It's the Flavor that Makes
TROPIKO Grapefruit Different
You are attracted to TROPIKO Grapefruit when you
first pick it up because it is so heavy. But it is not
until you. cut it open and taste it that you learn the
big reason for its superiority.
to;
GRAPEFRUIT
"Juieittt Fruit in the World"
TROPIKO Grapefruit has 2Z?o more juice than other Grapefruit and
such juice! You dip up spoonful after spoonful and each taste adds
to the joy of your meal. Or you serve the juice of TROPIKO Grapefruit
in classes and have an appetite-compelling drink of pure dcilciousness.
To insure the uniform superiority r! this fruit, the Porto Rico Fruit
Exchange selects the finest fruit from the groves of its members and
gives to it the name TROPIKO. Every grapefruit bearing this brand
has been through this careful process of selection.
TROPIKO Grapefruit is worth trying. Ask your dealer for it. He bat
it or can get it from us.
