Jasper County Democrat, Volume 13, Number 17, Rensselaer, Jasper County, 4 June 1910 — CARLOAD OF PINEAPPLES. [ARTICLE]

CARLOAD OF PINEAPPLES.

Home Grocery Ships In a Load Direct From the Isle of Cuba. Shipping in pineapples by the car load direct from Cuba is something'unusual in towns five times as large as Rensselaer, yet the Home Grocery here has ordered a carload and expects to have them here on sale to-day. In buying a carload at once they can retail at a profit for the price they otherwise would have to pay forfhem at ( wholesale, owing" to the great saving in freight, and they propose to give their customers the benefit of this saving. Owing to the failure of the fruit crop the demand for foreign fruits, such as pineapples, etc., is bound to be great, and the economical housewife will lay in a supply of fruit for canning for next winter now when it can be had so cheap.
