THE GROCER WHO
MAKES THE MOST SALES
CAN SELL AT THE
LOWEST PRICES
This is worth your careful attention and
consideration
Every store has certain fixed overhead
expenses each month and those expenses
must be included in the prices he charges
for his goods
The merchant who sells only a SMALL
amount of goods must charge a price suf-
ficient to cover those expenses and leave
him a living profit for himself
But the merchant who sells a LARGE
amount of goods can afford to keep his
prices DOWN and still cover his over-
head expenses and make a living profit
for himself
Our sales are VERY LARGE and our
profits are VERY SMALL It will pay
you to think this over
