Conveyor-Type
Cheek Stands Added
At Koslosky’s
Various departments at Kos
losky’s Department store have
undergone changes in the past
few weeks including the enlarge
ment of the womens’ ready-to
wear and camera departments.
The grocery department this
week added two new modern
check stands to their section.
These stands are the result of
a survey made by Jan Koslosky
while Outside recently. Follow
ing a study of many super mar
kets along the west coast, Kos
losky said those new Zephr-type
stands seemed the most efficient.
Tests have proven twice the vol
ume of merchandise can be hand
led through these stands, than
older styles.
The major purpose in installing
these new stands, Koslosky said,
is to eliminate errors. A cross-bar
situated across the conveyor belt
automatically stops the belt move
ment, necessitating the clerk lift
the package over the bar to start
the belt, preventing errors. New
cash registers, enabling each cus
tomer to watch his purchases be
ing tallied will also be installed
soon, he said.
Section markers have been in
stalled, identifying location of all
grocery items.
New lines of womens’ sport
clothes including Catalina, White
Stag and Koret of California have
have been added to the womens’
department, recently taken over
by Ralph Koslosky. Attractive
sport clothes and accessories are
featured.

TRUCK USERS BUY MORE
CHEVROLET TRUCKS
No matter the size or type of truck you need—what better proof
could there be that a Chevrolet truck is your best buy!
CHEVROLET
MORE CHEVROLET TRUCKS IN USE
THAN ANY OTHER MAKEI
Recently published official registration
figures for the last full year show that truck
users in every single State bought more
Chevrolets than any other make!
It is difficult to imagine more convincing
proof of Chevrolet’s superiority, for such
clear-cut and overwhelming preference can
lead to but one conclusion:
Chevrolet trucks must be better, must
enjoy solid advantages over other trucks.
Such preference must rest on a firm foun
dation of good, sound value. And, of
course, it does—as owners of Chevrolet
trucks can testify.
So before you buy any truck, see how
much more Chevrolet trucks offer you.
Stop in and see US soon. Continuation of
standard equipment and trim illustrated is depend
ent on availability of material.
