Oleomargarine Fight Expands to City Grocers
About 150 grocers and bakers are summoned by Deputy Kracke of the State Agricultural Department to answer charges in municipal courts for selling oleomargarine or butterine. Defendants, backed by manufacturers, contest the law, arguing buyers know they are getting imitation butter. The department says any semblance to real butter in taste color or odor violates the law, while advocates say oleomargine is a wholesome product and should be sold.
