Eggs for the breakfast table!
Housewives best of all know what a problem eggs have been during the last few months of stress. They were always increasing in price, often they were doubtfully fresh, sometimes it appeared to be only by favour—at least so one gathered from the cook—that they could be bought at all, We may count it to the credit side of things that the egg problem has been solved by the emergence of Cepco eggs—the China Egg Produce Co.'s excellent merchandise.—They were always in Shanghai—but the average person's idea was that they could only be bought in thousands, not by the humble dozen. It required some courage to ring up such a big affair as the China Egg Produce Ca. over the matter of the family's boiled eggs for breakfast, though I pay a grateful tribute to the reassuringly polite and interested manner in Which one's wants were noted and promptly supplied. Now, however, all we have to do is to ring up or call upon the Victoria Butchery which has just opened at the corner of Bubbling Well and Seymour Roads, and we shall receive our baskets of clean brown eggs each stamped with Cepco's hall mark.
And to keep them company are cold meats, poultry, v all in most delectable sele tions. The Victoria Butchery is a most excellent addition to Shanghai's amenities, right on the bus routes—you step off one bus, make your purchases and step out on the pavement again ready for the next one. Or if you are living in its neighbourhood you can just walk along and get acquainted with their most attractive premises.
