23856. Misbranding of bread.    IT. S. v. Kenneth J. Williams (Naborbood
Dutch  Bakeries).    Plea  of nolo  contendere.    Fine,  $25.     (F.  & D.
no. 31524.    Sample nos. 37144-A to 37148-A, incl.)
This case was based on interstate shipments of bread which was labeled 
with an incorrect statement of the quantity of the contents, samples taken 
from all shipments having been found to weigh less than the declared weight.
On June 8, 1934, the United States attorney for the Eastern District of 
Washington, acting upon a report by the Secretary of Agriculture, filed in 
the district court an information against Kenneth J. McWilliams, trading as 
Naborhood Dutch Bakeries, Spokane, Wash., alleging shipment by said defend- 
ant under the name of " Cambern " on or about June 12, 1933, from the State 
of Washington into the State of Idaho, of quantities of bread which was mis- 
branded in violation of the Food and Drugs Act as amended. A portion of the 
article was labeled: "McWilliams Genuine Dutch-Maid Sliced Wheat Bread 
* * * Cambern Dutch Bakeries, Spokane, W * * * One Pound." The 
remainder was labeled: " Cambern Superfine Bread * * * One and One- 
Half pounds [or " One Pound "] Cambern Dutch Bakeries."
The article was alleged to be misbranded in that it was food in package 
form and the quantity of contents was not plainly and conspicuously marked 
on the outside of the package.
On September 4, 1934, the defendant entered a plea of nolo contendere, and 
the court imposed a fine of $25.
M. L. WILSON, Acting Secretary of Agriculture.
