462 OLEOMARGARINE. 



This package was bought at a place which was originally known as 

 the Ohio Butter Company, but later as the Metropolitan Market, No. 

 44 Fifth avenue, an illustration of the sign of which you will find on 

 page 3 of tbis pamphlet, at the bottom the Ohio Butter Company. 

 Those are all photographs which I made myself. 



Here is a package from William Broadwell's place. 



Now, I would like, Senator, to have you open that, if you will, and 

 just look at the package. 



(Senator Allen then opened the package.) 



Mr. JELKE. Is the price on each package? 



Mr. KNIGHT. Yes, sir; every package is plainly marked. Senator 

 Heitfeld, here is one from the same place, and Senator Dolli ver, here is 

 another one from the same place. 



Senator DOLLIVER. What place is that? 



Mr. KNIGHT. William BroadwelPs place. 



Senator DOLLIVER. You seem to have patronized him very exten- 

 sively. 



Mr. KNIGHT. Yes, sir; and I will show you why in a minute. Have 

 you found the mark " Oleomargarine" on it, Senator? 



Senator ALLEN. No, I have not. 



Mr. KNIGHT. That is the puzzle. Find the mark. If you will open 

 it this way [indicating], and get around there, I think you will find 

 something of the mark. 



Now I want to read from a pamphlet issued by William Moxley, of 

 the city of Chicago : 



Facts about butterine. Compiled and published by William J. Moxley, for the use 

 of the general public. 



He says on page 6 : 



Before the Senatorial committee, previously mentioned, a Mr. William Broadwell, 

 one of the largest dealers in high-grade butterine, spoke of millionaires and men with 

 silk hats being his most numerous customers, in fact, forming in line to get a pail of 

 William J. Moxley's butterine. His remarks caused considerable laughter among 

 the audience, but created consternation in the ranks of producers of creamery butter, 

 who realized the impossibility of successful contradiction. 



I will show you the front of Mr. BroadwelPs store as it was photo- 

 graphed, in that corner down there where he sells Mr. Moxley's high- 

 grade butterine one of the largest dealers in the city of Chicago. That 

 is his sign [indicating]. I photographed that in September myself. It 

 stood there for two or three years until I photographed it, and when he 

 found we had used it, that part of the sign was torn down, and these 

 are the remains. 



Mr. ADAMS. Is that the store where the gentlemen in silk hats go to 

 ask for butterine ? 



Mr. KNIGHT. Yes, that is the one. 



Mr. JELKE. Have you any photographic views of Siegel, Cooper & 

 Co.'s, or Kothchild's, or any of the leading merchants of Chicago? 



Mr. KNIGHT. I will not answer any questions now, Mr. Jelke; I am 

 busy. I have got this thing on hand, and I have waited a good while. 



Now, I want to read you an extract from the report of the assistant 

 food commissioners to convince you what kind of business Mr. Broad- 

 well is doing with Mr. Moxley's butterine: 



The other case is No. 27, that of William Broadwell, where the defendant and his 

 witnesses swore that they sold nothing but oleomargarine, and that they had a sign 

 behind the counter, " No pure butter sold here; only oleomargarine;" that they always 

 informed those asking for butter that they had only oleomargarine, and they had no 

 signs reading " creamery butter;" that the stamp was always on the outside of the 

 package when handed to customers, and that for seven years they had always wrapped 

 it in that manner.
