We knew that there are usually one or two outstanding stores in every community where the majority of the beat customers trade. We also knew that the more-than-a-million readers of TIME are America's best food customers. For as a group, they live better earn more (about twice the American average) and they spend more jti the beat places. So we cent a questionnaire to TIME subscribers in your town asking them to name the best grocery atores there. And one of the stores they liked the most wasi Peoples Store I thought you would be pleased to have this evidence of what the top people in your community think of you.
