Excerpt from Conditions in Certain Cities of the State of California Relative to Weights and Measures
The city of San Francisco, California, has no local ordinance on the subject of weights and measures, except one ordinance in relation to the sale of butter in print form, no inspection of the weights and measures in commercial use, and no city standards by means of which the accuracy of those in use might be determined. In the absence of state laws on the subject, the city is, therefore, totally unprotected in this important matter.

Paperback. Zustand: New. Print on Demand. This book uncovers the rampant fraud and inaccuracy that pervaded the sale of everyday goods in one American city in the early 20th century. The author, a government inspector, meticulously documents the prevalence of faulty scales, underweight butter, and mislabeled packages. Through an analysis of the scale table and other data, the author reveals that honest merchants faced unfair competition from unscrupulous rivals, while consumers bore the brunt of the deception.

By exposing these fraudulent practices, the author underscores the importance of government oversight in safeguarding the public from exploitation.
