Ifthe goods have been in storage for two months one cent may be added for this item, and 4 cent for each additional month, but In no event can more than two cents be added to original cost as the item ot stor age. No allowance is made by the Food Administration for any shrinkage that may result in storing or in cutting and printing butter. The holder may average, if he de sires, the cost ot the different lots of butter stored in any month, but in such event he must averace the cost of all lots stored that month. In the event that the holder of stored butter is. at the same time, the man ufaeturer of the goods, he may determine his first cost by computing the cost ot raw ma terials and expense of manufacture, else consider as his cost reliable market quota tions in some daily commercial price cur rent on the day goods were stored. " 'The Food Administration says that cold-storage butter must be sold by the holder at a reasonable profit and at the same time sets certain figures as a maxi mum that may be taken as a profit.
