we get hosted oysters. They said that
they could not find q market for oysters
taken direct from salt wstsr. II no othera

ststsd, shrink II shipped without frs
being aoated, When oysters are shipped

bsci use they would not keep go we'll II
they we're. 1t seems to me-" he con-
cluded, "tbat they are making the pub
lie pay for plat OF writer every time
they buy q quart Of oysterp."
