 on the barrel was indistinct and could not be read. The samples 

 branded Blue Grass Belle proved to be cider vinegar; the samples 

 branded jMonogTam (blend) proved to be compound vinegar. Samples

When vinegar is sold without naming the class to which it belongs, 

 according to the standards adopted by the Secretary of Agriculture

 fore, when a vinegar is sold under a brand name it should state the 

 class to which it belongs; otherwise, it will be, according to the 

 standards, presumed to be an apple cider vinegar; then, in case it is 

 not an apple vinegar, it will be classed as misbranded.
