Piggly-Wiggiy Store.
When the help yourself' idea
was introduced in merchandising.
many persons looked on II with skep-
ticism. These skeptics believed that
business institution could ret be
counters---they thought customers
would be reluctant to pass through
aisles and make their own selections,
emerging at desk where "a cash

The success Of the Piggiy- -Wiggly

prefer to pass through the aisles and
make their own selections.
one OF Tulsa's Piggly-Wiggly
stores is located at Second and Bos-
ton. Since It was located there its
business has grown rapidly and Ia
now one of the city's leading busi-
ness concerns.
Because of the absence of clerk
hire the management OF the Piggly-
Wiggly store explains that II Is able
to give it's customers the benefit of
a substantial saving.
When tho Piggly-Wiggly plan was
started several years ago. only a few
articles were kept on the shelves. As
the idea grew and increased i'm popu-
larity the stock was enlarged and
new lines were added. Today one
may find virtually everything good
TO eat, from potatoes 20 fresh but
ter and milk, the latter being kept in
refrigerators until removed by the
customers hands.
As one passes through the store he
finds the price of every article
marked in plain figures, eliminating
the necessity for asking questions
concerning such prices.

One of the oldest lines of automo-

emerged triumphant In every test.
When a motorist thinks of Repub-
lie tires he instantly associates that
name with tires that are always
good.
Republic tires are handled by the
Steiner Tire company, 407 East Sec

be seen on cars in and around Tulsa.
