...Stores a few minutes after the early editions carrying the announcement hit the street. For Puritan bacon sold by competitors at 18? per Ib. Safeway was offering 34? for 3-lb. Crisco tins, 54? against the cut-rater's 29?; for National Brand butter 29? against 13?. The rush lofted to a peak the first day, then dwindled rapidly until, within three days, the volume of incoming merchandise amounted to only a handful of items.

Though the State will appeal, it was ordered last week to pay costs, plus 50,000 francs for experts' fees, 500,000 for damages and 700,000 francs interest on these damages since 1911 to Miller Doisy who based his claim...
...April, did not assay nearly so high as Power orThe Devil, but it was much solider stuff than last year's highly touted The Fool of Venus (TIME, March 19, 1934).
