Jasper County Democrat, Volume 8, Number 15, Rensselaer, Jasper County, 8 July 1905 — CONTRIBUTED. [ARTICLE]

CONTRIBUTED.

A lady wants to say a few words to the grocery merchants, and really it is a delicate subject to handle. You know it is now time that our grocery men set their vegetables outside on the pavement, and you know that there are so many tall dogs in town and it operates as though they drank from the Saratoga Medical Spring. Now, Mr. Editor, you must know what I want to say and if you will help me out you will do the public a great favor. What we want is the vegetables on boxes, or in other words, “above high water mark.” For the good of the women and mankind, the grocers will please attend to it. Those wire screens they use over barrels and baskets are not “water tight.” This is a delicate matter, but you know when a lady goes shopping for cabbage and beets she doesn’t like to get peas also. Please put it in shape so as to offend nobody.
