Plans Made Public At Meeting In Blairsville Saturday Night A gigantic memorial to the com rades who lost their lives in the World War is to be erected by the Georgia Legion on top of Blood Mountain at Neels Gap, overlooking the vast expanse of mountains and valleys, in the form of a lookout for the protection of the forests from fire. This news was made public at a meeting at Blairsville Saturday night sponsored by ahe Union County Chamber of Commerce, at which many notable Georgians were speak ers, and at which the Lions Club of Murphy were among the special guests. The meeting was attended by the greatest galaxy of orator and men of prominence ever gotten together in that section, and to Bonnell H. Stone, w*ho acted as toast master, goes the credit for this achievement. The speaking followed a banquet in the Christopher Hotel and around the heavily laden table of turkey, cranberry sauce, and various other appetizing edibles, some sixty or seventy guests assembled, from all over Georgia. One man. Mr. Rond berry, drove over 400 miles in or der to be present. The meeting was enthusiastic, and lasted from 7:30 until after ten o'clock, but so eloquent did the speak ers wax that the time passed quick ly Torn Candler, prominent Blairs villey attorney and Deputy U. S." Commissioner, made the address of welcome, and speeches were made by the following: Mr. Graddick, State Commander of the American Legion; Mrs. Mat tox, State President of the Legion Auxiliary, and her husband, Judge Mattox, of Rome; Dr. Straughn first chairman of the Georgia State High way Department; W.

MERCHANTS KEEP DOWN COST, SELL FOR LESS, FRANKLIN URGED W hat t>a- been called the most re markable individual step in merchan dising towaiu niassp roductioi. and distribution of any multiple line of ( product* i- being celebrated here throughout ."?4 states of the Union to day. atid in Canada, too. It is Foun , tier's Week, commemorating t he f ir-t | conception <?f the chain -tore idea ! which was Uim in th** brain of Huntingto.i Hartford in I85!?. The idea, greatly amplified by its o?iiri . r.ator and his -ucces.-ors since then, was the bedrock foundation of ill similar chain system- that are f-uch - sential and integral parts of ;;ll business, financial and domestic life today. And f?ack of this ,.f j mass gathering* and distribution. j articularly of foodstuffs, was that j of thrift as preached by Benjamin I-ranklin. One of the innate pre , cepts of that mellow philosopher's , life was. !n cffect, as lovers of Frank ; link now. "Keep down costs and sell j for less." It was witht hat principle always i uppermost in his mind that the foun der of the great A ??? P grocery store j chain built the organization from a : -ingle shop in Vesey Street into a Iose-knit but far-flung organization that today comprises 15,000 -totes in -5 1 state < and in the Canadian prov I inces of Ontario and Quebec, a nd | whose customers number more than ?"..000.000 daily. Founders Week has been annual y celebrated I yt he A ?X: I* organiza 1 ion for some time. It has a pecul iarly significant phase this year in view of the recent announcement by John A. Hartford, that th4s oldest of chain stole systems has decided to open twc-Ke units next month on. i he Pacific CoaSt at Los Angeles." :husb ringing to a realization the dream of its founder of a chain of stores whose links actually stretch from the shores of the Atlantic to thes shores oft he Pacific. The doz en stores to be opened at Los Ange les eventually will be followed by other units to be established all up and down the west coast of the con tinent. Behind the scenes of a chain store system, particularly a food chain, theie i- a world of romance that is particularly interesting to the public. This was aptly emphasized today by Mr. P. M. Bealer. Superintendent of local A & P stores. He pointed out that transportation of the veritable mountains of foodstuff* to the store from j.ont of production or gathering is ne of the greatest single items in the matter of price to Mr. and Mrs. Ultimate Consumer, sisce the latter must pay the cost of trans portation. All of the vast purchases of food that are uniformly displayed in 15, 000 A. & P. stores go as direct from field or factory to store counter as human ingenuity can make possible. There is nothing lost in mileage or time between these two points. Tins matter of routing goods is o1' prime importance for extra mileage and extra hours in transportation mean added costs. So thse routings are worked out in the most minute de tail to save that extra few cents per pound it might cost for smaller food cargoes that must therefore be rout ed less direutly with the invariable addition to original cost. Because carload and even shipload lot purchases the chain stor? or ganization can command not only fhe most direct routes and the greatest speed in transport, but the lowest cost per mile, it was explained. It is also obvious. Mr. Beaur add ed, that this direct routing from production point to sales counter el iminates the frequent handling? to which goods otherwise routed arc subjected. This elimination of frequent handling naturally results in lower prices to the ultimate con sumer. Proof of such saving is given in the fact that chain food distribu tors today sell forty persent of all foodstuffs consumed in the United States.
