About 19 years ago I decided keeping house would beat eating at restaura nts So I paid s1.5O for a marriage license down in Athens, Ga, and got married. Then began problems not known to the young In general. The most perpexing of these was the eat question. In those days the merchants did not specialize in Saturday leaders and big lay-outs for the consuming public. But even then the Sunday dinner was always nightmare when 1t came time to choose what we should have. We had to go from place to place, buy little here and a little there, md when we got home we were tired out and had paid well for everything.
 But today my wife and myself don't have near as many words about the rest day meal as we did of old.
 | True, I help to make this Age-Herald every day, but my wife keeps up with the bargain department, and the first thing she wants to see on Saturday morning is the bargain Market Page. Then she either gives me orders to bring such and such home or takes car ride and gets | it herself.
 | It pays to read The Age Herald and can recommend it's Saturday Market Page to any husband. Read 1t over to- day. It will stimulate you for the nor row.
 And don't forget to ask for your sales checks. You may win the $10 prize. I'm giving the expense money I used to spend on delivery service to my patrons. If you don't think so. look at the prices marked up for Saturday." said James A. Norriss. the fruit, vegetable and fish merchant, located just outside of Hol- me to get deliveries out on time and make no errors, but .goodby worry My patrons seem to appreciate cheap prices instead of having to help me pay for de livery" And the display and prices MT Norriss showed me will be hard to beat.
 It will be sometime before we see the new postoffice. But the new one has nothing to do with the old one. Just across the street from the old building on Second avenue, can be found Newmon S Co.'S up-to-date general market. And if you want to save the pennies to make the dollars, just walk block or two and this bunch of hustlers will show you l how it is done. Cheap rent is one of the main causes for cheap prices here. * <
 Tn times past I was rather dubious about advertising said A. Holzer, proprietor of the Holzer Flyless Market But say, you have got to spend some money in printers ink nowadays to build up and hold trade. Once you get house. wife interested in your business, she will look for an advertisement the first thing on Saturday morning. and if I leave out my ad, customers keep the phone busy asking what we have special today. So we lose more time and money when we do not advertise. Yes it pays to advertise, just as it pays us to carry the best of everything and keep everything clean and sanitary. I must acknowledge my hobby is working for a sanitary meat market Don't you think I would make. a good husband about homer" (Mr. Holzer is a young man and open for bids)
 Up the street one door I stood and watched the Catanzano boys at work. Talk about team work It would do Birming- | ham ball players good to get pointers here on team work. That's what wins in any game. Hence we always see a smile on the faces around Catanzano Bros market. All ends meet here, and the result is a good trade and good stuff for the trade. Anything that anybody else has got you can get here-and many toothsome commodities you cant get at any other place.
 Just out of curiosity-no matter if you buy or not-take stroll Saturday and Saturday night to the Peerless Mar ket and Grocery Co. Talk about a bread line in a large city! This cut-rate mar ket and grocery store has the aforesaid line tied at least It's problem to get waited on Where there's so much smoke there must be fire. And a little inves- | tigation will find that low prices and square deal to all alike are the causes of the smoke. Drop around and see my friend Mcintyre He's boy with bust ness smile.
 Lets us prepare your Sunday dinner" | said my friend Norriss last Saturday as l l walked up in front of the Sanitary Mar ket. And believe me, his force of clerks | were preparing Sunday dinners in
