CONTAINED LAW
CAUSING TROUBLE

Not entirely a bed of roses is the
Office chair of Commissioner of Dairy
and Food Products Hubert F. Potter,
nowadays, but Mr. Potter is bearing
UP braVely and insists that he is as
joyful as ever, even with the enforce
ment of the new container law, which
goes into effect today staring him in
the face.
This law, which has already stirred
milk dealers, because of Mr.. Potter's
ruling that bottles are containers and
that they will have to be marked
plainly with their contents of milk
product sold, and is likely to cause no
end of trouble to unwary grocerS and
retail dealers Inquiries as to just
what the law affects and how they
are going to comply with it have been
coming in for a week, and Mr.. Potter
and his stenographer are kept busy
The milk question has by no means
been settled by Mr.. Potter's statement
that rubber stamp may be used on
the paper caps of the bottles, tenn
porariIy Large milk dealers, who
pasteurize their milk, have to print
the date Of the process on each bot
one barrels of printed caps, each bear
ing different date of the month
Should they also print the contents
of the bottle on the caps, they will
have to have ninety-three barrels-for
quarts, pints and half-pints. OF
course, this does not sound good to
them 1t Will not be at all SurprO1S1ng
if the big companies decide to ignore
the law, let Mr. Potter bring suit and
carry the matter to the supreme court
for final decision. If they are fore
ed to replace their bottles it will
mean a, great loss to them.
As to the ruling on loose food
stuffs-put up at the corner grocery
as ordered-there will be confusion
If the grocer puts up a peck of pota-
toes in a paper bag, while his GUS
toner waits at the counter. or pos
sibIy to fill a telephone order, there
is no need of marking cone Peck, -
on the bag, but if the grocer, to save
time. puts up number Of standard
packages of turnips, tea, sugar or
what not to sell during rush hours
the contents must be plainly marked
on the bag.
Brewers will have to mark the con-
tents OF their various bottles on the
top label and fruiterers will also
have several marks to make.
OF course, things will straighten out
after a while, but until they do and
merchants get on to the new duties
expected of them, there is apt to be
more confusion than, attended the
first days of the parcel post

You might ask why we can
do this at the beginning Of the
season. There are several
reasons:
The first and most important one
is our CASH buying and CASH selling.
We are able to take advantage OF the
market, securing values which cannot
be secured by stores that are short Of
money.
Another reason-We own and
operate ten retail stores in Vermont,
New Hampshire and Massachusetts,
retailing annually more than a million
dollars of Merchandise for cash.
We have a buyer who purchases
the materials, from which these gar
ments are made, direct from the Ameri-
can Wooden Company, and has them
tailored by high-class New York tai
Tors under his personal supervision.
This eliminates the middleman's profit
which is about twenty per cent.
Any store doing a credit business
is perfectly satisfied when customer
says charge it, and tacks on to legiti-
mate retail price from $500 to $500.
This is TO take care of the fellow who
doesn't pay.
But what about the fellow
that DOES pay? He pays for
the clothes he1wears and helps
pay for those worn by others.
We cordially invite you to inspect
these garments made from strictly all
wool or worsted fabrics, and see for
yourself. Our price
