All over the world today there are people teaching bitterness

and hate.

. THE EMPLOYEES? That would be funny — except

Who hollered for 7 Uncle?

Who wants him to break up AGP? , COULD IT BE INDEPENDENT GROCERS?

Doesn’ likely. In ten years America’s indeDe Ee almost tripled their business. Is 1938 they did just under 514 billion dollars worth © food business. Last year the independent storekeepers handled over 15 billion dollars worth of food.

WHOLESALE GROCERS? Hardly. For many of them are directly or indirectly engaged in or supporting some form of voluntary or cooperative chain to match chain economies.

that some folks probably believe it. Actually, less thar 25 years ago many food chain stores could have ya : all expenses — rent, heat, light, wages, etc. — wt of the money a store manager atone gets: paid. now. store manager of 25 years ago would have been happy to get what a clerk gets today.

PRODUCERS? Well, take farmers. Certainly port of their prosperity must be attributed to the mar s that big chains create for them. The big chains uy the entire pack of many a cannery. Those Samierite pack the farmers’ crops. What would the farmer 0 with His highly perishable crop if the food chains were eliminated as big volume buyers? :

COMPETING CHAINS, MAYBE? No. Practically every chain in the grocery business had more sales last year than the year before. One chain that we know a lot about increased its food business 21% last year “and is up 19% im the first eight months of this year.

THEN IT CERTAINLY MUST BE THE PEOPLE! Like fun. If the people hated food chain stores, weld they have spent 94 billion dollars in them last year Folks like the low prices and high standards of chains — and the better the chains are run, the better folks like them. .

Does This Sound as Though We Need Help? 3 tence 10 years Thorofare Super Markets came into exis ago. The food chains Thorofare replaced were doing about three million dollars worth of business a year Housewives liked our policies well enough to boost their. purchases in our 90 stores to about 30 ‘million dollary a year. : ; We call that a vote of confidence. And we're going to keep right on proving that as long as we stick to good brands and better-than-average selections at rockbottom prices, we can compete with anybody in the business. And keep right on growing, too! * * *

hain will be punished for being

't believe any C We don't ives so-well that it 1s

efficient, or for pleasing housew forced to grow We, too, believe that it is a storekeeper’s duty to bring the public the best food at the lowest possible prices, and hope to see the chain store way of doing busi ness vindicated.

) the cuslong as the producers, the employees, th rad a0 a wholesale, grocers, the independents and the competing chains thrive so well, we will continue to think it's a good way to do business.

17,

Here in America we have learned to live together in friendship. For us here at A&P, it has been a wonderful and thrilling ex-

perience to get from those with whom we compete day after day; : such astounding evidence of friendship and respect.

The things that have happened since the anti-trust lawyers from Washington brought suit to destroy A&P have amazed us.

While we sincerely believed that we had earned the friendship of millions of consumers for whom we have provided better food at lower prices, and the friendship of millions of farm families for whom we have provided a better market for their produce, we were not prepared for the avalanche of offers of support.

But most of all, we have to confess that we had underestimated

of the grocery business. On the contrary, A&P has always been beneficial to any open-minded businessman who believes in FREE ENTERPRISE. Founded on the principle of FAIR PLAY and FAIR PRICES, A&P developed from a humble start to its present commanding position in the field of retail merchandising.

e o o o A&P upholds the rights and privileges of a good worker. I know this from personal experience. A&P is ever

on the lookout to promote sincere and ambitious employees -

to trustworthy and important positions: and has never crossed the efforts of any employee to enter into business for himself. A&P helped me to start in business... IS THAT AN ACT OF A COMPANY MONOPOLIZING THE GROCERY

BUSINESS? NO! .

A&P taught me to serve the public BETTER—MORE ECONOMICAL and MORE EFFICIENT, thanks to the start given me by B. F. VINSON. «

eo o o o During the depression of the thirties, A&P paid higher wages than any other chain. A&P has striven to keep up the standard of living in this country. I shudder to think what would happen to its 110,000 employees if it was forced out of business. . :

e o o o I am not afraid of A&P competition—I welcome it. It's democ.atic—it's the American Way.

There are nearly 350,000 individual grocers competing with us. : They have a larger share of the nation’s grocery business today . than they had ten years ago or twenty years ago.

Many of them do as good a job as we do, and they make it plenty tough for us.

Yas, we want our ALP competitors fo stay in business on their present scale because we know whet it would mean to the American people without them. We are only one store and are striving to serve our community with food at low prices, but the ASP is nationwide organization serving the American people everywhere with good food ef low prices.

This suit is another threat against our great American system of free enterprise. The A&P Co. has always been clean, above board competition and any successful independent merchant, if he is honest, will admit that they have taught him a great many things regarding merchandising, reducing overhead, better buying, etc., thus lowering food costs for the great American Public. ;
