On September 21, 1942, the United States attorney for the Southern District 
of California filed a libel against 69 cases, each containing 30 pounds, of butter 
at Los Angeles, Calif., alleging that the article had been shipped in interstate 
commerce on or about September 8, 1942, by the Lubbock Poultry & Egg, from 
Lubbock, Texas, and charging that it was adulterated and misbranded. The 
article was labeled in part: (Case) "30-Lb. Cartons Lake View Creamery Butter 
Wilson & Co.," (print) "Lake View Creamery Butter 2 Second Quality 2." The 
article was alleged to be adulterated in that it consisted in whole or in part of 
a filthy, putrid, or decomposed substance and was otherwise unfit for food. It 
was alleged to be misbranded in that the prints did not contain 1 pound net as 
labeled.
