Store Serves
You
More Intimately
IT SEEMS like an odd contradiction to say that
the more customers A&P has, the more intimate
ly it can serve each one of them. Yet it’s a fact.
The original little store from which A&P
sprang was stocked with carefully bought
food. But after all, it was a small store, and
it had to buy what the market offered.
The grown-up A & P of today is stocked
with food whose selection takes the full
time of hundreds of buyers, scattered
across the face of the earth, searching
wherever good foods originate for the
pick of the crop. So it is that when
you express a desire for a certain
type of food, a specialist in that
food knows where to find it at the
peak of quality, for the lowest
price.
The A&P store in your neigh
borhood, backed by an army
of expert buyers, carries out
your wishes as the little
old original store never
dreamed of doing.

Jerusalem.—Davar and Haaretz, two
leading Hebrew dailies, joined in de
manding energetic action and results in
the way of a vigorous Palestine drive
from American Zionist leaders. Davar,
the labor organ, attacks the leadership of
Judge Julian W. Mack and Jacob De
Haas in the administration of American
Zionism.
“They must start energetic activity at
once,” says the Davar, “if they do not
wish a revival of the war for a change
of administration. Under the leadership
of Louis Lipsky the administration de
faulted here and there, but it recognized
its duty toward Palestine.”
Haaretz similarly deplores the inac
tivity of American Zionists at the present
moment. It urges the Palestine delega
tion now in America to speak "face t
face” with American Jewry.
“Ussishkin’s campaign for the Keren
upheavals in Palestine,” says Haaretz. in

commenting on the reception being given
here to M. M. Ussishkin, world president
of the Jewish National Fund.
