 necessitates weighing every print which goes out from his 

 establishment. 



Jobber. The jobbers who handle butter in lots should buy 

 and sell by weight as well as by count. The butter should be 

 billed for exactly what it weighs. If there is a discrepancy 

 between the number of prints and the total weight that fact 

 should be stated in the invoice. 



Retailer. The retailer will be held strictly responsible for 

 the weight of the butter he sells. He is advised to insist that 

 all butter purchased be full weight, but if he should have short 

 weight butter for sale every print should be sold for exactly 

 what it weighs and the customer informed of the fact. It is 

 not allowable to sell short weight butter by the print and not 

 give information that it is short weight. 



Consumer. The consumer is urged to weigh butter pur- 

 chased and insist upon receiving full weight. The consumer as 

 well as the dealer is urged to communicate with this office 

 whenever short weight butter is found.
