"TOO HIGH AND UNFAIR"
REPORTED PRICE OF I' 7
COMMENT BY MINISTER
A published report that some grocers were intending to charge Is 7d a pound for butter over the counter was brought under the notice of the Minister of Marketing, who described this price as altogether too high and unfair, when compared with the rise in the wholesale rates.
