BUYING MORE
BUT-
SPENDING LESS
Even when money is scarce and every
body is trying to stretch incomes a s
far as possible A&P stores
are crowdedjustlikethis.
More people are buying food in A&P
stores today than ever before. Old cus
tomers are paying less for what they
buy than they paid last year. And new
customers are getting more for what
they pay.
The ranks of A&P customers go right
on growing in bad times as well as in
good, because the public likes to get full
value for its money.
Money goes far in A&P stores—not fast.
