Source Records are Being Repeated on Each Page

You need to ensure that there is a Next Record field at the start of labels 2 and 3. The merge document itself should have one page. See
Mailmerge with Word 2007/2013

Mr. Mayor:

Thanks much for your post. Very useful.

Should Labels 2 and 3 have the merge field imbedded in them or just "Next Record". If yes, does it matter whether "Next Record" precedes or follows the merge field?

Read the very good link and it answers all questions. Again, thanks.

Mr. Mayor:

I followed your advice and some, but not all of the behavior on the mail merge I was looking for. Within any given page of labels (3 per page, one across) the "Next Record" command does produce the merge field value from the next record. However, the second page of labels now starts with the second record and displays merge values for the 2nd, 3d and 4th records. The third page of labels starts with the third record and displays the the merge values for the 3d, 4th and 5th records, etc. This happens both with my own custom 3-down, 1-across labels as well as with a test run I did on a standard Avery label template (!)(#5126).

Any idea what is happening here?
