In Wisconsin, as a bow to dairy interests, oleo was not allowed to be bought or served in
restaurants.
Thus, like any good capitalistic society, Illinois businesses setup oleo depots on their
side of the border
for Wisconsinites to make illegal oleo runs. And the Wisconsin state police would set up
check points to
stop and fine oleo smugglers on the return trip.
Over thirty years ago the state relented on the oleo prohibition and decided to tax oleo
rather than ban it.
The monies raised were to go to the promotion of dairy products.
