    4    (b) No brand of liquor or wine shall be sold  to  or  purchased  by  a
    5  retailer  unless a schedule, as provided by this section, is transmitted
    6  to and received by the liquor authority, and is  then  in  effect.  Such
    7  schedule  shall  be  transmitted  to the authority in such form, manner,
    8  medium and format as the authority may  direct;  shall  be  deemed  duly
    9  verified by the person submitting such schedule upon its transmission to
   10  the  authority;  and shall contain, with respect to each item, the exact
   11  brand or trade name, capacity of package, nature of  contents,  age  and
   12  proof where stated on the label, the number of bottles contained in each
   13  case,  the  bottle  and case price to retailers, the net bottle and case
   14  price paid by the seller, which prices, in each instance, shall be indi-

   21  of the authority is granted for good cause shown  and  for  reasons  not
   22  inconsistent  with  the  purpose of this chapter. Such schedule shall be
   23  transmitted by each manufacturer selling such brand to retailers and  by
   24  each wholesaler selling such brand to retailers.
