Text (OCR of the scan; may contain errors)

Blum, individually and as officers of said corporation, and respondents’ agents, representatives and employees, directly or through any corporate or other device, in connection with the offering for sale, sale and distribution of imported merchandise in commerce, as “commerce” is defined in the Federal Trade Commission Act, do forthwith cease and desist from:

1. Offering for sale, selling or distributing said products without affirmatively and clearly disclosing in a conspicuous place on the products themselves the country of origin thereof.

2. Offering for sale, selling or distributing said products in containers or with attachments in a manner which causes the mark on the products identifying the country of origin to be hidden or obscured without clearly disclosing the country of origin of the products in a conspicuous place on the container or attachment. Provided, however, that in those instances where (a) two or more products imported from two or more foreign countries or places are packaged together in the same container, where (b) the imported articles themselves are clearly and conspicuously marked with the country of origin, and where (c) the container is unsealed and the articles may be readily removed therefrom for examination by a prospective purchaser prior to purchase, the disclosure, in a conspicuous place on the container, that all or a portion of the contents of such package are imported and that the country or place of origin of foreign made products is set forth on each product, shall constitute compliance with the terms of this order.

It is further ordered, That respondents, Oxwall Tool Company, Ltd., Max J. Blum and Sidney Blum, shall, within sixty (60) days after service upon them of this order, file with the Commission a report in writing setting forth in detail the manner and form in which they have complied with the order to cease and desist as modified.
