The People of the State of New York v. . Lipman Arensberg

Summary

The Court of Appeals affirmed the conviction for selling oleomargarine that had been artificially colored to resemble butter, holding that the statute prohibiting the manufacture or sale of articles in imitation or semblance of butter is constitutional and that a conviction does not require proof that a particular buyer was deceived, only that the article was an imitation likely to deceive any purchaser.
