CURLEY GRIMM WRITES YOU A LETTER DEAR FRIENDS AND CUSTOMERS: We started to write an ad but found out that while we still have lots of groceries (figures furnishe'd by the tax assessor) there aren't many bargains any more. We got plenty of canned goods and will have that on sale Saturday. We also have plenty of all items that are to be rationed so that you can stock up and have enough to last over "Freeze Week." Did you see the crowds in here last Saturday? "There must be a reason," but it certainly made the old gentleman scratch his head and wonder just what we are qc'.r.? to do when point rationing gets here. We will have lots of fresh fruits and vegetables gosh, lettuce is coming down a little at last. By the way, did you know that we are really cranks when it comes to buying fresh produce and it might cost you a tiny bit more here but, boy, our fruits and vege tables are tops. We still sell some meat but you better come look at it before you buy and we're not telling you the price until you get here but we'll guarantee your complete satisfaction. Don't write any answer to this letter (use your ink to write to a soldier boy) but come in Saturday, Saturday night or Sunday and look us over. Yours truly, GRIMM'S GROCERY at 547 N.
