Before certificates can be issued.
manufacturers must make out a de-
finite report on the form prepared
by the food administration. which
can be secured on application to the
Vermont Administration Offices In St.

denominations Of from 90 pounds to
10000 pounds, and the manufactures

the manufacturers as the basis on
which the sugar certificates are to be
issued should include all sugar pur-
chases made by the manufacturer up
to May IL, and consequently will not
be accepted by the state food admin
istration before that date although

before then.
