pay up, their names will be placed
on the black list, and they will be
unable to purchase goods from any
other members of the association.

TURKEYS NOT
VERY COSTLY

Turkeys are rather plentiful in this
city this year and as the price is rea-
sonable it looks as if almost every fam
lily in the city would be able TO enjoy a
great repast tomorrow.
Most of the birds this season are
plump and fat and the prices range as
low as 19 cents a pound for western
turkeys to IS cents a pound for New
Jersey birds
In conversation with a NEWS report
er local butchers said'tha they already
had many orders AHEAD and that they
expected to be kept on the go nearly
all night delivering them.
Until few weeks ago it was almost
next to impossible to purchase turkey
for less than 25 cents a pound and
these We're all cold storage birds but
the first of this week TIE western and
New Jersey birds began to come in and
then the price took a downward course.
Both ducks and chickens are plentiful
and the price is not too high. Most OF
these at the local shops are excellent
and dealers say that they are selling
rapidly.
