MERCHANDISE MARKS ACTS, 1926.
Under the powers conferred by the Act, Orders in Council have
been made dealing with, amongst other imported articles, various
foodstuffs. The goods must not be sold unless the name of the
country of origin is clearly marked. The policy underlying the
administration of such orders is to give the purchaser the opportunity
of choosing between home, empire or foreign goods.
Continuing the policy inaugurated last year, every new meat
trader or shopkeeper likely to be affected was given a copy of the
Merchandise Marks (Imported Goods) No. 7 Order, 1934, and the
various provisions were explained by the Food Inspector.
