Only Is and so Cent Purchases to
One Customer is Rule Governing
Local Firms,

Practically every grocery store in
East Grand Forks has been seriously
affected by the shortage of sugar and
the supply is only expected to last for
a few days.
Yesterday only one dollars worth
of sugar would be sold to one GUS
toner and today this was u in two
stores to fifty cents and in another to
twenty-five cents One Of the stores
expects to be entirely out of g
this evening. another by Tuesday of
next week. while one store expects
their supply to last for two or three
weeks as a new shipment was re-

The shortage is expected by several
dealers to last for nearly a month,
owing to the fact that all efforts to
secure orders from Wholesale houses
have been futile and even future or
ders are only accepted at the risk of
the retail dealer.
