Housewives, Attention!

One Of the duties as we'll as the pleas
,,res of first-class food markets is to be
able to serve the people with all kinds OF
foods.
Under the trying conditions in the
present food market this is not the easiest
thing to do, and food merchants every
where are now being tested to the very
limit OF their ability.
Under ordinary conditions this would
not be very interesting, but to the thou
sands of people who have experienced diff
fculty in getting what they want in foods
recently, it will no doubt be good news.
These items below are low-priced for
Friday and Saturday selling.
