BY JOHN c. MOSES

BY JOHN c. MOSES
Thank you, madam, we certainly APP
preciate your cooperation" was the re-
mark 1 overheard in one of the markets
of Birmingham yesterday 1t was one Of
the clerks thanking lady patron for
'toting'' her own package. She had been
4 used to ordering two or three times each
| day and making the merchant burn up his
gasoline, wear out his tires and hire ex-
ira help. But she has been converted,
/ and is trying to help out the merchants
who trying to reduce delivery cost.
| And l hope many more will fall into line
at once.
| Everybody likes little extra on Sun
| day. The kids want cake; pa wants some
| too And what is Sundays dinner, any
| how, without a good roast, a baked hen
or duck or nice big snapper with sauce
| all over it? To get all these good things,
| just take this market page this morning,
| read over the ads of these live merchants
and make your choice at the breakfast
| table where the whole family can hold
conference and agree on terms. It's
great game-this marketing propositions.
! Flies are still with us-in some places.
| One of the places they are not with
us is at Holzer's Market. They never get
a chance to light in this high-scoring es-
|
| young Holzer is right in behind them.
| He watches the cleanliness of his market
| Just like he does the grade of meats that
| go into his enormous cold storage plant
in the rear of his market Here it is all
| lowed to season" and get right. Meat
that is too fresh is not good, you know;
it must be seasoned to get tender. That's
why Holzer always has the crowd with
him-tender and best or meats. And his
delcatessen department Is one of the best
| corners of his market place. If you get
up with a crouch and cont know what
you want, just drop in and ask Sig Levy
\ to cure you. He'll do it If he has to sell
you Limburger cheese.

James A, Norriss is with us again to-
day. He has been too busy the last few
Saturdays, he says to think about adj
vertising. But he sees a difference in
the volume of business he does. and don't
want his old customers to think he has
| retired from the game " marketing IIe
saws he likes to cut prices and worry
competition He is splitting the saving of
! his delivery service fifty-fifty with his
trade. That shows a good spirit, and the
patrons are beginning to like the idea o.
"toting" their own packages as they get
(; so much more If you want to see a nice
Saturday layout read over his ad on this
page and then go and see for yourself.

ness pay and grow as it should. Tan
ner's Delicatessen Department has taken
on new life recently. There's a reason.
| My young friend Dan Hall, Jr., for four
/ years in charge of OHM & Mendels deli
catessen department, has been placed in
charge of this ready-to eat department,
and his old friends have followed him to

where everything was so convenient and
where such variety of cooked meats,

This place is open Sunday where a
prepared meal can be bought in five min

der the fan and eat Dutch supper. It's
great I've tried it lots OF times.
