No person engaged in selling the products of a farm or garden, on commission or otherwise, shall allow the basket or other package containing any of such products, upon which the name or mark of the owner is distinctly branded, stamped, painted or otherwise impressed, to go out of his possession without first demanding and receiving a sum of money equal to the full value of such basket or other package. Such sum of money shall be refunded to the purchaser of such products upon the return of the basket or other package in as good condition as when he received the same. The money collected on baskets or other packages not returned shall be paid to the owner at the end of each month.
