Rule 20. When cheese are offered under the Call, without
Inspector's Certificate, should the buyer not consider the
cheese a good delivery, according to description by
seller, he may notify the seller, and if the seller is
unwilling to make another delivery, the buyer may call
upon the Inspector to decide whether or not the delivery
shall stand. If the Inspector decides it is a good
delivery, the buyer shall accept the cheese. If the
Inspector decides it is not a good delivery, then the
seller shall have twenty-four (24) hours in which to make
a good delivery. But if the seller, after twenty-four (24)
hours, fails to make a good delivery, then the buyer shall
notify the Superintendent of the Exchange, who shall
collect a penalty of three per cent of the amount of the
transaction, the Exchange retaining twenty-five per cent
of this sum, and seventy-five per cent shall be paid to
the buyer.
Rule 21. Spot sales under the Call shall be for spot cash
unless otherwise agreed.
Rule 22. All failures in meeting contracts shall be
reported to the Superintendent of the Exchange, and
announced at next regular session of the Exchange.
+330. Marketing perishable varieties.+--Soft cheeses, such as Cream,
Neufchâtel, Cottage, are usually sold to jobbers or directly to retail
stores. They have a very short commercial life, hence cannot be held
long before delivery to the consumer. From the jobber, cheese usually
goes to the wholesale grocer and then to the retail dealer and finally
the consumer. Most jobbers have cold storages so that they can hold
cheese without injury to quality. (See Fig. 74.) The kind of cheese
marketed in any locality depends on the tastes of the residents. For
example, the South usually desires a highly colored product, thinking
this color indicates more fat; in the Cheddar group New England demands
a soft pasty quick-curing cheese, thinking that softness is a sign of
more fat and richness; England wants a rather dry, well-cured, highly
flavored cheese. Canadian Cheddar cheese has been standardized as far
as possible to appeal to the English market. A long ripening period
keeps capital tied up through the further time required for delivery.
This has led to the sale of much of the cheese almost or entirely
unripe. So much of the product has reached the consumer without
characteristic varietal flavor that large numbers have acquired the
habit of purchasing and even preferring cheese only partly ripe.
