Retailers to Exhibit Prices
-
Every retailer who offers or exposes any eggs to which this order applies for sale in any shop shall keep in a prominent position in such proximity to the eggs to which it relates as to be obviously descriptive thereof a ticket, placard, or label on which shall be stated in legible and prominent characters the classification of the eggs according to whether they are “Large Grade”, “Standard Grade”, “Medium Grade”, “Pullet Grade”, or “Mixed” (in the case of hen eggs), or “Large”, “Small”, or “Mixed” (in the case of duck eggs), and the retail price per dozen of the eggs.
