It was labeled in part: "Sapphire * * *," "Shellabarger's Peacock Flour," 
"Kelly's Famous Flour," "Polar Bear Flour," "Robin Hood Flour," Wingold High 
Protein Flour," or "Boxer Flour."
The article was alleged to be adulterated in that it consisted in whole or in 
part of a filthy substance; and in that it had been held under insanitary conditions
