Cleo Margarine.

Wo are informed that large con-
signment of patent butter, sometimes
called oleo margarine, has been received
in this city. The stuff, which is said to
resemble in color the very fines: grades
of Western Reserve butter, cannot be de.
tec,ed except by tasting it. For several
years past an article called by the above
name has been manufactured in New
York and other Eastern cities, and wide
discussions have taken place in the ps
pers in regard to the healthiness or un-
healthiness of the product. 1t is hardly
to be supposed that a composition of tai
low and other substsuc es chemically pre-
pared can be as desirable for table use as
the genuine old fashioned butter.
