hours were not wanted by General Electric’s Denver station.
Page 148: end of par. 0: Missing closing ”
Meanwhile, the Senate passed a resolution declaring the airwaves to be “the inalienable possession of the people of the United States:
Page 152: two Footnote 1s are located in the text.
Page 156: par. 2 (Middle of Page): candidates
It was suspended with bipartisan support for the 1960 elections which permitted TV debates between candidates Kennedy and Nixon and left out some twenty-two other candididates.
Page 165: par. 1: criteria
In each case the regulators attempt not only to gauge the market forces of supply and demand but also to gauge such distinctly nonmarket citeria as a congressionally-required “balanced national transportation system” and “parity between farm and nonfarm prices,” as prevailed in the 1909-1914 period.
Page 172: par. 0: wrong closing quotation mark
Consider, for example, the additional pennies per gallon of gasoline imposed on the consumer by the government’s oil import quota policy—a policy established in the name of “national defense“ but eagerly sought by the domestic oil producers.
