This product was short of the declared weight.
On or about February 5, 1940, the United States attorney for the Northern 
District of Illinois filed a libel against 68 cases of canned cherries at Chicago, 
111., alleging that the article had been shipped in interstate commerce on or 
about August 22, 1939, by Keystone Cooperative Grape Association, Inc., from 
Erie, Pa.; and charging that it was misbranded in that the statement "Con- 
tents 1 Lb. 5 Oz." appearing upon the containers was false and misleading 
since it was incorrect; and in that it was in package form and did not bear
an accurate statement of the quantity of the contents. , It was labeled in part: 
(Cans) "Rand-Co Brand Pitted Black Cherries ¦?,.¦* * Packed for Ran- 
dolph Wholesale Grocery Co., Chicago, Ill."
On February 28, 1940, Keystone Cooperative Grape Association, claimant, 
having admitted the allegations of the libel, judgment of condemnation was 
entered, and the product was ordered released under bond, to be relabeled under 
the supervision of this Department
