them were adulterated or misbranded; 53 of them were misrepresented 

 by the dealers, that is sold for what they were not, and that the sale of 

 69 of them was illegal either because the product was adulterated or mis- 

 branded, or was misrepresented by the dealer or both. In many cases 

 manufacturers and jobbers sell retail dealers vinegar without further 

 specifying the kind of vinegar. To protect themselves against the 

 N"ational Food Law they brand it distilled vinegar, compound vinegar, 

 etc., as the case may be. The dealer receives the goods without specially 

 noticing the label, thinking that he has vinegar, and proceeds to sell it 

 as such. On the other hand, it appears that often when substitutes for 

 vinegar are sold, invoiced, and labeled just what they are, the dealer im- 

 poses on his customers by selling them these products as vinegar. To 

 just what extent the dealers are deceived in regard to the product they 

 handle it is difficult to say, but one thing is true, to be sure : much of the 

 so-called vinegar on the market is invoiced and branded just what it 

 actually is, but is sold by the retail dealer as vinegar, which it is not.
