Ray had moved to manufacturing margarine by 1941. Margarine was, at the time, subject to strict manufacturing quotas, imposed by the powerful dairy industry in order to protect butter sales. Ray and his father, Will, spent many years struggling to remove these quotas.

PARLIAMENTARY BRIEFS
Council
Margarine Sales.—The Minister of Agriculture told Mr. Halleday(Ind.) that it was correct that certain interstate margarine manufacturers were supplying 15 lb. instead of 12 lb.. as ordered as an inducement to Increase sales. Margarine imports into this State by sea increased from six tons in June to 17 tons in July and 16 tons in August. The amount of margarine allowed to be manufactured in this State was six tons a week. From June to August (13 weeks) M. A. Bell. Ltd., manufactured 69,393 lb.. and R. A. Northcote 18,046 lb.[12][13]

In August 1947, Vidale Products was one of a few companies applying to begin margarine production in Tasmania. [14]
