WINDOW PRICES
(To the Editor.) Sir,— "Shop Fruit's" attitude and the legal' answer to his question are both right. But the matter should not rest there. The practice of exhibiting produce of superior quality at a specified price and supplying the customer with markedly inferior produce at that price is rife in New Zealand, and should be stopped. It is only one degree less reprehensible than putting superior fruit at the top and inferior at the bottom of the bucket.
We have numerous emergency regulations as to the sale of produce. Why not add another, compelling the shopkeeper to exhibit in his shop at specified prices fair samples of the fruit that he is prepared to supply to the customer at such prices and making any infringement of this regulation a punishable offence? -This would ensure a fair deal for the customer and would not impose an unreasonable restriction on the shopkeeper.—l am, etc., H. F. YON HAAST.
