Record Jump in Demand for Raisins in Pittsburgh
March reports show a bakery and retail district surge in raisin sales after tonic claims linked to a beverage. A dealer averaged over 5700 dollars daily for two weeks, totaling 173000 in a month. A major packer agent sold 2.5 million dollars in 2019. An industry representative notes Pittsburgh’s fruit trade surged last year, with 60 carloads more than the next year. A chain store placed a 600000 dollar order for three cities. Authorities attribute the rise to prohibition chatter and urge caution. The piece also promotes E. Grove’s brom quinine laxative as a cold prevention product.
