In big ads in Chicago and New York, A & P compared last year's retail prices with 1953's (e.g., $1.08 for sirloin steak in New York v. 89? now, $1.15 for rib lamb chops v. 75? now and 90? for boneless chuck v. 65? now).

That done, she went to the piano, vocalized on scales for ten minutes, sang a few warm-up bars from Cosi. By curtain time...
Even blasé New Yorkers gawked at the razzle-dazzle last week when Food Fair Stores Inc. opened two spick & span new supermarkets. Skywriting planes swept overhead. Models paraded by in hats adorned with lobsters and sirloin steaks. Mayor Impellitteri came to shop, Tex & Jinx McCrary put on a broadcast, and television's Dagmar, surrounded by a crowd of 7,000, had her automobile license plates ripped off as souvenirs.
