Emery's Ready
Package Foods
Ready-packaged foods, In
cluding meats, lresh fruits and
vegetables and ao on, nave wen
one of the lateit and moat pop
ular development ot super
markeU. Only a few short years
afo nearly all meat was pack
aged alter it had been selected
by the buyer. The practice of
cutting- steaks and roasts ahead
of time had developed, but it
still took the time of the buyer
and a store worked to pick out
the right cut and weight.
Since supermarkets depend
on volume sales, anything that
will make selections of foods
easier and quicker will help the
store care for more customers
in leu time, to the profit of
each.
Experimental ready-packaged
meal display counters were
almost an instant success where
they were tried and now they
are almost the rule.
The practice of "take a num
ber" when you arrive at the
meat counter went out with the
ready - packaged idea. Many
housewives complained of trou
ble with numbers and some
times controversies lost a cus
tomer, especially during rush
times does the packaged meats
save time and trouble for the
shopper.
The meat cutters use quieter
hours to prepare a wide variety
of cuts and sizes. Then when
the rush comes, there is a mov
ing line along the meat counter
with rarely any slowdown. The
old plan would have put cus
tomers three and four deep
around the meat counter until
it even was difficult to reach
for the number hook.

Meat Department Is
Scrupulously Clean
The meat department has
been designed so that it can
easily be kept scrupulously
clean. Most surfaces are bright
metal or easy-to-scrub wood.
A large meat refrigerator
can be entered from the cut
ting room and from the loading
dock. An overhead track helps
in getting full carcasses to
hanging areas, from where they
are withdrawn for cutting and
packaging. N
Convenience and cleanliness
have been the goals in all meat
handling operations and tested
equipment has been installed to
reach those goals in all Emery
IGA stores meat departments.
The transparent cellulose
covering used in packaging
meat serves several purposes.
It permits easy visual inspec
tion, keeps the meats natural
moisture inside the package,
keens the meat secure from
airborne or other contamina.
tion, helps to retain the meats
natural color lor considerable
time.
The self-serve meat cnnntr
has cut at least half the time
needed to buy meats and has
reduced any likely waiting to
aimosi nil.

New Meat Counters
Long and Attractive
Longer, more attractive and
more demanding on refrigera
tion are the new meat counters.
but supermarket operators have
found the added service to the
public has paid off in heavier
sales volume.
Ready . packaged vegetables
were a logical extension of the
idea. Convenient quantities are
packaged In slow periods, ready
for the busy shoppers who will
soon throng the vegetable department
As is the case with meats, at
tendants are always handy to
upply quantities not available
in the ready-packaged counters.
Experience has shown that
many vegetable items retain
freshness even longer in trans
parent cellulose coverings than
on an open counter.

There's a Ham Just
Right Size for You
If you know your ham, you
can find just the size you need
whether you plan for family of
four, a party of 14, or dinner
for two. There is the whole
ham, butt or shank. There are
ham center slices for broiling
and baking.
. There is the smoked picnic
convenient for the small fam
ily. It is the lower section of
the shoulder or foreleg, weighs
about 4 to 7 pounds, and is
similar to ham in appearance
and flavor. For even amaller
family usage there is the bone
less smoked shoulder butt that
averages from 1 to 4 pounds.
It Is a nugget of very lean,
rich flavored meat carved out
of the shoulder butt.
Easy to us . . . Wonderful
for Frosting and Desserts
