Saturday the entire stock of Towle's
Log Cabin maple syrup, which has
been tied up in .this territory pend
ing investigation and decision of the
State Dairy and Food Commission,
was released and now wholesalers and
dealers are offering tho syrup to tha
trade. .. . :- ':-v:?;-..;;: ;r-';-
For some reason the'! commission
suspected that the Towle product was
misbranded and believed tl at it would
riot hild up true to its label. Imme
diately resting upon the power.'yest
ed in it the commission issued an or
der that no Towle's goods be sold
in the La Grande territory. For two.1
weeks the investigation proceeded
nd now the goods are released for
sale to the public, which would indi
cate the commission got off on the
wrong foot in the matter.
Had the goods been found unture
to name, and had the label stating the
syrup contains 60 per cent -of pure!
mf.ple and 60 per cent of cane syrup I
covered goods which did not contain j
these proportions it is very likely the
commission would not have released,':
the large quitity of the syrup now
on hand for sale. - , .:
One of the wholesale houses in La '
Grande had on hand , about $1500
V'orth of this syrup.
