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.
