Butter in Overseas Parcels
Dear Aunt Daisy, I read in a letter in The Listener inquiring if butter could be sent to England, so would like to send on the following information. Yes, tinned butter can be sent. One has only to go to one of the well-known chain grocery stores, pay the manager 8/- and instruct him to send two pound tins of butter to the required address in England. He sends it on to the Government, and they do the rest. They also stock the butter in one-pound tins (sealed) for 2/1d., which you can post yourself if desired. The same also applies to tinned honey and cheese. I expect all grocers extend this service to their customers, but I only happen to know of my own grocery store, as I have sent through them, Hoping this may be of some help to any who have friends or relations overseas, as we all have these days. Personally I have four brothers to send to, -Butterfingers (Taranaki), Thank you so much for telling us of your experience-it will help a lot of people, I am sure,
