MISBRANDING OF BUTTER.
On April 17, 1912, the United States Attorney for the District of?
Columbia, acting upon a report by the Secretary of Agriculture,?
filed in the Police Court of said District an information against?
Elby A. Jenkins, Earnest W. Jenkins, and Vernon D. Shreve, trading?
under the firm name and style of the Elgin Creamery Co., late of the?
District aforesaid, alleging the sale by said defendants, in violation?
of the Food and Drugs Act, on May 10, 1911, at the District afore??
said, of a quantity of butter which was misbranded. This product?
bore no label but was sold as good dairy butter.
Examination of a sample of the product by the Bureau of Chem??
istry of this Department showed it to be renovated butter. Mis??
branding was alleged in the information for the reason that the?
product was represented, to be good dairy butter, whereas, in truth?
and in fact, it was renovated butter.
On April IT, 1912, Vernon D. Shreve entered a plea of guilty to?
the information and a fine of $10 was imposed by the court.
