Get Up And Go With Fresh Grapefruit
Throughout the year and throughout the
day, grapefruit is a most refreshing and ver
satile fruit. Fresh grapefruit offers light, de
lightful eating for meals or snacks, for young
or old. Weight watchers look to fresh grape
fruit as a treat and not a treatment. One half
medium grapefruit contains only 44 calories.
When counting calories, it’s important to make
each calorie count. One half grapefruit con
tains an excellent supply of vitamin C as well
as a valuable combination of other important
nutrients . . . including calcium, phosphorus
and magnesium.
You and your family are really missing
much if you serve fresh grapefruit for break-
fast only. When abided to canned fruits, for
salads ’or desserts they add a section grapefruit pver a bowl to
fresher than fresh flavor to all reserve the juleps, often psed as
the other fruits. Grapefruit-sec- an important ingredient of the

Dear Long and Bomberger;
I want to go mountain climbing but am afraid of heights.
Can you help me?
Dear Shaky;
Lots of people feel uncomfortable u hen only a few feet
above the ground. That’s why we stock only good, firm ladders
for climbing. They range from 2 ft. step ladders on up to 32 ft.
extension ladders, in wood or aluminum. Maybe you should buy
one each in our entire line and practice for awhile.
