EDITORS News The greatest dread
the househeepeE has when doing her dali
Iy marketing is the sorry condition OF the
grocery stores. Just look at the crushed,
decaying vegetables upon the floor. See
how the ladies frantieally clutch their
clean, starched skirts, and pick their way
through the narrow space left for custom
ers. @Do you suppose" said one lady to
another in our hearing, t'that they ever
wash these floors?' We are glad to be
able to say that one store after re
peated attacks from lady customers, did
on last Saturday night, scrub the floor
and wash the windows.
We feel called upon to mention this
case, but sadly fear it is an isolated one.
Now why our obliging grocers can't all
be neat and nice and make the ladies long
to 90 marketing-inste&d Of dread1ng it
we can't see. But we live in hopes OF 8
change. f.
