There are two books of the same dimensions: one is red (1938) and the other is green (1956). Both contain slips of certificates pertaining to the certifying of the Weights and Measures. These books came from the Department of Weights and Measures. "This is to certify that I have this day tested, adjusted, sealed or condemned the above described article accorfding to the provisions of law." Some slips are filled out, some are yet to be filled. Examples: Fred Liston, Filling Station; M. F. Packard, General Store; Henry Snyder, Gas and Oil; Gurney Skelton, Gas and Oil; T. Jarvis, Fruit and Vegetables; Guy Thrasher, vegetables; A. E. Albert, potato grower; George Osgood, farmer; Gurney Skelton, garage;
The Green Book (1956) is the same with the writing "Book No. 2" on the cover. some examples: Guy Thrasher, road stand; George H. Osgood, farmer; A. E. Albert and Sons, potato grower; Joe Sena, potato grower; Liston's Service Station; The Corners Grocery; Leonard Tufts, Filling Station; Robert Cudworth, farming; etc. Most of these slips are the carbon copies, the originals having been taken by the person requiring certification.
