(Central Preif) Ml America A C(0)lllr All over the world today there are people teaching bitterness and hate. 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 ti. Iffiniiil the fine sportsmanship of many of our competitors all over th Can anyone believe that these competitors would rush to defense if, as the anti-trust lawyers allege, we had been trvi"' to put them out of business? y ng We and they have fought hard for business. 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. Now, day after day, these same competitors are letting us know that they are in our corner. All we can say is, thank you from the bottom of our hearts Isn't America A Wonderful Country! Who hollered for Uncle? 'Tie " OliS;Bm T, """ilv. 'n. .-.I "nlrsi.. 'HMr."." our '"nt in ,1, i Ai Pi! to tf, Mi n Who want him to break up AtP? COULD IT BE INDEPENDENT GROCERS? Doesn't seem likely. In ten years America's ,nde, pendent storekeepers almost tripled tl.-,r business In 1938 they did just under 5V4 billion dollars worth of !S butin.... Lst year the independent keepers h.ndled over 15 billion dollars worth of food. WHOLESALE GROCERS? Hardly. For many of ,hem are directly or indirectly engaged in or support ing some form of voluntary or cooperat.ve cha.n to match chain economies. THE EMPLOYEES? That would be funny - except that some folk, probably believe it. Actually, less than 25 years ago many food chain More, could have pa, d . i.t iloM wnces. etc. out til tne all expenses - rem, - , . money . store manager alone gets pa.d now. Ami the "or. manager of 25 year, ago would have been happy to get what a clerk get, today. PRODUCERS? Well, take farmers. Certainly part of their prosperity must be attributed to the markets at big chair!, create for them. The b cha.n, buy th! entire pack of many a cannery. Those canneries pick the farmer.' crop,. What would the farmer do " .... : .i fi rhmm were with his highly pensnaoie crop u .. eliminated as big volume buyers? COMPETING CHAINS. MAYBE? No. Practically .very chain in the grocery business had more sale, last year then the year before. One cha.n that we know a lot about increased it. food business 21 last year and i. up 19 in the first eight months of th.s year. THEN IT CERTAINLY MUST BE THE PEOPLE! Like fun. If the people hated food chain stores, would they have spent 9V, billion dollar, in them Folks like the low prices and high standards of cha ns and the better the chains are run, the better folks like them. Does TWi Sound as Though We Need Help? Thorofare Super Markets came into existence 10 years .go Th. food chains Thorofare replaced were doing .bout three million dollar, worth of business a year t j.. lik.H our oolicies well enough to boost their purch., in our 90 store, to about 30 million dollar. year. We call that a vote of confidence. And we're going to keep right on proving that a, long a, we st.ck to good brand and better-than-average selection, at rocR bottom prices, w. can compete with anybody in the ..- ia vn riuht on erowing, too! W. don't believe any chain will be punished for being efficient, or for pleasing housewives so well that it is forced to grow. We too believe that it is a storekeeper's duty to bring th.'public th. best food at the lowest possible prices, and hope to see the chain .tore way of doing busi ness vindicated. And as long as the producers, the employees the cus tonvrrs, th. wholesale grocer,, the independents and th. competing chain, thrive so well, we will continue to think it's a good way to do business. , 1 Hi Tr at-.'

The great A&P is not detrimental to the progress of the grocery business. On the contrary, A&P has always been beneficial to any open-minded businessman who be lieves 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 My experience as a former employee of the TEA COMPANY has served me well. I attribute my success to the ideas and methods tried, tested and proven by the A&P stores at a great cost. 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! Briton. Pres. PROVIDENCE PUBLIC MARKETS PROVIDENCE, RHODE ISLAND A&P taught me to serve the public BETTER MORE ECONOMICAL and MORE EFFICIENT, thanks to the start given me by B. F. VINSON. 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 oiit of business, I am not afraid of A&P competition I welcome it. It s democraticit's the American Way. 1 J tmpion SIMPSON'S SUPER MARKETS 765 Moreland Ave., S. E. 580 McDonough Blvd., S. E.
