Christmas Time Is Feasting Time
Our Merry Christmas to our friends lias been in planning for days ahead to se
cure for them the choicest foods to grace their festive tables.
Fancy white celery, crisp California lettuce, rich flavored cranberries, fancy
Xmas candies, assorted nuts, and sweet navel oranges. In fact, nothing has
been overlooked that the good housewife will need to complete the Xmas dinner.
The prices too will be found much lower on many Xmas foods this year and
everyone should be able to eat to their hearts' content, be happy and say "Peace
on Earth, Good Will to Men."
