Some Hints About
 1TheSumday Dinner
 and Where to Buy
By JOHN Q. MOSES

The women folks tell me that most of the merchants are cutting considerably under former prices. l imagine this is caused by closer quotations among the wholesale trade. Both the wholesalers and retailers seem to be trying to do their part in making the life of MT. Hobbie state food dictator, cheerful, as it's up to him to see that everyone gets a square deal.
 In Birmingham today will be found the best displays of the season so far The truck coming in from more favorable truck -markekt sections is extremely fine and crisp, and what can't be found for tomorrow's dinner don't amount to d great deal
 The housewives will profit by reading over the ads of the live wires on this page and save money on their purchases.

 Out in Ensley, wise merchant by the name of D. Trucks Is building a nice business by advertising while his com petitors in his section are sleeping on the job. l was out to Ensley this week and things look good out there to me The streets were crowded with busy throng and merchants seemed to do well. But my friend Trucks sees the op- of putting new blood into his business through printers ink, and he informs me the number of new patrons and volume of new business gained by advertising in The Age- Herald has paid him big. There are some other mer- chants in Ensley that we can benefit also A
 At Holzer's Sanitary Market they al ways give me the glad-hand, as my friend Holzer tells me The Herald has put him on the map in several places instead Of the usual one place To show his wartime spirit MT. Holzes will offer wartime sa1es twice a week He is going to help cut the cost of living all he can. So I want the good women of this big town of ours to watch this Market Page all the week. Big thing are coming their way.

 V. W. Wood & Co.,, che upper Secont avenue merchants who sell retail wholesale prices, and who would rathe sell you in bulk and save you none than in piecemeal, are out with an at tractive price list this morning. If you don't believe their prices are under most Of the other fellows, just compare them, and I haven't the least doubt in the world but V. W. Wood & Go. will land your trade on a Sunday dinner-or al your dinners for that matter. Don't for get this grocery stores location--corner Twenty fourth street and Second avenue
 While on my rounds this week, dropped into the neat grocery store Of B. F. Livingston. The first thing that attracted my eye was a score card witt the big figures of 95 on it. This is scoring some for a grocery store which handles so much bulk stuff, such as DO tatoes turnips apples, onions, etc. But l must confess it was as neat as any grocery store it has reen my pleasurf to visit in Birmingham. And his stocl consists of nothing put the best O. page this morning ana join his army O. patrons that enjoy cleanliness along witr reasonable wartime prices.
