eCN't'S S-N dinner.
 I'm not as young as I was a few years back and my appetite gets rather stale at times. When this stage Is reached a trip to Holzer's delicatessen department puts me right. Last week I asked Sig Levy, in charge, what I needed. "Try a couple of these fresh smoked white fish, said Sig, "and you better take one home to your wife and mother-in-law, as they both will be glad to get fresh fish" His advice was followed and there has been no family troubles since. Of course, you have the choice of prepared meats, smoked fish, many kinds of bo- lognas and sausages, all the different makes of cheese, sauerkraut, preserves and pickles. If one thing don't suit you, try another And if it. is one of the best western roasts or steaks you are longing for, turn to the fresh meat department and get it. This market is exclusive agent for Arnold Bros. output of bacons, smoked meats and delicates- sen.
 The Alabama Market and Produce com pany changed headquarters the other day, moving a few doors nearer Twenty first street. If moving helps business, then it paid my friend Hackney to move, for the crowds that have lined up along his counters the past couple of weeks speak well for the treatment they must be getting. The new market is far more inviting than the old stand; it is strictly sanitary in every respect and inside fixtures have been placed so as to give quick service to all. Everything IS before the consumers eyes; no place for accumulation of dirt and trash. And again, Hackney has everybody guessing on his price-cutting. Tn fact, it begins to nnlr tly- ~I1 really cheap. It wouldn't be bad idea for the women folks to look over things at this market every day in the week. Prices are right all the time
 on my rounds among the retailers this week I dropped into Newmon & Co.'S. Now. I've known this fellow Newmon for many years. His markets always at tracted my attention, as he always had everything spotless and white. Some markets paint up their fixtures dark so as not to show dirt. But none of this for Newmon. His hobby is high scoring, and if you watch his score cards each month. you'll see his marked up high. And the quality of meats he handles are in keeping with his sanitary surround ngs-the best obtainable. He always has specialtes on the counter and marks prices way down. One thing that counts with this market is it's close-in location just across the street from the pOstof- flee. on the corner of Second avenue and Eighteenth street. This market has a quick delivery service, and things are al- ways done on time
 James A. Norriss still holds the fort in front of Holzer's Market And he is us- ing large-calibre shells in his campaign against high prices on fruits. vegetables fish and oysters. His space is limited but the amount of stuff he turns over every week is amazing. But even al that he can fix the housewife up witt Sunday dinner along his line that will be hard to duplicate as to quality anG prices. Norriss carries a complete as. sortment in every line, and his stuff is always fresh and crisp. He prefers tc make quick turnovers and small profits and in the end is winner himself, besides helping the consumer to save He is strong on the tote your own stuff game, and divides his savings fifty -nrty with the trade.
