The Canuinc Season is still in full swing nnd Fruits nrc
plentiful and very cheap. Peaches arc still fine, Pears arc with
us in many kinds. Italian Prunes arc ready now. We can get
you any amount of fine Prunes at 3c per pound. The great
trouble now is to get Fruit Jars iu the various sizes and kinds.
We are preparing to move into our New Store now and
things will be more or less torn up until we get settled for good.
We arc going to move and continue business right along with as
little trouble to our customers as wc possibly can. If you will
kindly overlook a few mistakes and contusions in orders for a
few weeks, we will appreciate it very much. It will be a big task
but will be woith the trouble to all. Business is increasing
fast too as conditions get better over the country and as people
come in from the summer camping and outings and bettlc down
for the winter.
