Some Hints About the Sunday Dinner and Where to Buy
By JOHN c. MOSES


 Good housewives, have you about de- clded to help your merchant solve his
 most difficult and expensive problem?
 refer to the delivery service problem. It's an awful expense to be compelled to make three or four deliveries each day when one, or two at the most, would do just as well.
 Did you ever stop and think if you 'toted" your own purchases at the mar ket you would be sold goods almost 10 per cent cheaper? When you see an au- tomobile or motorcycle delivery pull up at your front gate, it does not seem out of the ordinary. But stop right now and ask yourself what it costs your merchant to keep up this service
 When the good wife gets up in the morning, she ought to make up her mind at the table, with suggestions from the head of the family, just what she wanted for the whole day. Then take The Age day dinner. Order everything you need at the same time Then all your goods will get to you at the same time.
 And how happy your merchant would feel if he could line every -stomer up l along this order of things.
 Better still, if you go to town to shop and don't use the phone, help the mer- chants out by toting'' your own stuff. We have been pampered and catered to by the good merchants so long that 1t has spoiled most of us. But spoiled child can be cured" Let's start this very day and help cut out the tremen- dous cost of the delivery service of our merchants. Either order everything you need for the day early, or if you "go shopping" yourself, strain a point and tote" your small load home. It's long road that has no turn. So let's put a crimp in this well-beaten pathway which we have formed and start to help the merchants.
 have talked to several advertisers on this page this week, and all agree that>l they could make prices lower by Q good per cent if the delivery service could be cut out or curtailed considerably.
 If you start .'toting' your Sunday din- ner today, mention the fact when you make your purchase. It will encourage the man behind the counter.
 
 This is live page today-full of read l able ads that mean dollars saved to every woman in Birmingham who patronizes | the markets and grocery stores listed on l our Saturday Market Page. Saturdays l purchase of the rest day meal has become | an easy proposition. If your neighbor | doesn't subscribe for The Age-Herald. show them this page and tell them how easy it Is to order from it's Market Page. l Let's pass the good work along
 I dropped into Newrhon up-to- date market yesterday. Things were in order all over the place Plenty of clerks l were at work behind the counter. Each one knew his business. No sooner was a customer alongside the counter, until | he received the glad-hand remark, Yes sir, what can we do for your" If you are in a hurry and wish to catch your car, try Newmon & Co. for service. And the market is so handy, just across the street from the postoffice building Qual- ity meat and close prices go linked to- gether here.
 The Peerless Market and Grocery Co have long catered to the Saturday pur- chaser. It's a big day there. And to meet the rush and give the best of ser vice. my friend McIntire makes service one of his hobbies. And the Peerless prices keep the Peerless crowded from morning until midnight. If you don't believe me, drop in and save the price of weeks car fare on your Sun lay eating. Prices on groceries and meats are cut to the quick, so to speak.
