PRODUCE MAN MAKES GOOD
The big, friendly staff at Piggly
Wiggly’s Supermarket is mighty
proud this week of one of their
members, Dugan Jones, produce
manager, the young man with the
“green thumb.”
Seems like Jones recided to pho
tograph a recent display he had
made up of Snoboy Indian Run
grapefruit and send it to the an
nual competition held in New York.
What happened? His photograph
of his original Snoboy Indian Run
grapefruit won second p'uze in the
huge national event! First prize
winner was awarded an all-expense
paid, three week vacation in Flori
da. Anyway, he was given a solid
gold wrist watch, and it's a beauty,
too.
In part, Jones' local display por
trayed a Pan-Am jet landing at
Fairbanks with a load of the fa
mous grapefruit and alongside,
awaiting a load, an Alaskan sleH
and dogteam. The caption was titled
‘‘From Florida to Fairbanks.”
Bob Decker, genial general man
ager of the big store, remarked,
“I always knew that lad would
make good.”
