THE SOUTHERN ISRAELITE

_
We’ve never
changed so many
prices in our lives
The price of food has been going down so
fast for the last year or more, that at times
we’ve thought we’d have to
put on an extra force just to
change the price tags.
For we don’t lose any time
reducing the prices in our
stores when the food we sell
costs us less . . . When we pay
less, you pay less. And we’re
usually the first to bring prices
down where they belong . . .
As you’ve probably noticed,
if you read our advertise
ments.
But we
carry over a
thousand
food items.
A n d we
can t very
well put all
of their
names in the pa
per. no matter
bow low in price they are. So you can see
l ow sensible it would be for you to come
n and see for yourself.
