CORKSCREW

A grocer who sells bottled goods and has no corkscrews in his stock, is short-sighted. They can often be sold to ladies, especially the Patent Lever types which involve no strain in pulling the cork. That a grocer must have one corkscrew admits of no question--customers naturally expect to have their purchases opened if they request it. A five-cent corkscrew readily given with a purchased bottle, especially to a new customer, will very often be much appreciated. The more easily a bottle, or can, is opened, the more quickly it is consumed, and the sooner the grocer may expect another order!
