The GRABATERIA
The Cash and Carry Grocery can sell for less.
The Grabateria DOES sell for less.
WHY
The Grabateria is now enjoying tbe busin
ess of what was the three leading Groceries
of this locality. Large business volume
means large purchasing power which means
favorable prices in buying. Selling for cash
eliminates the bookkeeper and loss of ac
counts. Our delivery cost is low because
the business is established on a cash and
carry basis and many of our patrous drive
up in their machine and do their own deliv
ering. You are entitled to cheaper prices
because we demand your cash. Our rent is
low, the location ideal. No one will ques
tion but that the Grabateria is complying
with the rules of the State Council of De
fense, in keeping down the cost of doing bus
iness. The selling prices are cut down in
keeping with this low cost. The crowds
that come into the store during the rush
periods will verify all that is said here.
