Now knowing what oleo is, a type or brand name of margarine, would anyone know if it is salted or unsalted?

Oleo just means oil. Oleomargarine is hydrogenated oil, can be salted or sodium free.
Stick with butter. Salted for the table, unsalted for cooking.

Oleo is margarine, a substitute for butter as a spread for bread or in cooking and baking. It is made from vegetable oils. I remember years ago back in the 30's it was all white when it was sold in my state. If you really wanted it to look like butter it came with a little capsule of food coloring that you broke and stirred the contents into it. A few years later it came in plastic like bag and the color capsule was inside with it. You would squeeze the cap to break it and then squish it around in the bag til it was yellow. You would the cut the corner off the bag and squeeze the colored margarine- Oleo- out into a dish or a mold. It had a good flavor and was much more economical than regular butter. Us kids thought it was great fun to get to mix it.
It was salted.

I can only give you an "educated guess" as an answer to your 2nd question. Oleo was a margarine(or butter substitute) back in the 50s. I would have to say it was salted because we didn't give a whole lot of thought into "healthy foods" in the 50s. Hope this helps.

The noun oleomargarine has one meaning:
Meaning #1: a spread made chiefly from vegetable oils and used as a substitute for butter
Synonyms: margarine, margarin, oleo, marge
Oleo is just short for oleomargarine -- and it would very likely be salted. It is not a brand.

All fruits are fruit and vegetables. A "vegetable" is a plant, any part of which is employed for food.

In the superstore, fruits are usually chosen much too soon. Some are rocks, many are wrong. Some of the fresh vegetables are generally right (zucchini, onions, garlic, lettuce, greens, and a few others) so I'd have to go with vegetables.

Oleo is the shortened word for oleomargarine and it stands for the margarine we all know. Oleo was the original term many years ago.

salted margarine... lol.. funny.. my grandmother used to use the term "oleo" as a food name rather than a brand name,, like coke for any soft drink, or kleenex for any facial tissue... She'd be baking and ask me to run to the store for more Oleo... .. I thought that was a thing of the past.. I havent heard of Oleo in years..

I think it's just an antiquated word for margarine.
