We're Making
A Strong
Plea
to you not to bank on luck, for the
person who trusts to luck has about
the same chance for success that a
dock-tailed horse has to switch a fly
from the end of his nose. Luck is all
right if you'll add one letter (p) to
it, making "pluck" out of it. Don't
forget that the largest "lemon crop"
in the history of mankind is now
growing in Florida and a lot of peo
ple are staying there because in fail
ing to "clean up" they are unable to
"clean out." You'll not be taking
any chances if you use Jones' Gro
ceries in preparing the table. Their
superior quality add to appetite and
appreciation of proper preparation.
