There is lots of difference in the kinds of prunes you get though. If you want to get real nice prunes you must go to a grocery that carries good prunes and other fruits. Pruues are nice and healthy too. They make a good economical breakfast fruit, because you can get a whole pound for 10 cts. Your friend, Jacob. P. S.
