On April 28, 1924, the United States attorney for the Eastern District of 
Pennsylvania, 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 condemnation of 233 cases of mustard salad dressing remaining in the 
original unbroken packages at Philadelphia, Pa., consigned by Charles Gulden 
(Inc.), New York, N. Y., alleging that the article had been shipped from New 
York, N. Y., on or about November 28, 1923, and transported from the State 
of New York into the State of Pennsylvania, and charging misbranding in 
violation of the food and drugs act.
Misbranding of the article was alleged in substance in the libel for the reason 
that the labels on the jars containing the said article bore the following state- 
ments, " Gulden's Mustard Saladressing With Currie Charles Gulden Inc. 
New York Net Weight 10 Oz. Avd.," which statements were false and mislead- 
ing in that they represented that the said jars contained 10 ounces net weight 
of the said article, when in fact they did not.
On May 26, 1924, Gulden & Co., New York, N. Y., having appeared as claim- 
ant for the property, judgment of condemnation and forfeiture was entered, and 
it was ordered by the court that the product be released to the said claimant 
upon payment of the costs of the proceedings and the execution of a bond in 
the sum of $600, in conformity with section 10 of the act, conditioned in part 
that the product be relabeled under the supervision of this department.
