The maximum retail price that may be charged or received by any retailer (including a producer) for any eggs to which this order applies shall be the appropriate maximum price specified in the Second and Third Schedules hereto, except, that in the case of cartoned eggs bought within the Invercargill Egg Marketing Area for resale outside such area, the maximum price that may be charged or received by any retailer shall be the appropriate maximum price specified in the Third Schedule hereto and as stamped on the carton.

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.
