WARNING.

It has been reported to us that Edam Cheese has been imported in this Colony of a quality containing only 20% fat, instead of 40% as a good Edam Cheese should contain.

Every Chelse-bears a government label Indicating the percentage of fat, but there is no such indication on the tin, so that a buyer has to buy a tin and open it first before he knows whether he gets the value for his money.

In order to protect our interests as well as those of our customers we have decided to indicate on the tins the percentage of lat, of which kindly take note."

The following are copies of the government labels.
