Dr. Morris' line of prescription foods now sustains almost 50,000 dogs, extends their...
...thing Fox has not been able to do is cut prices. At an average of 28? a can for concentrate that makes a pint and a half of juice, Minute Maid sells for about 5? more than the brands of such chains as A. & P. While Minute Maid feels its quality justifies the price difference, it wants to increase its share of the market. This week Fox announced that Minute Maid is marketing a new concentrate with "the fresh fruity flavor and charm of freshly squeezed oranges," hopes thus to increase profits and customers...
