Some Hints About 1Th@Sumday Dinner and Where to Buy
By JOHN c. MOSES

| One day this week I was in Bueher Bros. market getting choice cut of steak, when I overheard a conversation between a clerk and lady customer. It seems this lady had just inaugurated the system of "toting'' her own packages and was delighted to find out that she really could do without any inconvenience to herself. Of course, we all can Whats the difference whether you go home with empty hands or a few small packages in them?
 The merchants are commenting on the goodness of the housekeepers of Birming- ham in helping them out with this deliV- cry worry. And it will mean cheaper prices when the plan gets in full swing.

 Prices are at record figures" said my friend Holzer yesterday. Tt keeps me busy trying to shave profits down so as to please my hundreds of customers and at the same time come out little to the good. Of course, you know I don't han dle seconds but always display the best meats the market affords. For this reason it is harder to give Saturday spe eials but if you will notice my ad for Saturday you will see I'm offering sev- eral good things at actual cost. Any body can buy job lots In meats and of fer them to the hungry public. The quail
 ty will not be discovered until the fam fly sits down a the table on Sunday"

 The c. D, Kenny Co. blows it's horn Il good deal about quality goods at right prices. Well they have a right to do this. Hundreds of satisfied customers in teas, coffees and sugar don't even know other merchants handle these commodities, so , pleased are they with what they get at kennys Manager BrumbacI claims that his 25-cent Special Blend coffee is the best to be obtained at anywhere near this price And his CeYlon tea at 50 cents is a great hot-weather drink No use telling our readers about sugar. Kenny sells it by the carload, and always hesi- tates about making a raise in price, even when the wholesale quotations have gone skyWard. * *
 Ruehler Bros, with Manager Rich in charge, continue their Saturday drives. and keep their competitors on each side of them hustllng to try to head them oil | in way of bargains. Really, Bueher Bros seem to set the pace along the 1 block in which they are located. And | the crowds that line up along the counters are living examples of the bargains set l before the public Everything is displayed in a convenient fashion on Saturday, and if dad or mother can't be pleased here 1 in choosing a Sunday meal, they had bet ter make 1t cabbage and bacon from the | little corner store.
 ! My groceryman out in East Lake tells me that Reception Brand coffee has come into popularity with hoop. He says the women folk tell him 1t goes 1 further in way of strength and is com bination of flavor and quality that is hard to beat. Every little old store in 1 this big town of ours has it on their shelves. And most merchants tell me they very seldom have to wipe the dust | off the top of the can-it don't stay on l the shelves long enough to get an ac- lcumulation of dust. The Merten Broker age Co are pushers when it comes to introducing new subject.
 James A. Norriss will be found with an unusually attractive display of fruits,
 vegetables and fish today for Sunday l shoppers. His one aim is to have just q l little bit better display and stuff of more | quality than his competitors It takes 1 time and hustling to do this, but drop
 around today and be treated to lay J out from which to choose that will make shopping easy You know. Norriss has
 done away with his delivery service altogether and his way Of splitting fifty fifty with customers on the saving has
 made him many more friends

 Catanzano Bros, as usual. are on deck with Saturday offerings These boys i are clever fellows and try 70 keep the beet there is on hand. If your appetite I is dwindling away, drop m and ask Gus to show you fat dressed hen or duck; nt nerhans VOL prefer frozen flsA from their cold storage department. And along with your fowl or fish. take home few choice vegeta bles or a Honey Dew melon. You'l be a regular customer of this mar ket after a try-out.
 The Rite Stores, with Manager Stuart in charge, are sailing under full can- vas, They started right, their prices are right, and Age Herald readers will buy right if they try this firm out today They are growing nicely; they deserve to, as their policy is fair and square dealing I with each customer, be they little or big. i Manager Stuart is a great mixer. and one can't help but trying sample trade here.
