Then, again. many . refailers, reâ€" colving bage weighing less than 80 pounds instead of the 90 required by law, have perpotuated . the evil when selling by the peck or gallon. nstead of selling 15 pounds to the Tu® 0o PoUND PoTiTto HAG To WE ENPORCEZP E CULLEY &.BREAY, ~HHLP é § ... t Z8 dghn Street North HAMIKTOR,..,, Mtugmmammmulmmumm | _ Gurney Oxford g : Ranges & Heatersl M e on e nane nene ) sane nabe nepe sepesemababerass webxzks»ay, oovenkr: o, son THEAL BROS. you make a good investment.
