sound and reliable quality.
Six parcels of various goods purchased from retail tradesmen
were condemned, and the purchasers reimbursed on my certificate.
One wholesale delivery was also condemned on submission by the
retailer.
The shops and markets are regularly inspected at least one
evening in the week as well as during the day in the district
Inspectors' routine work.
