The Key West Citizen Newspaper, August 19, 1954, Page 3

SUE JONES, Editor Thursday, August 19, 1954 THE KEY WEST CITIZEN Was greatly amused at some of the slang which was overheard on the train—everything was “real live—breathing, walking arid talk- ing” and believe me, these adjec- tives—were used profusely and in- discriminately to describe every- thing in sight—places, people, food, etc. which met with high approval. And so it was that these words crossed my mind, when people ex- press amazement that yours truly finds many things of which to write. Of course—it is just that— and here I quote the phrase which is so completely applicable to Our Town—“Where the unexpected hap- pens with monotonous regularity’’. Consequently, there are a mul- titude of things—past and present —and people to tell you of—and let’s not forget my beloved shops— £2225 52 Do you know what a Chinese Cabbage is? It’s a form of let- tuce, no less and just one of the many fabulous produce items found at the Overseas Fruit Mar- ket, 934 Truman Avenue. You really shouldn’t miss this vast, unique and amazing selection and variety of fruits and vege- tables, and the approach to sell- ing these things that is really wonderful and different! F and his swell family are ible for the marvelous fun and casualness of shopping here. Granted you'll find choice fruits and vegetables, you might not have ever even seen—but you'll find more than that. First off—always try fo have a glass of icy cold FRESH or. juice or grapefruit jvice—then just wonder around and look. Take home some of our famous KEY LIMES — TEN CENTS A DOZEN—and once you try them, Vil} clue you—lemons and per- sian limes wil take place and show in your esteem. Chat with that grand Frank— ask him how the romaine, the chicory, the escarole, the water- cress are today — and y‘know what? He’ll say, “Yes — it’s marketing mommas ‘and poppas —to all the very fine things which are found on the shelves and, don’t pass that meat coun- ter by—‘cause they carry choice grade at a price which will sur- prise you! All the groceries you need—plus good friends—at Bill's Supermarket! = = -_ =e My Red Shawl tells me_ that Jack Rosen will leave for Fair- mont, North Carolina to join his wife, Mary—boy, Mike and also— he says—‘‘that baby girl which will arrive next month”, (These predicting poppas!). However, betcha that when they all return — the infant will be red- headed! Also—here’s wishing them the best and a hope that this time Jack gets a long corridor to pace instead of the staircase to run up and down—which activity went on while Mike was making his en- trance. Sf =e Have you seen all the new and beautiful interior decorating and the lovely frocks which are now at Herman’s Shop, 512 Duval Street? The elegance and atmesphere of a fashionable salon is now yours at Herman’s, However, don’t forget that fer many years, this shop has made pleasing cus- tomers and appreciating their patronage a point of high im- Portance. And so, this policy re- mains unchanged. Herman’s, in addition te the personal interest shown and the desire to please you, will also continue to be fashion conscious and here you may find the: very latest styles — that something, which is brand new and a bit different—anything from steck- ings to otherwise, and is known as “high fashion”. (Dunne about “Dior”) And too, don‘t forget that everyone is invited te enjoy the luxury and beauty of the new decor of Herman’s. You'll aiso find many of those moderately pretty fine’ — or, “Could. you wait ‘till tomorrow—getting some in fresh, or if you can’t we'll pick out the very best we havel” Now—you all must admit this is a fine and refreshing attitude. But Frank is such a swell per- son—and because he told me that now is the time for good honey- dews—thought I‘d just pass the information along to you — Also, there are plums, pears and cher- ries galore—at Overseas Fruit Market, 934 Trum: z= S22 WELCOME TO: illard Miller who is visiting Eddie and Edna at their new home on Sunrise Drive. Bet Eddie sent an “SOS” to Philadelphia for help on that sea wall he’s building. Whether Eddie} succeeds in putting him to work or no—sure hope he enjoys his stay in—Our Town. z Whether you snack or a regular dinner—the Banana Tree G 523 Truman is a quaint little enjoys the reputation of serving really good food! Also, their speciasties include honest-to-goodness homemade soup and pie the like of which gives you a new slant on this di rt. Just ask for their Choco- late or Strawberry ice cream pie after—say one of their fine fresh tropical fruit salads. And then—for all you people from out of town—be sure and notice the different species of banana tree and the crotons and all the other lush foliage—grow- ing around — the Banana Tree Grille! z= My Red Shawl tells me that Hank Goldman who is stationed on} the Archerfish had quite a trip to| arrive for the birth of—Henry Al-| bert Goldman, Jr. who moved the scales to—7 lbs. 10% oz.

Also, was real shook when I saw the tremendous blow- fish Tom Whittley was carrying around at the Beach. Golly, they are sure unsightly critters, with those white things sticking out all over it — even porcupines are prettier. The lads including Fito Lastres and the Youmans house guest, Red Turgleson really caused a sensa- tion with their “catches” and after much comment and picture taking —they left for more of the same sport in Bob’s boat which he is going to name the ‘“Terry-Seot” after his children. z= = =e Home Appliance Co., 605 Sim onton Street carry only the rep- utable brands of small electrical appliances and to mention a few —Osterizer, Mixmaster, Sun- beam, Hamilton Beach, etc. To continue with the Westing- house Roaster—this is an espe- cially good buy — it is portable (perfect for picnics) in which te tote food and keep it warm)— it cooks complete meals—seeing this will mean a lot and buying it for yourself—will be swell. HOME APPLIANCE for this SPECIAL at $34.95 (plus tax) instead of the usual $44.95. Home Appliance, is indeed the “home” of all these grand, time- saving, easily-operated small ap- pliances, and that includes tric corn-poppers, toastm. blendors, coffeemasters, pans, mixmasters, “frytexs’” all the small items which because of their super-efficiency and con- venience will help many a house- wife not to shed a tear of frus- tration and fatigue. == rs, = .
