Federal Board Bans Guaranty Legend After May First
A federal food inspection decision bars the legend guaranteed under the food and drugs act and any serial numbers on food and drug packaging after May 1 1915. Manufacturers must then issue guarantees directly to dealers and include them in invoices. The board finds the legends misleading by implying government examination and approval.
