Billions Of Bananas.

Americans love bananas. IN 1914
the people of this country con-
sunled the enormous antity OF 49,
GS3,59o punches OF them. Since that
time the U-boats have caused the
supply to fall off considerably.
Allowing 100 to each bunch. which
dealers say is fair average, this
would make a grand total Of 1858
$4,000 bananas that are eaten every
years in the United States.
If all this fruit was divided equally
among the 10o00o.000 population IT
this country it would entitle every
man. woman and child to a fraction
more than forty-eisht bananas
apiece. If YOU have not been getting
that many. you can put it down that
some one else is getting portion OF
your share.
