Funeral of Desire Chartier Held
Thursday.
. A glance at the big, plump, richly colored fruit makes you want it. You see how large and rich it looks, and you can just
imagine how it would taste how you would enjoy tasting the sweet "liquid sunshine" stored in its pulp by the balmy sun of Florida
Florida Citrus Exchange oranges and grapefruit are as good as they look. They are the finest selection of Florida fruit.
They are heavier than ordinary fruits; sweeter, because they are left on the trees until they are ripe; and juicier, because only
tree-ripened fruit can be really rich and juicy. Don't let any person persuade you to buy inferior oranges and grapefruit get the best.
