More Prices Drop
TIE sugar shortage has resulted
in one bright spot for housewives,
at least, with OPA announcing that
canned fancy and choice fruits will
drop about two cents apiece in
their retail listings on the new
1945 pack.
These fruits must be packed in
light syrup rather than heavy or
extra heavy syrups as before, the
agency said, and the result will be
a lower net cost to the buying pub
lie.
Example of the fruits affected
by the change are yellow cling
peachers. Bartlett pears and april
cots.
