the Chicago men at a price between

W. L. Norton, who was born in Mississippi
and is thirty years old, has been in the grocery
bwiness since 1920, having gotten his start
with McCarty-Holman Company of Jack son,
Mississippi, with whom he served until he ac

Grapefruit" in the fall of 1928. On the opening
of the Valley’s fourth Jitney Jungle in Browns

He is married and is a member of the
church of his choice.
Norton is proud of the fact thtv he is a

here to stay.
