GENERAL STATEMENT. 



When of general interest, analyses will be made for parties within 

 the State, if samples are taken in accordance with instructions fur- 

 nished by the Department and the required data concerning the sam- 

 ples are given. 



Results of analyses are sent to parties sending samples and parties 

 from whom samples are obtained by the Department, as well as the 

 manufacturer of the products. 



It is the desire of the Department to put information into the 

 hands of manufacturers, dealers, and consumers of food, and to assist 

 them in every way it can to know and manufacture, handle and use 

 the best, most desirable and most wholesome food products. The 

 Food Control is in the interest of the honest manufacturer, the honest 

 dealer, and for the protection of the consumer.
