The Poor Man's Butter Sales Cut
The decline in oleomargarine production follows a law requiring plain package markings and a ten cent per pound tax on imitations. Ten months to April 30 show 64 million pounds sold versus 99 million the prior year, a drop of over 74 million pounds, with only about 62 million pounds taxed. Government officials say many will avoid substitutes when they can clearly see what they buy, and production fell sharply after the law took effect.
