On April 23,1943, the United States attorney for the District of Montana filed 
an information against the Northwestern Distributing Co., a corporation, at 
Billings, Mont, alleging shipment on or about June 10 and August 19, 1942, from 
the State of Montana into the State of Wyoming of a quantity of butter that 
was adulterated in that it consisted in whole or in part of a filthy substance, and 
in that it had been prepared under insanitary conditions whereby it might have 
become contaminated with filth. The article was labeled in part: "Sawyer's. 
Fine Quality Butter Manufactured for Sawyer Stores Billings, Montana," or 
"Western King Pasteurized Creamery Butter," "Fancy Creamery Butter."
On May 4,1943, a plea of guilty having been entered on behalf of the defendant, 
the court imposed a fine of $150.
