MISBRANDING OF GERMAN GRITS.
On January 17, 1912, the United States Attorney for the Northern?
District of Illinois, acting upon a report by the Secretary of Agri??
culture, filed in the District Court of the United States for said dis??
trict a libel for the seizure and condemnation of 25 bags of German?
grits remaining unsold in the original unbroken packages and in the?
possession of Hyman Sachs, Louis Glass, and Max Udelowish, part??
ners doing business as the Standard Grocery Co., Chicago, 111., alleg??
ing that the product had been shipped on December 16, 1911, by A.?
Pepp & Sons Co., a corporation, Philadelphia, Pa., and transported?
from the State of Pennsylvania into the State of Illinois, and charg??
ing misbranding in violation of the Food and Drugs Act. The prod??
uct was labeled: " German Grits Number 1, for Standard Grocery?
Co., Chicago, 111., from A.,Pepp and Sons, Millers, 837-39 Washing??
ton Ave., Philadelphia, Pa."
Misbranding was alleged in the libel for the reason that the labels?
on the product purported to state that it was a foreign product manu??
factured in the Empire of Germany, whereas, as a.matter of fact, it?
was manufactured in the city of Philadelphia, State of Pennsylvania,?
and was not a foreign product.
On February 13, 1912, no claimant having appeared for the prop??
erty, judgment of condemnation and forfeiture was entered and it?
was further ordered that the product should be sold by the marshal?
and relabeled by the purchaser.?
