4734. Misbranding of graham crackers.     U.  S. v, 82 Cartons  of Grahams.    De¬
fault decree of condemnation. Product ordered delivered to a charitable 
institution.    (F. D. C. No. 9224.   Sample No. 6352-F.)
This product was short of the declared weight.
On January 20, 1943, the United States attorney for the Eastern District of 
Missouri filed a libel against 82 cartons, each containing 6 packages, of graham 
crackers at St. Louis, Mo., alleging that the article had been shipped in inter- 
state commerce on or about December 9, 1942> by Thomas and Clarke, Inc., 
from Peoria,. Ill..; and charging that it was misbranded in that the statement 
"Net Weight Two Pounds" was false and misleading as applied to an article 
that was short-weight, and in that it was in package form and failed to bear 
a label containing an accurate statement of the quantity of the contents. The 
article was labeled in part: (Packages) "Evergood'Graham * * * Net Weight 
Two Pounds."
On February 12, 1943, no claimant having appeared, judgment of condemna- 
tion was entered and the product was ordered delivered to a charitable institu- 
tion.
