Scope and content
Interiors at Fletcher's Grocery in Parkland. Photos ordered by the Jack Frost Co. To the left is the pre-packaged self service meat and to the right is the glass topped butcher's display cabinet for individual cuts of meat. White attired employees stand behind the refrigerated cabinets. Self service would soon replace the neighborhood butcher shop, with self serve's lower prices and longer hours winning over shoppers. Signs offer bologna for 39 cents a pound, mock chicken legs 6 for $.59 and corned beef for $.59 a pound. The self service meats were open to 9p.m.
