No. 385. Disclosure of origin of imported locks. The Commission advised concerning locks imported from England and Italy that it would be necessary to make a clear and conspicuous disclosure of the foreign country of origin on the locks. If the locks are displayed at the point of sale in a container so that the disc10sure of origin is not likely to be seen, it would also be necessary to make the same disclosure of foreign origin on the containers in which they are packaged. Under the facts involved in the ruling, the locks wil be used for both residential and commercial purposes and some of them could be marketed under the trade name of a domestic company, which contains the name of a well-known American city.
