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. g Kt ATLANTIC & PACIFIC T C E 0 A Unlimited service No restraining clocks, no gadgets, no “off periods”!
