I TheDoor of Opportunity SwingsWide Open
Every American Store is a door to Convenience, Good Store Keeping, Quality
Goods and Low Prices the door to direct saving opportunities.
We said a few days ago "Let your head save your heels" we repeat it here,
Why not save yourself time and money by trading exclusively where quality counts
and where your money will go farther than anywhere else the combination that is
economic in its very essence.
Every American Store is a land-mark wherever located a guarantee to every
neighborhood that here are stores that stand as barriers between the consumer and
the food profiteer.
IMPORTANT NOTICE.'
