tion or not) with any contents of a nature different from that deliv-
ered therein; or to sell, buy, rent or otherwise traffic in any clean,
laundered or soiled articles mentioned in this chapter so marked or

cover up, or otherwise remove, conceal or destroy, any such name,
mark or device of identification affixed, attached, impressed or im-
printed thereto or thereon; or to wilfully break, destroy or otherwise
