"A request" gammon and bacon newspaper advertisement from The Evening News

Newspaper advert from The Evening News, 2nd September 1914.

'Sainsbury's London's Leading Provision Stores. A Request. Naturally a large number of our qualified assistants have responded to their Country's Call to Arms. This must necessarily cause some dislocation of our service, but we trust it will only be temporary. Meanwhile we must crave the indulgence of our Customers. Special Offer this Week. Gammons cut from the finest Wiltshire and Waterford Bacon. This joint is both seasonable and economical, and pence per pound cheaper than Beef and Mutton.

To replace Men joining the Colours, Vacancies as salesmen for Practical Grocers and Provision Hands up to 40 years of age. Must have had experience in first class cash trade'.

(Price per lb included)
