It's customary, we know, to send flowers on Mother's Day. But
we believe you are more pleased with many little “extra"
conveniences for making your work easier—rather than one
big splurge ' on Mother's Day. We respond with such com-
mon, everyday courtesies as a complete stock of quality foods,
arranged within easy reach on shelves that are spic and span.
You'll find shopping a real pleasure at IGA . . . where you
receive the courtesy and personal attention of the owner him-
self. And so our way of saying “Congratulations" on Mother's
Day is to make your shopping a profitable pleasure every day
in the year.
