cent drop In the buttermart gave
creamerymen post Christmas
headache, and Glen Easton told
about eastern buttah Minneso-
Ia butter Is used almost exclusively
in the east. DIR. Grimm, nationally
known authority from Mass, Is au-
thority for that statement If
you wonder why 40 cent butter here
causes a drop in consumption in the
east, here's the answer. 40 cent
spread here causes those eastern
lads to lay out about So pennies q
pound +. OF that amount 2 cents
is charged to transportation. A
cent to Chicago, another to New
York +. BY the way, both local
creameries have been approved by
DR.. Grimm for eastern marketing
/. Even in hard times people are
careless, but not with their money,
Herb Saeger, the dry cleaning man
says Il. You'd be surprised at the
stuff they find in clothing brought
in to be cleaned. People are trust
ing souls. Rosaries, Bibles, prayer
books headline the list of valua-
bles. Then there are always combs,
safety pins, matches, bottle open
ers, Gig lighters l.. Used to leave
money, but an occasional penny is
the only coin forgotten in soiled
clothing now, they say -. Once in
a while someone really leaves some
thing valuable. Only a few weeks
ago a Swanville man was going
screwy over losing his watch. 1t
was returned with the cleaned suit.
It cost about II bucks a year for
creamerymen to be outfitted in
white overalls, shirts, aprons, and
rubbers and shoes. Another item is
cold preventitives :. . There's little
feeling against buying Jap merch-
andise here, w. D. Gallup said
People here bought it without
qualms, but German goods made
its appearance in greater numbers
this year, with more German-made
toys The anti-Jewish policy of
the Nazis knocked German impor-
tations into this country in the
head, but the Jap invasion of
China has worked out to bring
back German trinkets Uncle
Sam stops not for holidays: Those
kilograms you sent to loved ones
via Western Union on the holidays,
reaped him a cent tax apiece . +.
He relied on sentiment for tidy
little gain Those kilograms took
a long boost locally incidentally,
