In order to inform tradesmen and others as to the provisions
of the new Act concerning the Sale of Food and Drugs, which
came into operation on January 1, 1900, the Vestry published the
following summary : —
(1) All packages of "Margarine" or "Margarine Cheese" must be marked
as such in |-inch letters on the top, bottom and sides of such package, not on a
label attached thereto. When exposed for sale, it must be marked in 1½-inch
block letters, and when sold must be delivered in a wrapper marked in ½--inch
block letters "Margarine" or "Margarine Cheese," as the case may be, and no
other printed matter must appear on the wrapper. All manufacturers and
wholesale dealers in Margarine must register the premises in which their business
is carried on with the local authority.
(2) No one-shall make, sell or expose for sale any Margarine the fat of
which contains more than 10 per cent, of butter fat.
(3) Every person who by himself or his servant, in any highway or place
of public resort, sells milk or cream from any vehicle, can or other receptacle,
must have his name and address conspicuously inscribed on the vehicle or
receptacle.
(4) Every tin containing condensed separated or skimmed milk must bear a
label clearly visible to the purchaser, on which the words "Machine skimmed
Milk," or "Skimmed Milk," as the case may require, are printed in large and
legible type.
(5) No label giving notice of admixture of any article shall be deemed to be
distinctly and legibly written or printed if the notice of mixture is obscured by
any other matter on the label.
(6) All samples when purchased must be divided into three parts. If the
vendor wishes to have one of these parts, he must ask the purchaser for it.
(7) At the request or with the consent of the purchaser or consignee,
samples of all articles may be taken in course of delivery.
