Post War Grocery To Be Close To Customer
Cincinnati Feb 6 The post war grocery store will be medium sized and close to the customer says Joseph B Hall vice president of Kroger. Stores will show all stock have quick access to coffee and provisions use transparent wrappings for vegetables and emphasize frozen foods. Grocers will act as information bureaus for farmers keeping pace with public tastes and self service will expand across chains and independents. Hall notes supermarkets limit reach when too large and favors self service. In brief German forces under Woebler asked Hitler to surrender but was refused and Hitler ordered continued engagement around the encirclement.
