§ 1219-11. Flameproof Decorations.

No person, firm, association or corporation shall buy, sell, offer for sale, or use in any manner any electrical equipment or device, except electric light bulbs of any kind, used or intended for use as decorations or illumination for Christmas trees, unless such equipment or device bears the label or listing of any nationally known and accepted testing laboratory, approved by the fire chief, nor shall any other material be used for the decoration or embellishment of any real or simulated Christmas tree or any other decorative device used during the Christmas season, if such material is proven not to be flame resistant.

Cotton batting, straw, dry vines, leaves, trees or other highly flammable materials shall not be used for decoration or other purposes in show windows, stores or other public occupancies unless rendered flameproof; provided, however, that nothing in this section shall be held to prohibit the display of goods permitted and offered for sale in the store. Electric light bulbs in stores or public halls shall not be decorated with paper or other combustible materials unless such materials shall have been rendered flameproof.
