l*B-MmBOR-HBRAU>-nm«»y, Pakrawy M, IVTI ASKUS Got A Queition About Supemutrkets, Buying Groceriet, Etc? Write to P.O. Box 1330 Salubury, N.C., 28144. We Tell It Straight. Q. Are super markets making more profit today? B.S. A. Profits are at a record low. The latest published figures show that net profit after taxes is less than a penny on the dollar of sales. The exact figure is 0.86 per cent of sales. That means that on a $30 food order the typical super market keeps 2$ cents as net profit. Q. If super markets aren’t making more profits, how can they afford to build big new stores? T.M. A. Super markets must build stores to survive. Because their profits are low, they must sell more merchandise to more people, more efficiently. Larger stores with more merchandise make this possible. Q. What is meant by the term “loss leader”? A. A loss leader is something sold below cost. For example. If three-pound Crlsco costs $1.58 and sold for $1.49, this would be referred to as a “loss leader.” Q. Why do some stores sell bulk produce and others don’t? A. This is a decision made by top management of each company. Food Town knows that from a sanitation sUndpolnt, it is in the customers’ best interest to buy self-service produce. Q. Why does Food Town use parcel pickup service? A. Food Town’s experience has proven that the cost of loading your groceries by use of parcel pickup is much less than the “roli-out” system used by many others. This savings is passed on to Food Town customers in lower prices. Q. Why do supermarkets put merchandise up so high so that you can’t see the item or the price? A. Limited space requires maximum use of space. Most supermarkets do not want their merchandise to be stocked too high. Food Town is now back to regular shopping hours for your convenience - 8 a.m. to 9 p.m. Monday thru Saturday ^iUSDA^ USDA CHOICE 28 TO 42-LB .CHOICE Whole Beef LOINS ,AJSDA choice 20 TO 25-LB Whole Beef SLICED FREE INTO T-BONE SIRLOIN OR PORTERHOUSE STEAKS Sliced free into rib eyes rib STEAK OR RIB ROASTS ARMOUR STAR REG.
