A person who, with intent to defraud, sells or exposes for sale any meat or
meat preparations, and falsely represents the same to be kosher, whether such
meat or 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 calculated 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 both kosher and non-kosher
meat or meat preparations, whether raw or prepared for human consumption,
and who fails to indicate on his window signs and all display advertising, in
block letters at least four (4) inches in height, "kosher and non-kosher meat
sold here"; or who exposes for sale in 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 four (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 matter distributed in or outside of his place of business, words or letters
in Hebraic characters other than the word "kosher," or any sign, emblem,
insignia, six (6) pointed star, symbol, or mark in simulation of same, without
displaying in conjunction therewith, in English letters of at least the same size
as such characters, signs, emblems, insignia, symbols, or marks, the words
