Founder's Week
Observed Here
By Food Chain
The originator of the modern
chain store will be* honored here
next week, February 10th to 16th,
by the A & Food Stores.
Local observance of Founder’s
Week, announced by R. R. Betz,
vice president in charge of the com
pany’s operations in this area, will
pay tribute to George Huntington
Hartford, who, in 1859, opened the
first red-fronted store in what is
now the world’s most extensive sys
tem of food distribution.
“Mr. Hartford founded more than
a grocery business,” Betz said. “He
fathered a principle of mass distri
bution which in its 86-year history
has not only helped establish a high
standard of living for American
wage-earners but has also provided
industry as a whole with a blue
print for public service.
All of the company’s facilities are
now being directed toward improving
the quality and variety of foods.
During the war, consumers were tol
erant of substitutes for scarce items
but, with the return of peace, they
have become highly selective in their

Speedier transportation, direct
farm-to-store deliveries, modern
packaging and better refrigeration
will enable distributors to bring
foods to market in better condition,
he pointed out. Wartime scientific
developments also have been enlist
ed in an effort to improve food pro
cessing and to help eliminate waste
and spoilage as factors in food cost.
Betz said the company is support
ing local observance of the week by
making “a special effort to supply
stores in this area with complete
stocks of merchandise.”
Paying special tribute to more
than 26,000 employees of the com
pany who served in the armed
forces, Betz said that the return of
thousands of experienced food work
ers will help restore and expand
shopping conveniences.
