Ins ide Indianapolis By Ed Sovola :

WHITHER are we going with the super-mar-ket? Will this colossus ever replace Ringling ‘ Brothers Circus, ‘The Greatest Show on Earth"? This tribute to operators of super-markets is long overdue. Where else can you have so much fun, partake of so many samples, laugh, be entertained for free? The statement needs clarification. My visits to super-markets are always dry runs. I love to mingle with the shoppers, dodge the carts, inspect the merchandise, eat whatever is offered, and , leave. You see, there are no cooking facilities in my modest apartment. Cigarets are purchased from machines as they aL. : are needed. Thirst-quenching heverages are pur- § chased over a counter, Quality buying and storing hasn't heen practiced in my life, Restaurants supply the staff of life. . } BN

BUT UNTIL the time somenne prohibits oec- - casional visits to varioug’super-markets, I'll keep going, keep marveling at their arganization, convenience, growth, selection and keep asking: how did we distribute the food hefore the super-market mushroomed ? With that a twinge of sadness for the old grerery store returns How many remember the grocery hook, the indelible pencil, the open conkie hoxes, sawdust on the floor, the friendlv owner and his wife, the candy bonuses for the kids when the honk was paid up on paviav?
