UNION RECORDER, MILLEDGEVILLE, CA., OCTOBER 2S, l>2t
A ft P STORES CELEBRATE
SIXTY-NINTH ANNIVERSARY
Local Stores Prepare for Gala
Birthday Party
This week finds our local A&P
stores bedecked in colorful decora
tion in commemoration of The
Great Atlantic & Pacific To* Com
pany’* sixty-ninth year of business.
In the Fall of 1859. the founder of
the AftP chain, Mr. Goorge Hunt
ington Hartford, opened his first
branch on Versey Street, in old New
lork. At that early date, mass re
tailing. or the operation of several
stores under one ownership, was un
heard of and store-keeping was con
ducted along simple lines. Mr. Hart
ford, moved by a dewre to operate
several stores, and to make these
stores unique in that they would
“how but little profit for every dol
lar passed over the counter, there
by presenting valr.es practically un
known in that agt, launched his com
mercial .argosy.
Mr. Hartford continued his work,
bringing branch after branch into ex
istence to meet with th- approval of
countless thousands of families who
found in these stores a new type of
service, good merchandise and values
of genuine merit.
The chain store idea, of which Mr.
George Huntington Hartford was the
founder, has rooted itself deep into
the hearts of the American public
and today, after sixty-nine years of
businaes life marked by continual
progress, The Great Atlantic A Pa
cific Tea Company, is grocer exemp
lar to almost every state in the Union.
Canada is now under development
by the Aftp chain and stores are be
ing opened at close intervals, in
Quebec and Ontario Here, as in the
United States, Aftp i s meeting with
the same genreoua ovation and fine
patronage as that accorded stores in
every community where new branches
appear.
It ha* been the custom for years,
for The Great Atlantic ft Pacific Tea
Company to fittingly mark each mile
stone in its history. As a means
of commemorating the Company's in
ception, gala sales are held .and the
public is cordially invited to help
celebrate at the "AAP Birthday
Party." Low prices on popular na
tionally advertised merchandise al
ways prevail, and local foods are
priced at a raving week in and week
out. but, during these special an
niversary events, greater values are
offered. Scores of price are brought
to lower levels in a week of anni
versary celebration.
The Great Atlantic ft Pacific Tea
Company announces that October
twenty-second to twenty-seventh,
inclusive, will mark the dates of this
year’» sale, and that the provision
made for this event promises to make
it the greatest ever held.
All local branches of the A4P
chain will take part in this great sale-
event.
j true and steadfast to the principles
J of Jeffersonian Democracy, and the
traditions of the South. I sincerely
! hope that our great and deserving
. nominee Governor Alfred E. Smith,
of New York, with his running mate,
| our own Southerner, Vice-Presiden-
I tial nominee may be sAiccessful on
I November Gth, next. Best wishes
j and kindnest regards to you all.
Very truly,
A. D. NISBET
To Th. F. F. Editor
Palmetto.— Editor Fellowship Fo-
j rum, Washington: Have just receiv.
your letter in which you make a plea
• for funds to circulate another 100,-
000 conies of your weekly sheet of
! narrow, squit-eyed religious bigotry
1 political propaganda, and sacrilege,
1 The Followship Forum. You have
{taken a shot at the wrong fellow if
| you think I am in sympathy with
your dastardly movement e? religious
1 prejudice, hatred and untruthfulness.
The Felowship Forum is a disgrace
1 to an intelligent citizenship and a
man woh is willing to live off the
prejudices of ignorance and hate, and
kindle the flame of intolerance in
man's spiritual life is not worthy the
respect of any honest man. To me
you are the most disreputable char-
, acter in American life.
I No! I will not give you one cent to
.spread your slimy material to defeat
: A1 Smith. A1 Smith is a good Chris
tian and you are a disreputable polit
ical henchman. If I had not intended
, to vote for AI Smith I would do it
now because of this slimy propaganda
| against his religious devotion to God.
I profoundly resent the statement
j you made in your letter to me of
Oct. 12th, when you class the great
people of Alabama, Georgia. Ken
tucky, Mississippi, North Carolina,
Virginia, Florida, Arkansas and Tex
as as a bunch of prejudiced morons.
The people of the South are on the
square and we are too intelligent to
let a alimp dastardly propaganda
poison our minds against the prin
ciples we have fought, bled and died
to achieve.
Don’t lose any more sleep over
your dream of slitting the Solid
South. Don’t strain your overworked
nerves to flood the South with your
political filth. We can do very well
without you or your kind.
My advice to you iaito take a bath,
ask God to forgive you and clean up
and be an American citizen.

SOUTH RICH IN NATURAL
RESOURCES
W. L. RITCHIE A MEMBER OF 1 riage licenses now.
THE DEMOCRATIC STATE
COMMITTEE
In a recent address before the
Southeast Shippers’ Advisory Board
at Biloxi, Mississippi, Mr. P. E. O'Dell
Vice-President and General Manager
of the Gulf. Mobile and .Northern
Railway, proposed a plan by which
the South could aeqaint Southern
people with it# resources and indus
trial possibilities and then curry the
message to the rest of the world.
In the current issue of HOL-
LAND’fi, "The Magazine of the
South,” Arthur Colenpn discusses
the value of organized effort in the
South’s recovery from the Civil War,
and its industrial growth wince that
time. He also points out some of
the resources and how they have been
developed until today the South pro
duces ninety-nine per cent of the
nation’s cotton, sulphur, phosphate,
carbon black, graphite and bauxite;
ninety-three per cent of its asphalt
and two-thirds of its petroleum: until
today they hold in their hand* more
than a fifth of the nation’® wealth,
a sixth of its manufactured products
and a half of its cotton manufactured
products.
Sixty-three years. Only a fourth
of the South’s age. And yet in that
fourth i: has labored and built and
regained more than half the power
that it held at the end of the first
three-fourths; until in 1927, with an
estimated population of only 40,175,-
000, it produced 176.6 per cent more
cotton products value. 81.8 per cent
more mineral products value and
made 681.8 per cent more highway
expenditures than did the entire
United State#, with 75,994, 000 popu.
lation and practically all the coun
try’s wealth in 1900.
It is a dazing, amazing, AlaSclin-
like narrative, this story of the New
South. It is almost incomprehensible
that a people could surge upward
from the very pits of despair and ruin
and, in one lifetime, center the at
tention of a nation on themselves;
make such gigantic strides in manu
facturing and other development at>
to attract the interest and capital of
a nation to whom big business is
open book: and still stand forth in
the security of the knowledge that
the resources of the New South are
but partially explored, little known,
fractionally developed—a people and
a land with all the charm of tradition
and blood and breeding of the old,
now fresh and vibrant with the vigor
and courage of the new.
Mr. W. L. Ritchie, of Millcdgevlile,
has been appointed a member of the
.State Democratic Committee from
the State at large.
Mr. Ritchie was an enthusiastic-
supporter of Gov. L. G. Hardman in
all of his campaigns, and was a dele
gate to the State Convention from
this county.
He was unable to attend the meet
ing of the Committee, which was held
in Atlanta Saturday.
