Oleo Factory Seized in Providence by Revenue Agents

A large Providence Dairy Company oleo margarine factory at 237 Eddy Street was seized by Deputy Collector Fred C. Wilson of Hartford and Revenue Agent Samuel F. Culbertson. The firm run by John H. Fehlberg faced charges of shipping unstamped packages for weeks. A peddler named Hendricks removed a sixty pound package, prompting the seizure. The company bonds $6,000 to Collector Hutchinson, facing forfeiture and fines up to $5,000 if convicted. The plant reportedly produced 130,000 pounds of oleo last month. Some unstamped product was labeled Abbedale Creamery. The facility is among the city’s largest.
