meat preparations be raw or prepared for human consumption, or as having been

prepared under, and of a product or products sanctioned by, the orthodox Hebrew

religious requirements, either by direct statement orally, or in writing, which might

reasonably be c alculated to deceive or lead a reasonable man to believe that a

representation is being made that such meat or meat preparation is kosher or

prepared in accordance with the orthodox Hebrew religious requirements, or falsely

represents any meat products or the contents of any package or container to be so

constituted and prepared, by having or permitting to be inscribed thereon the word

"kosher" in any language; or sells or exposes for sale in the same place of business

kosher meat sold here"; or who exposes for sale i n any show window or place of

business both kosher and non -kosher meat or meat preparations, either raw or

prepared for human consumption, and who fails to display over each kind of meat

or meat preparations, so exposed a sign in block letters at least fou r (4) inches in

height reading "kosher meat," or "non -kosher meat," as the case may be, or who

displays on his window, or in his place of business, or in handbills or other printed
