LOCAL FLORIDA AND GEORGIA
ENTERPRISE

What's in a name? Piggy Wiggly
came to town in Orlando, Miami,
Jacksonville and Tampa to demon
strate there is money in name.
She is not yet registered in Ocala
but the Florida and Georgia bankers
and business men who organized the
Tri-State Piggly Wiggly Company
state that with little cooperation of
Ocala families it will be possible to
open store shortly. Piggly Wiggly
was born in Memphis in 1915, the
child of much business today.
Today marks new era in the groc-
cry business with "Piggly Wiggly's'
debut all over the nation. Get your
pocketbooks ready, ladies, she is 60
ing to save your money every day.
We speak of "she" because the work
will be for the women-more spend
ing money for your allowance. Does
not this mean good business? One is
forced to believe Mr.. Saunders, who
originated "Piggly Wiggly," that he
had some advice of some smart wom-
an to so understand the means of
reaching a great end.
Just to think of two men serving
from 500 to 1000 people a day. And
how is it done, please?
When you go through the drill the
way will be simple. Every purchaser
becomes his or her own clerk. They
pass through a turnstile and each is
loaned basket. The shelves are ar.
ranged and only standard, nationally
standard brands, of goods are placed
in order. Why, what has seemed sc
intricate at first is now so simple
and satisfactory. You take what you
want, place it in your basket and the
clerk sums the total on an adding ma.
chine, places your purchases in 8
sack for your convenience and returns
the basket to its place for the mex
shopper, while you leave the cash in
his charge.
Saving three cents on a pound o.
coffee does not seem worth while, but
on three pounds you have nine cents
and then three cents on most every
thing you need each day will certainly
figure to your advantage. The groc
cry supply is complete.
The Tri-State Piggly Wiggly Com
pany viii put in a store in Ocala a.
soon as capital is raised by local CO
operation to about one-haf of ths
amount needed to operate store. Th'
growth of this chain of unique self
service stores has been exceedingl.
rapid, they having spread over tht
entire country in the last few year.
until now there are over $50 Piggl.
Wigglys, Memphis, Tenn, along hav
ing 81 stores.*
