Pure Olive Oil.
"Nine dealers out OF ten don't know
what real choice olive oil is" said the
buyer of large importing house, land
it is not very strange, either, since but
little of it is sent to our market"
"Can it be bought from any first class
grocer" he was asked.
"No, indeed. Olive oil can be bought
tut not the finest grades. If you had

believe what 1 have just said when you
dressed your salad with the other. Oil
of the finest quality has faint, sgreea-

"Why don't we get more of this oil?
The best of everything else usually

it begins to color. It is spread under
sheds, where it is allowed to remain, I'M

The ripe olive is of dark, purple color,

that have just spoken of. So you can
see why the two oils should be of differ

the oil will give you good idea of the
grades.

mill and then placed in sacks of loosely
woven cloth. These sacks are piled one
upon another and are submitted to pres
