CLARENCE SAUNDERS Originator of the Piggly Wiggly System JAMES W. ELLIOTT President The Business Builders THE BUSINESS OF BIG BUSINESS is to SERVE the buying public by LOWER prices and by giving finer goods and greater convenience. The luxuries of the classes yesterday are the necessities of the masses today because Big Business has made it possible. HAIN STORES, based on the prin- ciple of a big volume of sales with rapid turnover on a small margin of profit, have for the past 15 years been demon- strating their popularity, efficiency and econ- omy with the buying public. Tens of thousands of cigar chain stores, drug stores, five-and-ten-cent and grocery chain stores have been established throughout the United States with great success. Grocery chain stores are probably the most flourishing of chain store systems. Chain Grocery Stores Have Prospered for a very vital economic reason—LOWER PRICES. The main factors in making lower Prices possible have been: large quantity pur- chasing, the elimination of bad debts and deliveries by the cash-and-carry plan, and central financial and management control. The largest chain of retail groceries in the country recently advertised in the New York newspapers that they had saved their cus- tomers in 1921 $36,000,000, or 18 cents of every dollar over the average grocery Prices. It is easy to understand from this why the public gives its support to chain grocery stores. Perhaps the Most Individual and Distinctive System of grocery stores is the Piggly Wiggly system, originated by Clarence Saunders of Memphis, Tennessee. Beginning with one store in Mem- phis five and one-half years ago there are now over 600 Piggly Wiggly stores in 200 different cities in the South and Middle West, doing a yearly business of approximately $60,000,000. Piggly Wiggly stores have all the economies of regular chain store methods of operation—plus self-service. 'HIS unique self-service plan of mer- chandising has enabled Piggly-Wiggly stores to double their volume of sales and re- duce operating expense in comparison wi. 1 the regular chain grocery store. Piggly-Wiggly carries only the highest grade of goods, well-known nationally advertised brands—no private brands. Piggly Wiggly has been a tremendous success everywhere the stores have~been established. And now— Piggly Wiggly has come to New York IGGLY WIGGLY is probably better suited to metropolitan habits than any other section of the country. New York people are interested not only in saving money but also time and annoyance. It's always YOUR turn at Piggly Wiggly because you help yourself. It is very simple. Every article has a price tag in plain sight. You help yourself and pay as you leave. . The Manhattan Piggly Wiggly Corporation, with its associated companies, is opening a minimum of 800 stores in the Eastern territory, comprising over 13,000,000 urban population. It is expected that the territory will require in due time at least 2,000 stores. James W. Elliott's Business Builders, Inc., Knicker- bocker Building, 42nd Street and Broadway, is financing the enterprise and in addition securing and traini the executive and merchandising organization which will operate the stores. These Piggly Wiggly stores will be conducted undes exactly the same principles and methods of manage- ment which have made over 600 Piggly Wiggly stores successful and popular. 18 Step in one of the following stores now in operation and see how Piggly Wiggly SAVES— time and annoyance as well as money.
