Ray Oden’s Southside Food Mar
ket features a “premium system”
and a “shopping guide sign” that
are both outstanding as original
ideas of giving the customer bet-
i ter service and more bargains.
Shopping Guide 3ign
The shopping guide is a large
sign listing the grocery merchan
dising by main classes in al
phabetical order and designating
opposite each class in what sec
tion the merchandise may be found.
There are thousands of items in
the store but the groceries are
listed under main groups such as
baking goods, which includes flour,
soda, baking powder-all the items
needed for baking.
The sign is a result of a con
test among the employees for sug-
guationa as to how to Improve the
service of the store. It is centered
around the suggestion of devising
some moans whereby those who
shopped on rare occasions could
quickly locate wanted articles with-:
out Interrupting the employees
during busy periods.
Premium
The premium plan Is unique In
that It offers a means of using
advertising money most effective
ly where prices, quality, conven
ience, and other factors are the
same in similar stores.
The plan consists of the cus-

tomers saving their cash register
grocery accepts beginning March
23, 1960, and turning them in for
sets of Holiday . California Pot
tery. This pottery is beautiful in
color and design, is ovenproof and
of gift-shop quality, and makes
an attractive set for any home.
Administrative Coat Cut
Oden states that by using a pre
mium plan and by advertising in
this way from $1,200 to $1,600 net
can be saved in the course of a
■year’s time than by advertising in
other ways. .He further said that
no additional mark-ups and no ad
ditional administrative expenses
are involved. *
According to the Department of
Agriculture, the national expendi
ture for food per person in 1948
was $340, Under the premium plan
for pottety the average family
could get at least 27 pieces In a
year’s time hy buying their gro
ceries at the Southside Food Mar
ket.
Pottery Method Huperlor
“By using the pottery method,”
Oden said; “bottlenecks are eli
minated and our customers get u
better bargain, since less expense
is Involved than would be under a
stamp-premium method.” He also
said that if < all of the cash re
ceipts were redeemed, 26 to 80 sets
of pottery with a retail value of
$2.96 each would be given away
each week. . J J
Oden expects to use the pottery
premium plan for the remainder
of 1960 and is going to use the
same plan or a similar one from
year to year.
