  were 
  examined 
  in 
  the 
  bands 
  of 
  producers 
  and 
  dealers, 
  and 
  at 
  

   freight-bouses 
  awaiting 
  shipment. 
  It 
  was 
  found 
  that 
  there 
  was 
  

   a 
  general 
  inclination 
  on 
  the 
  part 
  of 
  the 
  shippers 
  and 
  representa- 
  

   tives 
  of 
  the 
  express 
  companies 
  to 
  assist 
  the 
  Department 
  in 
  this 
  

   work, 
  and 
  not 
  a 
  single 
  instance 
  was 
  discovered 
  in 
  which 
  prosecu- 
  

   tion 
  would 
  have 
  been 
  justified. 
  

  

  There 
  are 
  numerous 
  vinegar 
  factories 
  in 
  this 
  division, 
  the 
  proc- 
  

   esses 
  and 
  products 
  of 
  which 
  are 
  constantly 
  under 
  the 
  supervision 
  

   of 
  the 
  Department. 
  Frequent 
  examinations 
  are 
  made 
  at 
  the 
  fac- 
  

   tories 
  and 
  at 
  freight-bouses, 
  as 
  well 
  as 
  in 
  groceries 
  where 
  vinegar 
  

   is 
  sold 
  at 
  retail. 
  The 
  product 
  of 
  the 
  factories 
  is 
  generally 
  of 
  a 
  

   high 
  class, 
  but 
  in 
  a 
  few 
  cases 
  samples 
  have 
  been 
  found 
  on 
  sale 
  by 
  

   retailers 
  below 
  the 
  legal 
  standard 
  and 
  prosecutions 
  have 
  been 
  

   instituted. 
  

  

  The 
  agents 
  of 
  the 
  Department 
  assigned 
  by 
  you 
  to 
  work 
  in 
  this 
  

   division

  performed 
  their 
  duties 
  intelligently 
  and
