; Irish Potatoes Go To
Twenty-Two States
Raleigh ? North Carolina potato
1 product'is have aheady shipped 4,
704 commercial carloads of potatoes
into 252 cities and towns in 22
states, the District of Columbia and
Canada. A. B Harless, marketing
specialist of the State Department |
of Agriculture, reported today.
"Shipping point prices during the
1941 season were higher than
1940." Harless said. "The seasonal
range (June 4 to July 9) was $1.15 j
j to $1.90 for 100-pound sacks as com
pared with the 1940 price range of
$f to $1.90. Incidentally, during this
season most of (he trading was at
'prices above $1.35 compared with
the bulk at $1 to $1.30 last season."
Harless said "that washed potatoes
I during the season sold at prices 10
< to 15 cents per 100-pounds sack high
|er than for unwashed potatoes," ex
plaining however that "fewer sheds
were equipped for washing this
year."
The U. S. Surplus Marketing Ad
ministration purchased many cars
of U. S. No. 1. size B, potatoes for re
lief purposes at 70 cents per hun
dred at various North Carolina points
to aid growers whose crops were
small sized as a result of the early
season dry weather."
The North* Carolina Irish potato
| crop this year was estimated at 2,
954.000 bushels, approximately 40
per cent under last drought Late
in the season, however, diggings and
shipments were delayed following a
series of heavy rains."
"Quality of the cobbler variety
was only fair, running heavily to
small sizes in many fields," Harless
said. "During the late harvesting
season tin- rains caused many pota
Small Snake Found In Liquor
Store Shelves Here Saturday
(Robersonville Herald)
Dusting out the bins in the local!
A B C. store Saturday morning, John
Bnley, local colored man, felt some-1
thing slimy and cold crawling up his
left arm. Briley is usually slow of '
action, but when he saw an 18-inch j
moccasin approaching, he dropped
liquor and fill and ran for the front ]
of the building.
It was unusual for the snake to be!
coiled around the bottles of liquor ,
and most unusual for a moccasin to ;
be out of its usual habitat, the
swamps. ,
Tilings To Watch
For In The Future
Air-cooled telephone booths: Bell
Telephone Laboratories has acquir
ed the patents. A wit suggests that
toll stations of the future will thus
take less toll of tempers during heat
ed conversations . . . An increase in
bobbed-haired blondes. The govern- i
ment has sent out an SOS. for long
blonde hairs needed for delicate
weather-prediction devices of the
Army and Navy. It seems that Hit
toes to go to market showing dirty
and the shipping quality was not
exceptionally good because of rot
or break down." *
"Carlot movement commenced on
June 4. six days later than for 1940,
11 days later than in 1939, and about
three weeks behind 1938. .Shipments
during the third week totaling 1,
412 cars were the heaviest for the'
season."
It has been said that enough whis
key at uiie silling ui di inking will
make one see snakes. If the patrons
of the store desire more concrete
evidence it can possibly be arranged
to get a snake with each bottle when
purchased.
The ole debbil has gone after his
victims through the contents of the
bottle, but this is one of the few
times on record* tha he was found
crawling around on the outside and
making ready to strike before the
contents were consumed.
kr has cornered the supply which
used to come from Scandinavian
countries ... A falling off in mer
chandise returns to department
stores if the experiffient of the Wan
amaker stores proves successful.
Beginning this week a service charge
of 10 to 25c will be levied on each
article returned for cash or credit

there's a fortune on the way.

NOW A 5-DAY WEEK
FOR A*P EMPLOYES
THROUGHOUT THE NATION
Stores Will Be Open Six Days A Week As Usual
But No Employe Will Work More Than Five Days
Two months ago this company tried the experiment in a few eastern states of a five
day work week for our retail store employes. Now we are able to announce that we
have adopted the five-day week as our national policy.
? This, we believe, constitutes the first five-day week and the shortest general working
hours of any major retail food establishment.
? 'litis shorter work week will be in effect before Labor Day in A&P food stores in thou
sands of communities throughout -the country. It will be extended as far and as fast
as possible. Frankly, however, we must recognise that in a few states and a number
of cities the introduction of this policy may be delayed or even prevented by state or
local labor regulations or local agreements. '
? A&l* food store employes affected by this policy will work only five dttys a week al
though stores will be open six days a week as usual. Their weekly salaries will not be
reduced by their shorter work week. Our policy is to continually improve working con
ditions and salaries as evidenced by the fact that during the past year alone we have
been able to make actual wage increases and to pay added compensation to our employes
in an amount totaling more than $4,000,000.
$ This new, shorter week is still further evidence that the savings you ran now
make in buying groceries, meats and fresh fruits and vegetables in A & P Food
Stores are mude possible by savings through efficiency and that no part of these
suvings comes out of the wages of our employes.
For many year* it has been a source of pride to us that we
Lave been able generally to maintain the highest average
wage scale and the shortest general working hours in a field
where long hours have been traditional. Since we first cut the
work week eight hours in 1916, there has been a long record
of further reduction in hours, increases in wages and vacation
schedules.
Because our new low prices have resulted in increased patron
age, we have been able to further reduce our operating expenses
and increase our efficiency and still further improve the work
ing conditions of our employes.
At the same time thousands of families will testify that they
buy their foods today at lower average prices in A&F Food
Stores than in any group of stores in the highly competitive
retail food field. Today, when you spend a dollar in one of our
stores, more of that dollar actually purchases food and less of
jt goes to cover distribution costs and profits than ever before
in the history of the food business.
There is no conflict between low prices and good working
conditions. We have achieved both by constantly improving
of bringing food from producer to consumer, cutting
This year we are paying the highest wage* for the
shortest work week in the history of the food business and yet
our customers throughout the country will save more than
$50,000,000 on the food they buy as compared to the lowest
prices we could charge on the basis of our own operating
expense only five years ago.
We are more than ever oonscious, in these unusual times, of
an obligation to make every possible contribution'to the Amerx
ican standard of living. We know that we are making it possible
for the average family to buy more good food for the same
money, or to buy the same quantity of food for less money.
We are happy to tell you that you can enjoy these savings
with the knowledge that the people who serve you in our retail
stores are sharing more than ever before in these good things.
This tneans a better standard of living for you and for those
who serve you.
out waste and unnecessary handling operations along the dis
tribution route.
1 liU plan will necessitate alight adjustments in store hours which will be announced locally. We respect- >
fully ask our customers for their cooperation and assistance in making this new schedule a success.
