Some Hints About
Th@SWmday DINNER
and Where to Buy
by JOHN C. MOSES

by JOHN G. MOSES
While strolling around among the re-
talers yesterday afternoon, 1 was i'm
pressed with the layouts prepared for to-
days big business. Not many staples
were missing on the stands, and every
one expected big things in way of pre-
pairing baskets for Sundays dinner.
And the best thing yet, is that the
good women folk 'toting" home their
smaller purchases as never before This
was particularly pleasing to the mer-
chants who have been burdened with
large overhead expenses heretofore.
Look over this list of merchants who
believe in telling a silent little story
in Saturday mornings Age-Herald:

At Holzer's sanitary market I stopped
at the delicatessen department first and
bought my wife some prepared meats.
She has the grippe, and it's up to me to
Keep her in good humor. And it's this
prepared delicatessen eating that will do
the job Drop in and let my friend Sig
fix you up an assortment, including a
package of limburger Turning around, I
faced the fresh meat department, 1t will
cure chronic grunter just to look over
this layout of western meats. Don't fail
to take advantage of the bargains in
Holzer's ad this morning.

Just outside Holzer's front door YOU
will find James A. Norriss, the hustling
vegetable fish and fruit man. He's
never still-always looking for bargains
to offer his patrons. Norriss was one
of the first merchants who cut out the
delivery service and gave the benefit to
his customers. Many have thanked him
since, as they find it saves them money,
and the inconvenience amounts to moth
ing. Norriss had q nice display of fresh
vegetables, fish and rabbits, so it will be
no job to load up basket here this
morning.

We have all heard of cotton kings.
money kings, and just common old kings,
but by way of variety Birmingham has
a rabbit king. And his name is Nc
lEtire, proprietor of the Peerless Market
and Grocery Co. My friend claims to be
the largest handler of Missouri rabbits
in the south, and judging from the stock
on hand yesterday, it must be a fact.
What's better than fried stewed or bar
becued rabbit for Sunday? And don
think this is all that is handled here
best of meats. fish and groceries. Drop
in and see for yourself

e. Ethridge, located in a nest of COM
petition on Fourth avenue between Nine
teenth and Twentieth Streets has put
in a meat market in connection with
his grocery, fruit and vegetable stand.
This department is only one week old
but judging from the trade he has car
ried on the past week, it is a success
from the jump. Nothing but No.
meats will be handled, which will be
priced in keeping with the quality and
as low as possible. 1t is now possible
to fill an entire Sunday basket here
without leaving the door.

Emond, who was busy preparing for Sat

offering credit to all worthy patrons
in fact. they prefer weekly or monthly
accounts to cash If it will save their
patrons the trouble of sending in the cash
each day or paying on delivery. In other
words, this market and grocery store
wants all the business it get, and
is willing to go more than half way
to get 1t. Here will be found the best
of everything in way of groceries, veg
