HERE'S ONE from the Mission
Wimes:
Popularity OF fruit juice drinks
appears to be sweeping the country.
Vernon Hill returned last week from
Chicago snd said that everywhere he
found orange and grapefruit drinks
being served over the counters.
They serve grapefruit drinks now
from fountains in syrup form, and
IL seems to make an ideal mixer.
People ere using 1t where they FORM
erly used ginger ale.
THE. question Is being asked.
when IL the Valley going 70 get into
this new business and bring new
capital and industry to the section?"
This is o question In Cur Valley
has been asking with great regular
ity for the past several months.
Grapefruit juice is becoming one
nf the most popular beverages OF
the country. The demand for IL far
exceeds the supply, according to re-
ports.
This offers a splendid outlet for
culls--it means larger profits from
each crop.
Somebody Is going 10 make good
thing OF bottled grapefruit juice In
valley.
THE MUCHLY advertised and
worfhily So climate Of Miami,
FLORIDA. Is no more pleasant than
fhat Of Brownsville. in the Lower
Rio Grande Valley Of Texas. II
rhamher Of scommerce literature
from the Florida city Is correct.
About the only difference Is that
Miami averages a few degrees hot
fer for the entire year and lacks
variety. which Il has truly been
eeid 10 be ''the spice Of life."
