The new store has an aul.oma- i door and five check-out i counters for the convenience of f customers. *

The new Save-Easy will vi ot _‘ have delivery service because. in the words of Bill Ellis. "Since there is really no such thing as ‘ free delivery service. we w - not be instituting one. Delivery costs are usually added to th e . price of the goods sold. it is our ‘ intention to keep the cost. of the goods bought by the consumer lowest on the’ Island and I delivery service would make this impossible."

The meat department. situat- ed at the back of the store. is the utmost in modern efficiency. It is paneled in white arborite and open to public inspection. The large glass window in th e

o . of the meat preparation areas allows the purchaser to see that the meat is prepared in clean and sanitary conditions.

The produce preparation and storage area is next to the meat department and is paneled in . white-enamelled plywood. 1 VENTILATION I
