As announced last week, our license for buying eggs expires on Saturday,
June 10th, next. As there seems to be no feasible way for us to take the necessary
steps in order to comply with government regulations, we must say, with regret,
“No eggs bought after June 10th.” Otherwise, “business as usual.”
We will have a steady supply of graded eggs for retail trade,

Mr, Henry Eilber was appointed

until 1934 when his son took it oyer.
The latter has been treasurer, with
