Bananas? Detroit

They'll Be Gone Soon

That little dirty you've been
humming the last few months has
been changed to yes, We Have
SOME Bananas at least for a
couple Of days -- and that fact
makes news.
But better be at the store bright
and early Monday for, although
the shipment that reached Detroit
as a Christmas present is the larg-
est received in more than seven
months, it still is pitifully small as
compared to what was received
before the war.
John Mercurio, partner Of Mer-
curio Bros, one of the largest
dealers in the golden fruit that has
become almost as scarce as gold
nuggets, was buster Saturday than
he has been in many months.
He had Just received five car
loads as compared with the average
of 20 he used TO handle each week
before the war, and store owners
were fairly begging for a share IN
the prize shipment.
Last Wednesday there wasn't
a banana i'm the City" said Mer-
curio. today we have five car
loads and there's no telling when
well get more. So feast while
you may for next week we prob

There are no other federal
