6. That all oleomargarine shall be packed by the manufacturer thereof
in firkins, tubs, or other wooden packages not before used for that
purpose, each containing not less than ten pounds, and marked,
stamped and branded as the Commissioner of Internal Revenue, with the
approval of the Secretary of the Treasury, shall prescribe; and all
sales made by manufacturers of oleomargarine and wholesale dealers in
oleomargarine shall be in original stamped packages. Retail dealers
in oleomargarine must sell only from original stamped packages, in
quantities not exceeding ten pounds, and shall pack the oleomargarine
sold by them in suitable wooden or paper packages, which shall be
marked and branded as the Commissioner of Internal Revenue with the
approval of the Secretary of the Treasury, shall prescribe. Every
person who knowingly sells or offers for sale, or delivers or offers
to deliver, any oleomargarine in any other form than in new wooden or
paper packages as above described, or who packs in any package any
oleomargarine in any manner contrary to law, or who falsely brands
any package or affixes a stamp on any package denoting a less amount
of tax than that required by law, shall be fined for each offence not
more than one thousand dollars, and be imprisoned not less than six
months nor more than two years.
7. That every manufacturer of oleomargarine shall securely affix,
by pasting, on each package containing oleomargarine manufactured
by him, a label on which shall be printed, besides the number of
the manufactory and the district and State in which it is situated,
these words:--“Notice.--The manufacturer of the oleomargarine herein
contained has complied with all the requirements of law. Every person
is cautioned not to use this package again or the stamp thereon
again nor to remove the contents of this package without destroying
said stamp, under the penalty provided by law in such cases.” Every
manufacturer of oleomargarine who neglects to affix such label to any
package containing oleomargarine made by him, or sold or offered for
sale by or for him, and every person who removes any such label so
affixed from any such package, shall be fined fifty dollars for each
package in respect to which such offence is committed.
8. That upon oleomargarine which shall be manufactured and sold, or
removed for consumption or use, there shall be assessed and collected
a tax of two cents per pound, to be paid by the manufacturer thereof;
and any fractional part of a pound in a package shall be taxed as a
pound. The tax levied by this section shall be represented by coupon
stamps; and the provisions of existing laws governing the engraving,
issue, sale, accountability, effacement and destruction of stamps
relating to tobacco and snuff, as far as applicable, are hereby made
to apply to stamps provided for by this section.
