NO PAPER FOR MEAT
MASTERTON BUTCHERS NOTIFY PUBLIC. IMPOSSIBLE TO OBTAIN SUPPLIES. From Monday next, the public. of Masterton will be required to bring their own wrappings when purchasing meat. Masterton butchers find it impossible to obtain supplies of wrapping paper and as their stocks are almost exhausted they have no alternative but to ask the public to find their own coverings. One retailer said that the position had been acute for some time and that action had been delayed as long as possible in the hope that supplies might become available. One big wholesale paper firm had had no paper in stock since February and had found it impossible to get new supplies. Butchers in certain other places in New Zealand had already ceased to provide paper. Deliveries would still be made by Masterton butchers. Mutton and flour bags, no doubt, would be used largely in place of paper, but, of course, the public would have to find these. The retailer concluded by saying that it was recognised that the decision to discontinue the use of paper would cause considerable inconvenience, but on account of the impossibility of obtaining paper no other course was open.
