Sale of unwrapped bread. for
cash, at wholesale prices, at the
door of the bakery is urged by the
United States Food Administrator
Hoover in making public the rules
and regulations under which all
bakeries must operate.
1.-The food administrators made
these recommendations to bakers:
The United States food adj
mlnlstrator earnestly urges all
wholesale bakers to establish as the
wholesale prices of their products
the prices at which they will offer
such products for sale in lots of
70 pounds or more, unwrapped,
for cash, at the bakery door, the
prices so established to be subject
to such additional charges as may
be fair for wrapping and deliver
ing when such services are per-
formed by the baker. The United
States food administrator requests
that, when such wholesale prices
are established, the licensee report
this fact and state such prices to
the Federal food administrator in
the state where his bakery is loo.
ated.
Inasmuch as some wholesale
bakers in certain communities are
now retailing bread at their plants
direct to the consumer, unwrapped,
undelivered, and for cash, at
wholesale prices, the United States
food administrator recommends
that this practice be extended
wherever bakers find it possible tc
do so, adding only sufficient extra
charge to cover extra expense.
"The United States food admin
lstrator, believing that frequent
deliveries are uneconomical ana
tend to enhance prices, urges all
bakers to reduce deliveries where.
ever possible to one a day over each
route, and to consolidate deliveries
or zone their territories in order
to reduce the expense Of deliveries
as far as possible.
Some of the general rules and
regulations governing all licenses
manufacturing bakery products
are announced by the United
States food administrator. They
are:
"fhe licensee. in selling bakery
products, shall keep such products
moving to the consumer in Is d.
rect line as practicable and with.
out unreasonable delay. Rcsales
within the same trade without rea-
sonable justification, especially if
if tending to result in a higher
market price to the retailer or coll
sumner, will be dealt with as an un-
fair practice.
The llcensee shall not buy.
contract for, sell, store or otherwise
handle or deal in any food coin
modities for the purpose of unrea-
sonably increasing the price or
restricting the supply of such COM
modities or of monopolizing or at
tempting to mOnopolize either
locally, or generally, and of such
commodities.
"The licensee shall not destroy
any bakery products and shall not
