Notes

Original Toronto Star caption: Things are changing down at the supermarket. The advent of low-margin selling is most obvious at Loblaws; which has junked trading stamps; but it extends through the industry. Main reason: The price conscious consumer. Food firms are scurrying to take on non-food lines. Company shares have sagged.
