Those who bought displayed
a preference for boneless meat
and were buying mp the weeks

In most cases. purchasers were
not too well acquainted with the
point values OF certain cuts of
meat and confusion reigned when
the time came for final settlement.
Butchers all agreed that the pro-
cess took three 10 four times As
long TO wait on a customer than

One shop operator stated he
