What this Country Needs is
WISE BUYING
HAT th s country needs is more intelligent
buying, says a Government official. How can you
become an intelligent buyer? One way, he says, is by
reading labels to make sure quality and weight are
right. He would organize the housewives of every
community into leagues of intelligent buyers, meeting
regularly for exchange^of buying information.
He imagines a meeting of such a club in which it
is reported that store after store is asking a high price
for various-sized packages of food, while one store is
selling a larger package for less. Since it compares
favorably with the more expensive food, the buyers'
club decides to buy that brand and so teach other
food dealers a lesson . . .
It is just such intelligent buying that
has won for A b P so many millions of
regular customers. To them, “A & P" has
become a hall mark of reliability. They
know that foods in A b P stores are as
sound as to quality, quantity, and low
prices as is humanly possible to long expe
rience and great resources.
