Free Parking Space lie i i UidDi nNo 31 i me Before there was market building in Salem people were compelled to drive their cars from block to block and from one street to another looking for a place to park. Often they were compelled to park three or four blocks from where they wanted to shop. After this ordeal of bumping fenders and bucking traffic they would. do their shopping and lug their purchases back to the car, and if it was their lucky day they would find their car about as they left it except one overtime parking tag and a few bent fenders. But now they drive right up to the very door of The Market where there is always plenty of room for everyone. And 'tis said by thousands that at the Market things cost less, i . - : t ! n ' ' ' ' ' i Special Items of Interest to Every s i i Hoiisewif e in the Salem Trading Territory These Prices at The Market Only SWANSDOWN CAKE FLOUR Regular size package 33c 8 PURE LARD Freshly rendered $1.31 Lb. pail ; SNOWDRIFT 4 Lb. paii .L 84c CRISCO U Lb. can ....u $1.35 PELS NAPTHA SOAP. 1 A Bars in carton CO 1U per carton C PURE CANE SUGAR 20 l J i $1.08 JELLS BEST Pure Fruit Gelatine Per pkg. x Calumet BAKING POWDER 1 Lb.
