sylvania filed a libel (amended May 16, 1941) against 768 cases, each containing 
24 No. 2 cans, of corn at Philadelphia, Pa., alleging that the article had been 
shipped in interstate commerce on or about February 5,1941, by Ladoga Canning 
Co. from Indianapolis, Ind.; and charging that it was misbranded. The article 
was labeled in.part: "Asco Brand Country Gentleman Fancy White Sugar Corn 
Cream Style   *    *    *    Grade A."

appearing on the labels, were false and misleading as applied to Grade B and 
Grade C corn.
On October 30, 1941, American Stores Co., Philadelphia, Pa., having appeared 
as claimant, judgment of condemnation was entered and the product was ordered 
released under bond conditioned that it be relabeled in compliance with the Jaw.
