The rising cost OF living today
brought a warning 10 housewives
from George Austin Jr., deputy
city sealer. division of weights
Hand measures. who declared that
louseholders should be their own
weight and parcel checkers when
they visit the market.
In a compiled list OF hints to
the householder. Austin urged that
shoppers should not feel that call
ing short weight 10 the attention
OF the clerk or store manager is
sufficient.
"A phone call should be made
to RIA. 500, Bureau OF Weights
and Measures, and the store will
be placed under surveillance"
Austin said
His hints suggest: ID carry pad
and pencil on shopping trips SO
that you can compute prices; (2)
ask price per pound before order
ing; CD do not buy pre-packaged
commodity by size OF container.
Look for statement of quality and
contents. Often larger packages
contain the least merchandise.
THE great aIority Of mer-
chants are honest" Austin said.
But shoppers should protect
themselves. This In only fair to
the honest merchant"
