Eventually the literal meaning was forgotten and the word culprit evolved in its modern meaning "an offender: one guilty of a crime or misdemeanor' SALAD DRESSING AMERICAN Large FOOD STORES Celebrating National Baby Week TOMATO JUICE Utah Pride 46-oun- 23c eon ce KAR0 SYRUP Dark 1 i -- sound glass 21c IVORY FLAKES Largo package IVORY SOAP fin Vi Meat 11-o- f Binty Mooro CHILI AAc Mooro V Dinty Nestle' gc Mortel 37c Cocoa ENRICHED I J0 Lb 4401 SOFTASIIK Per Jar r —— VcC 4 c Schilling v 21fi Dromedary White Satin Milk Coconut Sugar AHWWAX C KABl large package P' Largo packago SPICand SPAN tmoH packago TIDE I 07c OQc Giant packago CRISC0 ' T h16 ' Franco-Americ- 2 cans an TUNA 1 2 Solid Tin Minute 15-O- z 19 PICKLES Pkg lall - IK OLEO m 43c Admiral Yellow I 1 Storey Cut Dill oBl ° r Qvartoro&Y pound Cookies Wp DREFT Powdered fTZ 13c popular Brandt Q0c Oiant package can GHETTI No B whifo$otin 33 - Popular Jrand carton Sea-Be- e N - 0XYD0L J — t Vanilla 24c 'l Libby's Asstd — 41c 22c rag ban Soap largo pockago Chocolate Powder 21e GOLD MEDAL Baker's Calumet s74 CIGARETTES BABY FOOD - 26C 37c DeviIsRod FLOUR ounce can Meat Belli Celebrating National Baby Week 10c buz 5 VaityfiiAe ' Cimgcr&h TAMALES °- BaMvu a 43c WW 99c With Beons cm - pie rjc 24-o- x It' Ctustquiek crust mix can BEEF STEW !
