Scope and content
Two men pose with a display of Phenix margarine in a grocery store on December 5, 1951. The margarine is advertised at 23 cents per pound. Four white cubes are packaged with four color wafers in each one-pound box. Legislation had been passed to provide that margarine manufacturers could not pre-color their product to look like butter. Among the larger grocery stores advertising their specials in the News Tribune the week of December 5th, only the Franklin Food Stores had the Phenix brand listed at 23 cents a pound. Ordered by Phoenix-Pabst-Ett Co.
