Del Monte Pineapple-Grapefruit Drink

Del Monte Pineapple-Grapefruit Drink

Neatest trick in years — and DEL MONTE did it!

Like the sunny juice of pineapple? The refreshing tang of grapefruit? You’ll say they’re twice as much fun together in this great Del Monte discovery! Here’s flavor made to order for tots, teenagers, old-timers — everybody! And besides being differently delicious, Del Monte Pineapple-Grapefruit Drink is fortified with healthful Vitamin C. Have a glassful soonest — it’s the best reason you’ll ever have for being thirsty!

While the entry for “CITRUS FRUIT JUICES, CANNED” in the FDA Defect Levels Handbook specifies maximum acceptable levels for Mold (AOAC 970.75) and Insects and Insect Eggs (AOAC 970.72), it is strangely silent on the subject of Clown Backwash (WAKA 970.79).

Think about that before you “Have a glassful soonest!”

Nurse at Burford’s Landing

by Peggy Dern (1966)
Nurse at Burford's Landing
The isolated island needed a doctor and a nurse desperately. Lea decided it was just the place for her overworked, widowered father to relax and still keep his practice. She accepted their peaceful life…until love walked in.

“You are so obsessed with the thought of being a martyr that you will sacrifice anybody and anything to that goal!”

Noel Harper’s words stung Nurse Lea Malvern. She was torn between two loves — her love for her father and the islanders…and her love for Noel, the handsome writer who came to Burford’s Landing to research the island’s history and search for buried treasure. Lea’s days became strained as she secretly wrestled with her conflict amid the gossip and suspicion on the isolated island.

Apparently Valentine Book employed Rob Petrie’s sleepwalking brother Stacey in its titles department.
