Good morning.
Whitewater’s Wednesday looks to be mostly sunny, with a high temperature of forty-six.
Margarine’s not just a butter (but not better) substitute — it was once a serious crime in America’s Dairyland, as the Wisconsin Historical Society recalls:
1909 – Janesville Man Convicted for Selling Oleo
On this date A.E. Graham of Janesville was put on trial for selling oleo as butter. Oleo, an early form of margarine, was outlawed in the dairy state of Wisconsin. On January 27, 1910, he was found guilty in federal court and sentenced to 18 months in Fort Leavenworth Prison. [Source: Janesville Gazette]
Not just a crime, but a federal one, and time in a federal prison, for A.E. Graham.
