yN7HY NEGLECT EVAP-
GRATED APPLES?
The green fruit is no longer
satisfactory. You have to peel
it and then cut out the specked
places and thus lose a good
part of what you pay for, or it
will have an unpleasant taste
when cooked. The evaporat-
ed fruit is as cheap, perhaps a
little cheaper. A pound of
evaporated apples goes as far
or very nearly as a half-peck
green apples in the best condi-
ton, and l am selling fancy
evaporatcd apples, free OF
peel, seeds or cores, at eight
cents a pound.
Try a pound or two and
see if | am not right.
D YOU LIKE As'AHA.

If so | have an asparagus
grown adjacent to the factory
where packed. Gathered in
the early morning, placed in
tins and processed within a few
hours Of coming from the field,
thus retaining a sweetness and
delicacy which is peculiar to
the brand l am selling this
