Heavy Fine Violator
of the Food Laws.
Atlanta, July 2. —Illustrative
of the firm hand with which food
violators are now being handled
is the following report just re
ceived by Dr. Andrew M. Soule,
federal food administrator:
The J. Kulla Co., flour dealers,
2 Stone St., New York City, has
been given the alternative of
paying $25,000 to the Red Cross
or going out of business entirely
for violations of the United States
Food Administration rules. The
company has not indicated
whether it will pay the money or
take file other alternative.
After a full investigation it was
established that this firm was
guilty of selling flour and substi
tutes at excessive margins of
profit and making sales of flour
without proportionate sales of
substitutes. The investigation
disclosed that in one month over
three-fourth’s of the company’s
transactions showed an excessive
profit and that the preceding
months were approximately as
bad. It was established also that
in a large number of cases the
firm had paid no attention to the
rule requiring the sale of substi
tutes with flour.
