Says the Districts counsellor: "The we'll
known German preparation of cabbage,
known as sauer kraut. from the method of
its manufacture. contains more or less of
liquids, but, as the greater part of the
preparation is solid, my opinion is it should
be sold by dry measure. As to pickles. the
custom. as l am informed. is to sell both
by dry and liquid measure. If the pickles
are not drained they are sold by liquid
measure. II the brine vinegar is drained
off, they are sold by dry measure Ny
opinion is sauer kraut should be sold by
dry measure, and that pickles should be
sold by dry and liquid measure, according
as they are drained or not"
