about the millionaire level

number of these are just OH the line

millionaires. Incomes of between

what has become OF the old fashioned
apple, the ripe, juicy fruit that has been
the subject of.song and story for so many
decades? Is it passing away, no more to
return? Is it to be numbered with the
things that were, or are the orchards
merely taking a rest and the trees in a
Quiescent state?
These inquiries are prompted by talk
with a fruit dealer in lower Walnut
street, who used to handle apples by the
orchard but who now says he cannot
buy good ones by the barrel. He believes
that the apple Of the cider and doughnut
days is extinct and that the newer fruit
is not equal to the old in flavor, Keeping
