Two “five cent” oranges may be exactly the same size,
bat one may be heavier with juice than the other.
Which is the better buy? This example serves to ex-
plain why all our fruits and vegetables are sold by
weight! You pay for exactly what you get—and not
for any “mythical average” of a crate, box, barrel- or
bag. This means greater economy and satisfaction
all around.
