EGGS 01 THE EMEU. Nothing attracts greater attention in the egg line than 

 the large dark green, neai'ly black pebbled egg with a lighter ground color of

 among their "bric-a-brac" had not the price— which has always been $2.50 — been 

 a little too high. We now have a limited supply at only $1,20 each prepaid 

 (and according to our premium offer will include a year's subscription to the
