ladio Ideas
A prelude to what might be happening in. gro
cery stores across the nation if the stock market
continues its downward trend,was indicated last
week by some strange dealings in Helena, Orei
. A price war between rival butchet shops oc
curred. Picnic hams went down to 45 certts. then
to 40 then to 36 cents. Hamburger, starting at 49
cents a pound, soon became 'a, chief target for. the;
competing price reducers. It fell to 15 cents, then
to five—and filially, one butcher put up a sign:!
"Hamburger freefone pound 'to[a customer." i
Maybe its not out of the realm of possibility;
that, in due course of time and hot tempers. they’Ui
be paying the customers 10 cents apiece to carry
a|way meat. We’ve already heard about one ipaT-
ket (also in the Oregoh areal which has begun
shipping free hamburger] prepaid and packed in dry
ice, to mail order customers throughout the nation.,
As the fellow- saysj they're not making any
money . , . but, boy, are they doing business!
. Maybe this will eventually lead to pork chops
by parcel post! Wonder what other strange ad-|
ventures the 20th Century will have to offer.
P.S.—Henceforth, the editorial policy of
Trampling Out the Vintage wiill he to incite a three-
way price war between Duncan, Sbisa and various
