Was organized at Morrisville, Vermont, January, 1893. The object of
this association is to improve the quality and increase the quantity
of the maple product of the state, and to protect the manufacturer and
consumer from the many fraudulent preparations that are placed upon the
markets of this country as pure maple sugar and syrup, and to inform
the general public where the genuine article can be procured. The
members of this association consist of the best manufacturers of maple
sugar and syrup in the state, and their names and post-office address
may be found in this work, and any dealer or consumer ordering sugar or
syrup from them will be sure to get that which is pure and free from
adulteration.
The association owns and issues a protected label to its members upon
their agreement, filed with the secretary, that they will only use
it upon packages containing pure maple sugar or syrup, of standard
quality, of their own manufacture, a copy of which label will be found
in this work, and a purchaser of a package covered by this label may
be assured of its purity. The improper or unauthorized use of this
label or any adulteration of the products covered by the same will be
prosecuted to the full extent of the law by the association.
