SELLING SNUFF
BY Agent Plan
TOBACCO COMPANY SUCCESSFUL
IN EVADING THE NEW PRoHlB-
TORY MEASURE, ACCORDING
TO REPORT PUBLISHED IN THE
GRAND FORKS TIMES.

Grand Forks Times: That the
American Tobacco Co. is seeking
agents in North Dakota through whom
snuff can be sold in the original pack
ages, thus evading the anti-snuff law
passed by the last session Of the state
legislature. is the report received from
several cities in which agents have
worked.
The new law has no effect on goods
sold in the original package direct
from the point of production to the
buyer. For this reason it is said the
tobacco company is seeking to estab-
fish agencies in this and other cities
where orders fo- the snuff may be
taken.
This is done. it is said. by the agents
leaving a number of order blanks for
the snuf in a conspicuous place. These
are taken by persons desiring snuff,
and sent to the company after being
hlled in with the name and address of
the sender. =:
A short time later the snuff arrives
n the agent receives a commission
on the transaction. AS a general rule
twenty or more orders are filled at a
time by the snuff dealers.
This plan is said to have been tried
successfully in Kindred and other
Dakota towns. It's legality has
not as yet been tested in the courts.

STORAGE
and THE CONSUMER
NUMEROUS COMPLAINTS ABOUT
THE ENFORCEMENT OF THE
NEW LAW BRING STATEMENT
FROM PURE FOOD COMMISSION
Err LADD. .'@ -. 'a

To The Forum: There are numer-
complaints from dealers against
the enforcement. of the; provision of
the cold storage law requiring the in
formation to be given on each and ev-
cry package or. container going to the
consumer purchaser. .
For whose benefit are the. laws
enacted? Are they enacted for the in
formation and protection of. the pur-
chasing and consuming public, or to
give the manufacturers and dealers
trade advantages. the benefits of which
do not come to the :consumer? /. take
It that the laws are enacted: for. the
protection Of the people who purchase
the goods for their own use. .Suchvis
the Interpretation made by the SUI
preme court of New York: when it
says:
THE manifest purpose of the statute
is to give the purchaser notice Of the
exact character Of the article he is
buying" ~
What could be more clear and expli-
cit? And again the same court says:
The label upon the original tub or
package was placed there by the
wholesaler in obedience to this very
statute. but that does not, in my opin-
ion,9 relieve the retail dealer of the
duty of placing a similar label upon
each pound or other quantity sold by
him to the customer"
Complaint is also made that. North
Dakota isgthe only state requiring that
every parcel shall be labeled to show
that it comes from cold storage. Here,
again. they are mistaken. The Massa-
chusetts statute say with regard to
products which have been in cold
storage:
1.-THE basket, box, or other c~ontainer
shall be marked plainly and
conspicuously with the words Cold
Storage, ETC."
Pennsylvania provides:
Such foods exposed for sale at re-
tail must be accompanied by a similar
label, and when sold must be delivered
in a wrapper bearing a similar state
ment in large type"
The city of Lexington, KY, following
the state law, provides:
"All cold storage meats =
shall be plainly labeled or. branded to
show evidence of cold storage to the
consuming public"
+ 1t will thus be- observed that the
North Dakota law and its. regulations.
do not differ from those of other.
states, and the consuming public have:
a right to- know that the goods have
been in cold storage; not. that such.
goods may be less valuable, in fact, it
may be more valuable than goods not
In. cold storage. Nevertheless, the same
right exists for the protection of the
