Farmers Are Aided
By A. & P.
Purchases

It was not many years ago that
a modern A. 4 P. food store did
not carry green groceries, bet
ter known as fresh fruits and
vegetables.
This was considered q busi.
ness by itself, and one which
was engaged in chiefly by peo'
pie Of Latin-speaking countries.
Consistent with A. & P.'s up
ward climb and their desire to
offer every convenience possible
to the busy housewife, they ex-
perimented with the sale of fresh
fruits and vegetables in a small
number of stores.
While it cannot be said that
their first venture was success
full, they were quick to realize
that il the merchandise could be
properly bought, handled and sold,
that there were possibilities Of a
big future in this phase Of the
grocery business.
Today, the local A. & P. organi-
zatfon is one of the largest pur-
chasers of fresh fruits and Vege-
tables in washington, and brings
in by carloads such items tnat
are not available on the b
Street Market. 1t has been said
and is commonly known that
when producing sections offer
their crops at various seasons
Of the year, A. G. P. food stores
are always one of the first to
offer the goods to the buying
public.
The Washington times., 1929-10-24
Holiday Merchandise
Arriving for A. & p,

Holiday merchandise stocks are
beginning to arrive in large quanti-
ties preparatory to the Halloween,
Thanksgiving and Christmas busi-
ness that Is anticipated. Each year
witnesses further strides in this sea-
sonable merchandise and A. q P.
stores promise this year to have
stocks of greater assortment than
ever beforp.
Cider, nuts, peels, mince meat,
fruit cakes and candy will all be
ready for Halloween, and character,
stic of the company's policy. Will
be offered at attractive prices.
The Washington times., 1929-10-24
Low Prices Each Day
Mark A. & p. Stores

One Of the most beneficial and
successful merchandising systems
for the good of the buying public
is available to the buying public
at every A. & P. store.
No longer is it necessary for q
person to wait from one day to an
other or from one week to another
to purchase large order of
groceries.
Every day low regular prices tell
the story in a few words as every
item sold in the A. & P. stores car.
ries a low reasonable price based
on current market conditions at all
times.
The Washington times., 1929-10-24
Food Sold in A&P Stores Come
From Whole World

Practically every section of the
world is represented among the
foods found in stores of the Great
Atlantic and Pacific Tea Company.
The finest of teas are imported
from China and India; olives are
brought from Spain and olive oil
from Italy; sardines from Norway
and Portugal; coffee from South
America and salmon from Alaska
all of these products, and many
more, are placed at the disposal Of
Washington shoppers through the
Atlantic and Pacific stores OF the
city.
Atlantic and Pacific stores carry
complete stocks of nationally IA
nous foods and local favorites.
The lines OF food are complete and
the wide assortment meets the re.
quirements of every purse
The Washington times., 1929-10-24

The Atlantic and Pacific policy
OF low prices every day gains new
friends for the stores each week.
Frequent deliveries of foods to the
stores from the Washington dis
tributing warehouse makes it pos.
sible for all Atlantic and Pacific
managers to offer fresh foods to
their customers at all times. De-
liveries of perishable fresh fruits
and vegetables are made to the
stores in Washington and vicinity
daily, so that the Atlantic and Pa
cific may be sure of offering such
merchandise in the best Of condi-
ton.
Quality of all Atlantic and Pa
cific products Is high, and each ar.
ticle offered for sale bears the COM
pany's unconditional guarantee.
The Washington times., 1929-10-24
A. & P. Prices Below
Average. Saving Coin

A. & P. prices are substantially be-
low the average, which means a
huge saving to our customers. One
dollar spent at an A. & p. store pur-
chases as much as $115 at an ordin-
ary grocery store, This is why A. &
P. stores are selling more goods to
more people every year and new A.
& P. stores are opened weekly to
serve new Washington customers.

with big ears hold true with a ven
geance in feminine beauty today
regardless Of how fashionable a
particular style Of couture may be
Don't ever forget thatl
If your ears are within the beauty
laws. the problem OF their grooming
presents itself and Is one that can
be solved easily and quickly by 0
few general rules. namely. that the
skin be soft and smooth and
that the necessary cosmetics used
for identifying them blend per-
fectly with the general complexion
Soap and water or cleansing
cream usually takes care of ur
first two provisions. If, however,
the textue of the skin is not up 70
standard any lotion or cream used
for refining the skin on the hands
or face is equally effectual for the
ears.
The third provision Is the one
that causes most of our beauty
troubles. and this IL due to one #
two things caTeleSSness or lack
OF knowledge.
Ears should not be highly rouged
nor should they be waxen and pal
lid in color. A faint. rosy flush Is
the ideal tone whether one be Of
light, medium or dark complexion.
The same rouge as that used for
the face and lips is the correct one
to use for the ears, but they should
be tinted ever so family. Many
women require no artificial aid az
all for this. but when it is needed
the lightest possible application is
ample.
And now about powder. During
the daytime most of us use the dust
form for both face and neck and
so the Same is used for the ears.
Don't forget to brush off the excess
powder with a fine camel's hair
brush, SO that traces of your ar
ticle are not left TO betray you'll
For evening use, however, espe-
cially when decollete Is worn,
liquid powder is used for the neck,
chest, shoulders and arms. for it
does not rub off and thus necessi-
tate continual touching up. There
fore. liquid powder, instead OF that
used on the face. should be ap-
piled to the ears. Once again blend
ing must be perfect so that a
smooth. even tone is achieved.
II you're going in for sun tan this
winter your ears must be as brown
as your face and throat, If they
show.

I think the first thing to decide about this ear

rules for ear beauty. rules that have been so gener-

follows: The ears must be small and lie close to the
