Curlain of Air
For Dairy Gase

One of. the many modern
features to be seen in Kinnaird's
new Shop-Easy super-store is the
dairy-case unit.

Clumsy, awkward doors have
been dispensed with. Instead, the
shopper réachs in through an in-
visible. curtain of air.” Advan-

tages claimed are greater con- |,

and better
since the curtain completely pro-
tects the products from dust and
germs at all times, even when

the shopper is making a selection,

Easy's friendly personality: gro-
cery fixtures are coral-tinted, the
floor is of colored asphalt tlle,
and = wall-sized murals add the
final touch.

Soft, unobtrusive music gent-
ly keeps traffic on the move,
gives the shopper an unconscious
lift without detracting from the
important and rewarding busi-
ness of discovering the wonder-
ful food buys that lie in wait
down every aisle.

Purchase completed, the
shopper is passed through Shop-
Easy's new SpeeDee check-outs
in very quick time, and leaves
the store electronically through
the almost-human “magic eye"

doors which swing open automa-

tically when approached.
