BLENDED BUTTER
MISLEADING WRAPPERS. CAMPAIGN AGAINST SALE. DIVIDED OPINION. (United Press Association—By Electric Telegraph.—Copyright.) Received April 7, 10.30 a.m. LONDON, April 6. The campaign against the sale of blended butter in wrappers not indicating the source of origin is being vigorously carried on. Its organisers’ activities'are receiving much publicity in the Press.
In the meantime, the opinions of retail traders on the subect seem divided. For instance, the president of the Midland Counties Grocers’ Association, in the course of an address before that body, said that the promoters of the Blended Butter Bill might not be aware of the possible injury that would be done to British butter if the bill became law. The practice of blending butter had made butter more palatable and saleable, and had led to more British butter being sold. On the other hand, the director of aii important London grocery store, writing in a trade paper, says that it is clear that public opinion is solidly against the continued use of wrappers conveying the impression that the blend of the butter is English butter, and he suggests that in their own interests local grocers’ associations should definitely range themselves on the side of the public.
