Patronize your local merchant and mention you saw bis advertisement in The Progress. $2.30 12 oz. $1 .20 0GS5 All lemons are juicy. But some are quite a bit juicier than others. Some have thick skins and much pulp.

Others have thin skins, and more juice! But in most stores ALL lemons in a binful sell at the SAME price simply "so much a dozen." That's fine IF you always happen to pick out twelve of the juiciest lemons in the bin. But frankly, can you do that every time? Why not buy your lemons like you buy tomatoes or grapes by the pound! You can buy lemons by the pound today, at your Safeway. Since juice weighs heavy and skin and pulp are very light you get exact, FULL VALUE in juice every purchase. Every produce item Safeway sells is now priced by the pound. You get the benefits of this Full Value plan on every purchase.

Many prominent women tell us they would like every store In town to price all fruits and vegetables by weight. Then you could get just the amount you want, just the sizes you tike, and full Value for your money every time. Wherever you trade, don't you ask your store man about it?.
