ages for the convenience Of the small
dealer. The olives lose part OF the
natural flavor in repacking and to
avoid this the above named Arm has
imported an original cask, which
holds 1S5 gallons and weighs 1900
pounds. The cask Is so large 1t
would hardly enter the doors OF the
store.
Another feature Of interest to the
public is that by purchasing olives
abroad 1t lowers the price twenty
Ave per cent and enables the con-
sumer to buy olives at fifteen cent a
pint, which is about the regular
wholesale price.
