defined in the Act of October 3, 1944, C. 479, 58 Statutes 765,
known as the "Surplus Property Act of 1944", who or which carries or
trades under, or in any way uses in dealing with the public,
directly or indirectly, any name which by reason of the inclusion of

such materials are offered for sale has some official relationship

there sold are of higher quality and lower prices than those
elsewhere obtainable; provided, however, that this act shall not
