Kashrus in America before the 1950s was in general in a sad state 
even for those who wanted to keep kosher properly.  For example,  I 
recall reading that something like 30% of the meat sold   in NY as 
kosher was actually  treif. People ate all sorts of candy based on 
looking at the ingredients listed on the label.

It was actually the advent of the OU that led to having proper 
kashrus standards..
