Rensselaer Semi-Weekly Republican, Volume 39, Number 36, Rensselaer, Jasper County, 8 January 1907 — Watch the Label on Your Caused Goods [ARTICLE]

Watch the Label on Your Caused Goods

The pure food law went into effect the first of the’ year. Now look at the label of your canned goods and you can tell whether it is pure or has-been adulterated. The puie food law requires that all food stuffs shall have the word “adulterated” printed on the label, and by an inspection of the label yon can tell whether the goods are pure or not. Any one selling adulterated food without first telling the purchaser—in case it is not in packages—i- liable to a fine and imprisonment. That is the reason that some of the mail order houses have quit the grocery business, the stuff that they carry in stock being the cheapest grade procurable.
