There's something for body at Holman's.

For food there's the food mar- let. The Summerside store boast-: a modern, clean. efficient. sup- ermarket - one of the finest or its type in the Dr(il.'lfi('P. its 2: liousewife's delight. The wide choice of items makes shopping here a pleasant outing.

Of course. food goes right back to the little, one-room building where the Holman business was born in 1857. Summerside fam- ilies, in the early days got their crackers from a barrel in the store run by R. T. llnlman. Thev got their molasses there too. And their tea and other food items.

The grocery department has travelled down the years with the Holman store. The Holman "pipe irgnn." the story of which ap- pears elsewhere in this issue. was

. one of the fixtures in the grocery department quite a number of I ago. But this old system since been replaced by mod- inn methods of packaging.

JIIIANGE FAME

But for all its size the Holman latore operated its izrocery depart- ment along the same lines as any

No music came from liolmans iamoiis "pipe organ” but it played I happy tune for the man) cus- tomers in the old grocery depart- ment in the Summerside store.

The to-called pipe organ was a lnirce of constant wonderment to strangers in the grocery depart- ment whco this venerable system tld yeomsn service many years ago. Actually it was no more than

balk barley. rolled oats. sugar. flour. etc. And it got its name fmrri the pack that a row ot pipes from the rolling down to the rear of the counter was visible and re aernhiad closely the pipe organ.

Orders were taken by phone, box- es filled with food items, and de- liveries manic to the door. liuircrt-i-, all this was changed two years ago-and changed for the better The sliperniarkei was brought into being so that customers would get better SPl'l'lC('. Then it was dctidvd to stop taking phone ordcrs aid to eliminate free de- liveries. liolninn's gambled on this more. Some members of the firm thought business would drop. But by doint: away with this ”sup- posedly” free service. is rlcea could be cut back hy the store. The store was astounded by the response to this new policy. One lady came to the front office to say that. despite the fact she had been buying her szroceries at Hol- man's for ten years, she had nev- er been into the store before. The cutting out of phone orders brought her in and she was glad. Others must have felt as happy about the new deal because with- in six months the grocery section had to be enlarced and rc-located In an area lit'i('e its size. Fresh feat was added to the food mar- et.
