Astounding Reductions in GROCERY PRICES The FARMERS’ Open New Zealand’s First Genuine SELF-HELP GROCETERIA V? K 7,*— 7*3 i rw! CURIOSITY will make thousands of people visit this new department. The great savings effected by purchasing here will keep them coming. The SELF-HELP GROCETERIA is not based on cut-throat prices to catch trade. Prices are permanently reduced because, by serving yourself and wrapping your own goods, you save salemen’s wages, and save delivery charges. You also carry home your goods Every article on the shelves is clearly priced. Bring your last grocery invoice with you no matter who supplied you—and check up the savings for yourself. But don’t think your grocer has robbed you. The tremendous savings in our Self-Help Groceteria prices are simply the economies made by cutting out the costly services of salesmen, truckmen, wrappers, benzine, and the running expenses of delivery vans. There is no urging a customer to buy. No offering something “just as good.” No waiting for an assistant. You walk into a spotlessly clean department with everything arranged within easy reach. You are furnished with a suitable basket in which you accumulate the goods selected. You simply help yourself as you ordinarily do from the shelves of your own pantry. On leaving the Groceteria your goods will be checked by our assistant, who will give you a docket for the full amount. You then wrap the goods or place them in your own bag or basket. We supply paper and string, although many people will bring their own baskets, hampers or carry-alls. Those with motor-cars will use our Free Parking Area, and make big savings on their grocery bills. We believe the discriminatihg women of Auckland will find it a pleasure to shop this new way. It is not only the economical thing to do, but the easiest way to shop, this new Farmers’ SelfHelp way. You will save time, money, and energy in our spotless Self-Help Groceteria.
