To Biipply the local demand for small Christmas boxes of prunes the J. K. Armsby company's plant is packing this week. Although most of the grocers in town handle a Sa lem packed prune, one of the stores, Vassall and Company, has sold only the local pack, and the prune busi ness at that store has been a big item of the Christmas trade. The proprietors conceived the idea of gst tiner the prunes ud in neat little box es and making a flat rate for ship ping them anywhere in the Unite! States. As a result it would appear that nearly half the population of Dallas has sent prunes for Christmas gifts. Among the orders taken for these small packs are some to prac tically every state in the union. If there is a state to which customers haven't consigned prunes Ma-. Vassall and Mr. Viers failed to recall it. The boxes in which the prunes are packed all bear the label of the local packers and the name of the city and county. BRIDGE TRUST IS CHARGED.
