The firm of Chas Calm makes
local delivery and the Grocery Dep
artment is without doubt one of the
best appointed in the city. The stock
in this department is unusually COM
plete and contains many delicacieS
usually only found in the larger
cities. The stock is fresh and neat
ly arranged The business policy
has included the principle that the
store is indebted to the customers
for their patronage and that each and
every customer must receive prompt
and unquestioned satisfactory ser
vice AS an example Of the high en-
deavor of the management in con-
Quoting the business may be men
toned the fact that all accounts are
checked three times SO as to obviate
errors and one may say without fear
of contradiction that errors made in
this store are exceptions rather than
the rule. Friendly Service" might
we'll be the slogan as it exemplifies
truly the everyday business policy.
Mr. Grant wishes to be quoted as
a booster and said 'We need to
develop more of our dormant re-
sources. Foremost in this need is
irrigation. What We need in the
City of Winslow itself is to follow
more closely among ourselves the
spirit fostered by the American Le-
gion, and that is, mutual helpfulness
and an answering active interest
in affairs that pertain to the better
ment of this locality. At present
there is too much waiting for the
other fellow to do something"
