any   of  the  articles  of  which  the  same  is  composed.  No  person

made from pure milk or cream from the same, designed to take  the  place
of  butter, shall make or sell the same under any brand, device or label
bearing words indicative of cows or the product  of  the  dairy  or  the
names of breeds of cows or cattle, nor use terms indicative of processes
in  the dairy in making or preparing butter; no oleaginous substance not
made from pure milk or cream from the same, designed to take  the  place

association with the sale or exposure for sale, advertisement, or on the
package, of any substance designed  to  be  used  as  a  substitute  for
butter,  represent  or suggest by any means whatever that such substance
is a dairy product, except that nothing herein contained  shall  prevent
an  accurate  statement  of  any  of  the  ingredients contained in such
substance.
