NEWLY LAID EGGS From Suburban Homes A few days ago, in walking through a suburban part of Portland, we saw many homes with a small number of beautiful, well-kept bens. Feeding over rich, green lawns, they were healthy and vigorous, and we easily im agine how delicious their eggs were. We found that many of these people had more eggs than they needed, so we have ar ranged for them to leave them, in their own sealed and branded egg boxes of one dozen each, at our store, where you can get them fresh and delicious as though you kept the hens yourself. We can arrange to save you a stated number for any day of the week you wish.
