12296. Misbranding of flonr.     TJ.  S. v. 310 Sacks of Flour.     Default decree
of condemnation, foi-feitnre. and destruction. (P. & D. No. 18704. 
I. S. No. 16796-v.     S. No. EV-4842.)
On May 21, 1924, the United States attorney for the District of Massachusetts, 
acting upon a report by the Secretary of Agriculture, filed in the district court 
of the United States for said district a libel praying the seizure and condem- 
nation of 310 sacks of flour remaining in the original unbroken packages at 
Boston, Mass., alleging that the article had been shipped by the C. A. Gam- 
brill Mfg. Co. (Inc.), from Ellicott City, Md., on or about March 7, 1924, and 
transported from the State of Maryland into the State of Massachusetts, and 
charging misbranding in violation of the food and drugs act as amended. A 
portion of the article was labeled in part: (Sack) "Bleached Manufactured 
For Standard Grocery Company * * * Capitol * * * Flour Boston, 
Mass. Packed 5 Lbs." The remainder of the said article was labeled the same 
except that the weight was not stated.
Misbranding of the article was alleged in the libel for the reason that the 
statement " Manufactured For Standard Grocery Company * * * 5 Ub?." 
was false and misleading and deceived and misled the purchaser, and for the 
further reason that it was food in package form and the quantity of the con- 
tents was not plainly and conspicuously marked on the outside of the package.
On June 19, 1924, no claimant having appeared for the property, judgment 
of condemnation and forfeiture was entered, and it was ordered by the court 
that the product be destroyed by the United States marshal.
