FRIEDMAN

FARMERS
If Peddlers Measure Your
Foodstuffs With Metal
Measures They Are Amen
able to the Law, Says Ham
mond's City Sealer.

Farmers and peddlers using any
other but the wooden measuers known
as the white wood or Hoosier measures
are laying themselves open for con-
nict with Jacob Friedman. the city
seaier.
The white wood Hoosier measures
can be bought anywhere, and are not
manufactured by one firm, and the city
seaier insists on their use because they
are generally of a uniform size and
can be measured on the wagon. The
galvanized iron or tin measures are
usually of an odd shape and the only
way they can be measured is to have
them taken to the city.hall where they
are tested by comparison with the
standard measures. 1t is in the hope
OF saving the farmers and peddlers the
trips to the city hall. that the city
sealer will insist on the wooden
measures.
disadvantage In that they get dents
and kinks, all of which reduce their
capacity. Mr.. Friedman began his
campaign of education among the ped
dfers and farmers last year, and it has
had results, but occasionally he still
finds dealer who insists on using q
measure whose capacity is doubtful.
IN Chicago the metal measures are
not permitted.

as they used to- said Captain Hanlon
this morning, "and since they have

have cut the spark and slow down
considerably. although they are still a

cannot burn up our good roads"
