The policy of this house is to buy
both fruit and vegetables on a cash
basis only. We do not handle any-
thing on a consignment basis.
In addition to buying vegetables this
season we are in a position to buy
fruit, having equipped our plant
with the latest and most improved
model of the Skinner Citrus machin-
ery for this purpose.
We invite you to inspect our plant,
and will be pleased to have you call
us at any time.
It is our pleasure to announce that
on Monday, October 22 we will be
open for the second season in Mer-
cedes.
A full medicine chest has turned the
scale when a life was in the balance; it
must never be permitted to “go empty.”
We have a complete stock of drugs and
at very attractive prices.
