Libby, McNeill & Libby, a corporation, trading at Seattle, Wash., alleging 
shipment by said company, in violation of the food and drugs act, on or about 
August 11, 1924, from the Territory of Alaska into the State of Washington, 
of a quantity of canned salmon which was adulterated. The article was 
labeled in part: " Libby's Fancy Red Alaska Salmon * * * Packed By 
Libby McNeill & Libby Main Office Chicago."
