“Visitors to New Zealand express surprise at our lax methods of packaging foodstuffs,” said Mr. E. W. Clarkson, secretary of the New Zealand Federation of Master Printers, when addressing members of the local association on the revision of the Customs tariff so far as it affected printers and paper merchants. His particular topic was -cellophane packaging, which, under the new tariff, is duty free. “Cellophane bags,” said the speaker, “are increasing *in use, and in other countries even railway refreshment room sandwiches are protected from possible contamination by these transparent wrappings.” Speaking further as a constant patron of the Limited, Mr. Clarkson advocated the increased use of these cellophane shrouds for the popular foods of those who travel by train. If this industry were developed it might then be possible to have a further revision of this item in the tariff. Men’s felt hats cleaned and re-blocked for 2/6.
