On August 10, 1939, the United States attorney for the Northern District of 
Illinois filed a libel against 15 tubs of butter at Chicago, Ill., alleging that the 
article had been shipped in interstate commerce on or about July 18, 1939, by 
Farmers Creamery Co. from St. Olaf, Iowa; and charging that it was adulterated 
in that a product which contained less than 80 percent by weight of milk fat had 
been substituted for butter.
On August 19, 1939, the Peter Fox Sons Co., Chicago, Ill., claimant, having 
admitted the allegations of the libel, judgment of condemnation was entered, 
and the product was ordered released under bond conditioned that it be reworked 
so that it contain at least 80 percent of milk fat.
