DON’T BUY STALE BUTTER
SIGN IN MULTIPLE SHOPS DOMINION PRODUCE DISPARAGED. ALLEGED “DIRTY’’ PRACTICE. (Special to News.) Auckland, Last Night. "Don’t buy stale New Zealand butter. Buy fresh Danish.” This was the reading of large placards displayed in the large multiple shops in Great Britain, said Mr. F. Colbeek, who took part in a debate on dairy control at the Farmers’ Union meeting at Ta-tu-nui. Mr. Colbeek said that recently he met an immigrant from England who had told him that this was so. A voice: “Are you sure that this is not propaganda ?” Another voice: “Who put them there. The Danes?” Mr. Colbeck: “They were put there by the multiple shops of Great Britain. It has made me very sad at heart to think that a merchant would descend to such a dirty thing to make a few shillings.” A voice: “Who owns the shops?” Mr. Colbeek replied that they were British shops run by British capital.
