tain and operate only Super
markets complete with a
meat department.
They made several attempts
in Caldwell to locate a suitable
building with plenty of parking
space but none was available, ac-
cording to Mr.. Yarbrough, and
the company deemed it advisable
to close down the local store.
During the next week, prices
will probably be sharply reduced
and as much of the merchandise
as possible will be moved in this
way. The balance will then be
taken to other stores.
Kroger stores such as the one
in Caldwell have been closed in
McConnelsville; Wellston and
Crooksville.
Located in the |. o. Q. F. build
ing on West street, kroger has
been located in this community
for more than 35 years. It has
been managed for several years
by Byron Schsfer.
The dis-continuance of the
kroger store means that Cald-

be without single chain fooo
