  OLEOMARGAKIXE. 
  

  

  Xo 
  oleomargarine 
  has 
  been 
  fonnd 
  in 
  this 
  division 
  except 
  near 
  

   the 
  lower 
  borders 
  adjoinina: 
  Greater 
  New 
  York, 
  and 
  there 
  in 
  but 
  

   few 
  cases. 
  Upon 
  May 
  fifth 
  we 
  were 
  successful 
  in 
  arresting 
  

   George 
  AV. 
  Mulligan, 
  of 
  Kings 
  Bridge, 
  X. 
  Y., 
  an 
  agent, 
  while 
  in 
  

   the 
  act 
  of 
  making 
  a 
  delivery 
  of 
  oleomargarine 
  in 
  one 
  of 
  the 
  stores 
  

   of 
  Yonkers. 
  He 
  was 
  arraigned 
  before 
  City 
  Judge 
  Kellogg, 
  

   pleaded 
  guilty, 
  and 
  was 
  fined 
  $50. 
  This 
  is 
  the 
  first 
  offense 
  of 
  an 
  

   oleomargarine 
  agent 
  which 
  has 
  been 
  made 
  in 
  this 
  division, 
  and, 
  

   I 
  consider, 
  has 
  done 
  much 
  tow^ard 
  breaking 
  up 
  the 
  sale 
  of 
  this 
  pro- 
  

   hibited 
  article, 
  as 
  the 
  case 
  was 
  thoroughly 
  reported 
  throughout 
  

   the 
  local 
  press. 
  

  

  EEXOVATED 
  BUTTER. 
  

  

  The 
  high 
  price 
  and 
  scarcity 
  of 
  butter 
  has 
  led 
  to 
  the 
  develop- 
  

   ment 
  of 
  immense 
  sales 
  of 
  " 
  Renovated 
  Butter," 
  which, 
  however, 
  

   we 
  find 
  is 
  being 
  sold 
  under 
  the 
  regulations 
  of 
  the 
  law, 
  all 
  tubs 
  

   and 
  original 
  packages 
  being 
  plainly 
  marked 
  as 
  such. 
  From 
  per- 
  

   sonal 
  observation 
  of 
  its 
  sale, 
  I 
  would 
  respectfully 
  suggest 
  that 
  

   the 
  law 
  relative 
  to 
  the 
  same 
  should 
  be 
  so 
  amended 
  as 
  to 
  require 
  

   all 
  renovated 
  butter 
  sold 
  at 
  retail 
  to 
  be 
  enclosed 
  in 
  a 
  wrapper 
  

   bearing 
  the 
  printed 
  words 
  in 
  black 
  ink 
  in 
  a 
  conspicuous 
  place 
  — 
  

   " 
  Renovated 
  Butter." 
  

  

  To-day 
  but 
  few 
  purchasers 
  of 
  butter 
  in 
  retail 
  quantities 
  in- 
  

   spect 
  the 
  tub 
  from 
  w^hich 
  it 
  is 
  taken, 
  and 
  have 
  no 
  knowledge 
  of 
  

   the 
  fact 
  that 
  they 
  are 
  probably 
  getting 
  the 
  renovated 
  article, 
  *as 
  

   the 
  law 
  does 
  not 
  require 
  the 
  vendor 
  to 
  so 
  proclaim 
  it^ 
  The 
  regu- 
  

   lar 
  trade 
  in 
  honest 
  butter 
  is 
  now 
  being 
  injured 
  by 
  this 
  counter- 
  

   feit, 
  and 
  the 
  consumer 
  is 
  being 
  imposed 
  upon.
