9*01? KIGHT QUALITY SERVICE STORES TO OPEN Independent Grocers of City Start New System Friday As Members of Nation-Wide Group. With the opening tomorrow of six independent grocery stores in the city, • housewives of Clinton and surround ing territory will have an opportunity of becoming acquainted with a new Quality Service group, into which these grocers have organized. Stores at Newoerry and Prosperity are included in the number in which Clinton stores are united. Planning to sell better foods and give decidedly better service as two of their strongest fundamentals, the stores of the Quallity Service group hope to accomplish much under the new ‘system that is working highly satisfactory in hundreds of towns throughout the country. Buildings of all the stores will be freshly painted, and generally the stores will be made more attractive upon their entry into the new association. Each .of tl-„'i stores will retain its individuality,* of fering its customers the benefits of! charge accounts and*personal store; and delivery service for which the in dependent grocer has been noted. Final discyssions of plans for the participating stores were held Tues day night at a banquet in Newberry with a large representation present of merchants, jobbers and food manu facturers. Officials said that the meet ing was one of the best that has been held in the state. The opening announcement of the Quality Service Stores will be found in today’s paper and similar adver-^ tisements will appear each week. Lo cal grocers included in the group are: Baldwin’s Grocery, 50-50 Grocery Store, J. M. Pitts, I. C. Boland, Blake ly’s and L. V. Pinson.

If It were set up on Broadway, this half cubic mile would tower seven times as high as the Woolworth building, and the bin would be twenty city blocks long by ten blocks wide.
