Is the A & P a Menace to Small Business?
Is small business, going to the dogs because of chain stores
underselling them? Almost every day someone publicly yells
about the plight of small business and^ usually blames'the
chain stores. Thursday of last week the justice department
filed a suit to break up ir.e A & P, oldest and biggest chain
store in America, and cue that we know here in Raeford,
ha\'ing had one for a matter of two decades or more.
We believe the presence of chain stores in Raeford has been
helpful. Since the coming of A & P and Pender’s all leading
%
grocery stores in Raeford are better places to buy food and,
we believe, they are all as a result more pr9fitable than in
the days when their operation was not spurred on to.greater
efficiency by competition.

customers.” Moral there every businessman knows - “Compe
