Women Cost Stores

the blame mus, be placed mostly on
the women who do the buying
IL our women folks would plan
ahead and place their orders reg
ulaT!y. so that distribution could
lie made in ono. or ar least two.
z deliveries each day. that would
make possible tremendous re-
duc'ion in distributing cost. The
