Mercer county is soon to adopt
the card system in the buying OF

grocer each time they purchase any
sugar. On this card Will be a space
for the amount purchased, the day
and the month in which it was pur-
chased. The grocer whenever he
makes a sale of sugar to a custom

sumner the amount purchased and
the date Of purchase. Also every
month the grocer will send in an
other card to the county food ad-
ministTatOr showing how much this
Customer has purchased through
cut the entire month.
Customers can not purchase any
sugar of any merchant unless they
have their cards with them for the
grocer to sign. This plan has not
been absolutely adopted yet but Will
