On May 14, 1930, the United States attorney for the District of New Jersey, 
acting upon a report by the Secretary of Agriculture, filed in the District Court 
of the United States for saict district a libel praying seizure and condemnation 
of 60 tubs of butter at Elizabeth, N. J., alleging that the article had been shipped 
by the Universal Carloading & Distributing Co., from Savanna, Ill., on or 
about May 1, 1930, and transported from the State of Illinois into the State 
of New Jersey, and charging adulteration and misbranding in violation of the 
food "and drugs act. The article was labeled in part: (Stenciled on tub) " L. F. 
Hersh & Bro. S. C. Universal Carloading & Dist. Co. Savanna, Illinois."
It was alleged in the libel that the article was adulterated in that a substance 
deficient in butterfat had been substituted wholly or in part for the said 
article and had been mixed and packed with it so as to reduce, lower, or in- 
juriously affect its quality or strength.
Misbranding was alleged for the reason that the article was offered for sale 
under the distinctive name of another article.
