Scott #1080, MNH, OG, 3 cent Harvey Wiley.

Very well centered stamp, Excellent condition.

Ever wonder how a chemist gets on a stamp, well here is a bit of interesting information on Mr. Wiley.
In the 1880s, when Wiley began his 50-year crusade for pure foods, America's marketplace was flooded with poor, often harmful products. With almost no government controls, unscrupulous manufacturers tampered with products, substituting cheap ingredients for those represented on labels: Honey was diluted with glucose syrup; olive oil was made with cottonseed; and "soothing syrups" given to babies were laced with morphine. The country was ready for reform … and for Wiley.

Pretty cool, amazing stuff!
