Dear Friend:
Prunes, when you stew
them are a mighty nice
thing to begin breakfast
with. Don't you think so?
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. All kinds of
(dried fruits, the best to
be had, at
Ferguson's
Also Cabbage for making
kraut, and we have
fresh fish and Norfolk
Oysters every day.
