WHAT WILL
HAPPEN TO
CITRUS FRUIT
PRICES .. .
Due to the nature of our indus
try and in answer to some radio
announcements relative to the
citrus fruit situation, we w..nt to
give you the following facts
Before OPA was born, from
the beginning of the Citrus fruit
industry, prices were made ac
cording to crop yields. Supply
and demand, we are sure, will
govern citrus prices according to
the size of fruits.
For example, this year, due to
weather conditions in the orange
producing sections the crop is
running mostly to small sizes.
Small oranges will be plentiful
and you will find them very
moderately priced — and your
best buy for juice. The larger
sizes will be scarce, therefore
higher
There is a variance at this
time up to $5.00 a box fa situa
tion you never found under OPA
pricing when all sizes were sold
at the same price).
In other words, PRICES WILL
INCREASE SOME ON LARGER
SIZES. . . but The LOWER
PRICES ON SMALL SIZE
ORANGES behoov s the thrifty
housewife to purchase the
SMALL ORANGES as they are
more tconomical for juice.
