The company's Iron clad policy of
honesty—honest merchandise, hon
est prices, honest weight and it's
willingness to co-operate with ev
ery forward movement of the city
In which it Is located has been pri
marily responsible for it's phenom
enal growth.
It's founder, John Huntington
Hartford, und his son. John A.
Hartford, who is now president of
the company, believed that no stone
should remain unturned In their ef
fort to satisfy and please their cus
tomers, consequently as the busi
ness grew, tea and coffee planta
tions. salmon fisheries, canning
plants, fruit orchards, sugar planta
tlonsa whole net work of allied in
dustries were acquired In order that
A. & I J . quality products might be
supplied —to customers at lowest
possible cost. A foreign office is
now located In London through
which all foreign products aro
bought for shipment to Amer
ica, exclusively for A. & I’.. Stores.
The president, Mr. Hartford, al
ways steered clear of Wall street,
lie had vast sums of money from
his own business and did not need
to borrow money, consequently, it
Is only In the last few years that
the financial world has waked up
to the tremendous volume of busi
ness done by A. & P.
Then Wall street began to look
around to see how it could §et into
this money making affair. Even
Henry Ford had been obliged to fi
nance himself .by sales of stock.
liut Wall street soon found the A.
& P. was a closed corporation. Mr.
Hartford owned all the stock and
ho was In no mood to let any get
away from \him.
When John Huntington Hartford
died eight years ago, he left all his
A. & P. stock holdings to his fam
ily. Just six persons now own the
corporation which makes millions
each year.
John A. Hartford, of New York,
his son, 45 years old, is now the
principal stockholder. The father
provided In his will that the stock
should not pass out of the family.
There is an issue of preferred
stock, having no voting power
which Is held chiefly by the em
ployes of the company. Even tlir
preferded stock is not listed on any
stock exchange.
For nbout a dozen years the A. &
V. Stores sold nothing hut tea and
coffee. Mr. Hartford was an inge
lnous salesman as well as a good
financier and for years the A. & I*.
Stores had a long list of premium
schemes to stimulate buying. It
was the first store to put out a
premium system. This was KG’ l
up for years until finally the busi
ness grew too big to continue
premiums nnd prizes. '
For years the A. & P. Stores, al
though the pioneers in the chain
store business, wore little known In
the country at large. Mr. Hart
ford refused to go Into debt to start
a new store. For this reason few
people realize that the A. & I ■
Stores were started before tho
Civil War.
Each A. & r. Store today is an
exact copy as far as outward ap
pearance is concerned, of the first
New York store started by Mr
Hartford, even the exact shade of
his first red paint had been hand
ed down. ...
Incidentally. Mr. Hartford once
said thaht he had received more
criticism about the glaring red paint
used for the front bf his stores than
anything else, and this made him
only more determined to stick to
the red paint.

EVASION POLICY
OF G. 0. P. GIVEN
AS REAL REASON
(Continued from Page One)
Tuesday. The Hudson county. New
Jersey trades council, endorsed the
democratic platform and its eandl
dafes. This was followed by the
endorse merit of the International
Printing Pressmen and Assistant’s
Union by the building trades or
ganizations and numerous others.
Now. right here in New York, where
the issues are well understood,
President Sullivan and his asso
ciates publicly proclaim that “par
ties and men nre to be Judged by
past performances.”
"STANDS SQUARELY
ON ITS RECORD”
"I welcome that assertion. The
democratic party stands squarely on
its record and my confidence In the
Intelligence and character of the
American people persuade me that
‘scarecrows' and 'bogey men’ will
"ot turn them from the path of
duty. .
“This nation is threatened today
vastly more by reaction and privi
lege than by radicalism. Radicalism
will Indeed grow in proportion to
the blind greed for money and the
improper use of the prfwer of
money. I. therefore, call for volun
teers from among all those who
love their country more than party,
who are influenced more by princi
ple than prejudice and who have an
abiding faith in the ideals that has
made this nation morally and ma
terially great, to he united in efforts
to overcome the menace and greed
and class materialism.
“Our prosperity is, indeed, threat
ened not because the republican
tenure of office is menaced, but by
the undermining of confidence for
which the Coolidge administration
is responsible. There can be no
healthy prosperity without confi
dence because confidence is the
foundation of prosperity. This ad
ministration which seeks to con
tinue in power has not only under
mined the confidence of tho people
in their government, but as the
passing of dividends, the reduction
of wages and the increase in unem
ployment show the prosperity of
the country has already begun to
diminish. Confidence can only he
restored, extreme radicalism can
only be avoided by removing those
who place material about moral
values.
