Friday and Saturday Spt

Why do the Atlanta housewives ALWAYS
watch and wait for the Rogers advertise
ments?
1t is because they know that articles
they use every day will bequoted atprices
which permit of them saving many dollars
each month.
Only last week a customer, making a
purchase at one of our North Side stores,
told us that she had saved S2.I5 on that
purchase of $3.50 about 80 IS per cent
as compared with the prices she had been
paying
The money saving values for Friday and
Saturday are equally as good as this.

Every piece of machinery was selected with the
idea of reducing the cost Of baking bread. The
latest improved, most modern ovens, the large
mixing machines, the big moulder for moulding the
loaves of bread are all. time and money-savers.
The result is that you get the finest loaf of bread
