Strickland Store Now
In New Location

( ford has moved To larger anu
more commodious quarters on Mill
ford avenue between Stanford ana
2Sth streets.
Young strickland. proprie-
tor. has been In the grocery busi-
ness for many years and has built
nm one of our most substantial
businesses. The owner was for a
number OF years an employee OF
the Ford Motor Company but be-
cause of his growing business he
was forced To give up his employ
ment mt Ford's and devote his en-
tire time 10 his business. The pop
ularity and appreciation of the
strickland Grocery Company was
shown Friday, August 10th when
they moved In their beautiful new
double store and had their formal
opcning. From . n. m. until mid
night the store was beehive OF
activity, on several occasions
blocking traffic on Milford avenue.
They came from all sections OF
the city. The store is very attrac-
lively arranged; carries a com
plcte line of Fl oceries, meats and
poultry with a modern refrigera-
ton system, and prices TO meet
the largest chain stores. In many
cases they actually undersell the
chain stores.
The Strickland, Grocery Comp
any is also the home OF unexcelled
courtesy, cleanliness and prompt
delivery. Mr.. Strickland has been
one OF the most staunch support
ers OF the Booker T. Washington
Trade Association since its organi-
cation. On the opening day he
made this statement, I'm spite of
the excellent service we have al
ways endeavored to give our ma
irons since we have been I'm the
grocery business, we attribute our
increasing business and the pres
ent expansion entirely to the work
and support OF the Booker T.

Detroit Housewives League. They
started a slogan about two years
ago in the heart OF the depression.

organizations and my many friends