“There are those supporting the
LaFollette tiftket who prefer revol
ution to remedy. To them I have
nothing to say. The great majority,
however, who are undoubtedly sin
cere, were led to believe that the
surest way to defeat Coolidge was
to vote for LaFollette. I call to
their attention tho hopelessness of
their fight, I remind them that they
are for subtracting from the great
force opposed to the Coolidge ad
ministration. That administration
will be voted out of power next
Tuesday. Of that I am sure there is
no question.
LABOR'S PART IN
LaFOLLETTE FUND
IS BEING PROBED
Continued From Page One
tional committee, the federation se
cretary said the treasury of the
American Federation of Labor now
had $230,000.
•‘And you say none of that has
been contributed to the LaFolletto
fund?”
“yes.”
"No appeal has heen sent to any
of the affiliated unions in Canada.*
“It mfeht have been sent by mis
take.”
“Did your organization receive
by mistake or otherwise any con
tribution from Canada, to help the
progressive movement?”
“Not that X know of.”
“Isn't it n fact that appeals were
sent out to international organiza
tions ns such.”
"Yes.”
"Yes.”
“And you suy no appeal was sent
to Canada?”
Instructions were Issued that no
appeals for the campaign should be
sent to Canada.
“Were any organizations In Can
ada invited to come to this country
to take part in political cam
paigns?”
“No sir.”
Reading extracts from editorials
by Samuel Oompers appearing In
the American federationist, Bour
land asked if it was'nt a fart that
the American Federation of Labor
has put into this campaign ns
such ?**
"The American Federation of
Labor is not any more in this cam
paign than it has been In years—
conducting a non-partisan cam
paign.” Morrison said. Bourland
then asked If the witness didn't ex
pect n “financial return” to or
ganized labor through the con
struction the Independent candi
dates would place on the Clayton
act if elected.
"The question of the action of
the supreme court is the basis for
our wishes to have the judges
elected by the people," Morrison re
plied.
. GEOi'uE BARRETT
Klwanian George Barrett gave n
very interesting talk at the club
luncheon Thursday In telling of
some of the places he visited during
the papt summer while on a Euro
pean tour. Mr. Barrett’s time being
limited, he chose to tell only of
“Thursday experiences" while he
was abroad, chosing fhls day of the
week In his travels for the basis of
his talk because it Is on Thursdays
that the Kiwanians gather for the
weekly luncheon.
Mr. Barrett had the good fortune
to attend the king's garden party
while in London and his description
of the affair was most entertaining.
He said that he was somewhat dis.
appointed in the appearance of the
king. “In fact. I felt sorry for the
king, for he Is not the regal ap
pearing person I thought to find
him.” said Mr Barrett. "The queen,
on the ft her hand," continued Mr.
Barrett "justified her .title, for she
is every hit the regal looking wom
an that a queen should be. and is
not near so disagreeable looking
as her pictures lead one to think.”
Mr. Barrett’s talk was necessarily
just a ’ skimming’’ of his expe
riences. hut was highly entertaining
even in outline. He dsclares he en
joyed every bit of the wa>» and ell
of the Interesting nnd historic places
he visited and while at Monte Carlo
Mr. Barrett played the "two-bit"
pocket and came out several quar
ters to the good, he said.
The club gave a rousing welcome
to Klwanian Ashury Hull on his re
appearing at the meeting after en
forced absence because of illness of
several weeks.

A fair or festival in Augusta
without the famous country store
would not seem natural and as at
the first annual fall festival, the
United Commercial Travelers of
this city will again have charge of
the country store at the second fes
tival to be held under the direction
of the Augusta Exchange Club dur
ing the week of November 10. Each
year the Exchange Club grants to
the U. C. T. the privilege of operat
ing a store on the festival grounds
which always proves one of the
outstanding features of the week.
Last fall the store, stocked with
every sort ot household commvodity
from a paper of pins to a ton of
coal, reported a rushing business
and thousands of useful articles
were given away as prizes. At the
coming festival the Knights of the
Bag are planning larger and more
fully stocked store than ever be
fore. There will be no blanks. Ev
erp person who purchases a chnneee
will receive some useful article,
some valued as high as ten dollars.
The Augusta U. C. T. Is now bus
ily engaged in whipping together
plans and gathering stock to equip
the store. Committee-* nre work
