'You know It Is no pleasure for. merchant to have twenty. four giggling girl, wandering through hii tore. IT IS YOUR Safeway grocer's business to know the foods he carries. He can tell you about can sizes and the contents of each can. And about how to choose any kind of fruit or vegetable. How to pick out tender meats. He wants to give you the fads you need to compare prices grade for grade and quality within each grade. You see, giving his customers buying ad vice is part of his everyday job. That job is to lower food prices and also pay farmers a larger share of the food dollar. No single grocer could accomplish these things. That's why Safeway grocers, buyers, truckers, marketmcn and home economists work as a family. This way they save time and eliminate wasteful expenses in between farm and store. The Safeway family tackled this job because the American people wanted it done and THI SAFEWAY GROCER'S GOOD NEIGHBOR CODE I sell only foods of a quality I can personally reeammend I tell you truthfully the grade and condition of all my foods I guarantee full-weight measure I refund lo customers the full price of any purchase which proves unsatisfactory Little Fair Queen 1 mi iVV' ...
