peanut. Other false labels are easily de-
tected for geographic reasons, such as a
sherry made In Greece or a cognac made
in Hamburg. Cognac as a name should
be applied TO brandies produced in GER
tain districts in France only, and sher-
ries to a certain kind of wine produced
only in Spain. We hold that any de-
parture from this. even in similar goods
made in other countries, is mislabeling
Since, however. there is no attempt
made on the part of importers to de-
ceive In this matter we have contented
ourselves so far by warning them to
cease the practice instead OF adopting
any drastic measures.
ut is generally admitted by importers
that large quantities of misbranded
wines. brandies and whisky come to this
country. L am not prepared to go so
far as some exporters and say that
practically no genuinely branded wines
come here, since this is an exaggera-
ton. But 1 do agree that there is a
woefully prevalent freedom with labels
This is shown by the statement of a
French expert, a. II. Harrebouldt, who
says: Although / was astonished at the
report of DR.. Wiley. / must confess that
he is not entirely wrong. In the town OF
Cognac there are about thirty first
class distllers. but l see goods here
from 100 French firms labeled Cognac.
when there are not a few firms whose
names you could not find in Cognac or
even in a directory Of France.
Value to Importers.
THE strongest support OF the law will
eventually come. it is believed, from the
importers themselves. who will find in
Il measure of protection against i'm
position. The consumer will be benefited
no less by being relieved from the dan
ger OF getting spurious and adulterated
articles instead of those for which he
asks.
AT present many invoices suspected
of being subject to the law are not re-
jected because proof is not strong
enough to warrant their exclusion with
out further examination. That is now
being made, and when samples Of similar
goods are offered in the future. full and
convincing data for exclusion Will be
forthcoming. The slow but sure course
is regarded best from every standpoint
