■ NOTICE TO OUR CUSTOMERS
Effective Saturday night, April 1, 1961, P & Q
SUPER MARKET will terminate the issuing of S & H
Green Stamps to its customers. This decision was ar
rived at only after careful consideration in a desire to
lessen the total cost of your grocery bill. This action
twill strictly benefit our customers in the form of lower
everyday prices. We will be able to pass on to you, our
-customers, rebates and allowances that we heretofore
i have not been able to do. Better service will be a direct
of this action and we will be able to concentrate
at all times on, your wishes,and desires.
| ’
We will be able to speed up our check-out operations,
; to save you valuable time that can be used to your ad
vantage. We will be able to give you week-end specials
[every day, instead of just Thursday, Friday and Satur
day as has been the case in the past.
We will be able to give free merchandise from time
to time, to make your shopping tour more enjoyable.
The answer is simple! Were in business to make
money . . . and WE WILL MAKE MONEY BY LOW
ERING OUR PRICES! Does that sound strange? It
would seem so. You’d think we could make more money
by raising our prices—but the exact opposite is true at
your P & Q.
i Here's why: Volume is the reason and the key—here’s
how it works. Our percent of net profit from each dol
lar sale is the same, regardless of the volume . . . BUT
• ■ (and this is the IMPORTANT FACT) ... the high
s.er our volume the lower our percent of operating cost!
i.This happy condition comes about because, generally
speaking, the higher volume of business can be handled
largely on the same fixed operating cost.
P Therefore, in comparison and percentage—our costs
go down in direct proportion to our increased sales!
AND HERE'S WHERE YOU COME IN! We take
our savings in operating costs and pass it on to you in
the form of lower prices . . . while we maintain our
same ratio on the dollar sales!
It’s a beautiful example of teamwork because
EVERYBODY benefits! YOU SAVE MORE BE
CAUSE WE MAKE MORE! The more groceries we
; sell—the more money we make—and the more money
you SAVE! Sort of like a snowball rolling down hill
the faster it rolls, the bigger it gets, and the harder it is
• to stop ... but nobody wants to stop it! Our volume
of business has grown consistently . . . our cost of opera
tion has correspondingly dropped—and more and more
are saving more and more money EVERY
-DAY OF THE WEEK!
P EVERY-DAY lower prices will be available on a
consistent basis . . . week in and week out. They will
t’remain lower than competition constantly ... the only
jtune P & Q will change a price is when the cost of pro
|ducts to P&Qgo up or down. Smart housewives know
THAT TOTAL SAVINGS COUNT! And smart house
wives will find they can shop Monday, Tuesday and
and get the same unmatched values as on
|the week-ends . . . with less effort, less shopping time I
with no parking worries. I
This, then, is P & Q’s new policy ... to achieve I
greater volume—bring about lower operating costs—and I
pass the savings to you! We hope this policy will meet I
| with your approval, and may we be able to save you 1
j many, many extra food dollars in the coming years. I
May we take this opportunity to thank you for your K
past patronage and solicit your support in the future. I
