Managers Are Food Experts.
The management of the enterprise has
been placed in the hands of Mr.. c. H.
Green and Mr.. E. ]. Rowe. Both of the
managers are generally accredited with be-
ing food experts and both possess wide
range of information essential to the sue
cess of an enterprise of the nature. For
several weeks they have been associated
with Mr.. Charles ]. Magil secretary of the
Retail Grocers' Protective Association, in
perfecting the details of the enterprise Mr..
Green and Mr.. Rowe have conducted similar
shows in New York, Boston, Brooklyn, Bal
tmore, Providence and nearly all of the
large eastern cities.
Everybody who buys groceries here knows
what the Retail Grocers' Protective Asso-
citation is and what it stands for in local
finance and trade. Organized for the pur-
pose of protecting the retail grocers against
the practices of vendors who thrust upon
the market impure food products, 1t has de-
veloped into a powerful organization, with
one supreme object that in protecting and
safeguarding the rights of the legitimate
retail dealers they at the same time pro-
tect and safeguard the consumers. One Of
pure FOODS to the consumer at stable prices.
Growth of Association.
Beginning in a small way four years ago,
the association has grown to large proper
tons and comprises in its membership be-
tween 400 and 500 retail grocers. During it's
brief career it has accomplished much and
has exerted an influence for good in the
community that can be surpassed by few
pr-pr ami tiTr1 h9c fran a0t lXr haan of
valuable assistance TO the authorities in the
prosecution of persons and corporations for
the distribution and sale of food products
of an impure and injurious character. The
local association was strenuous advocate
of the passage of the pure food law, and
when that measure was up for coitSidera-
ton before Congress at it's last session, the
leaders of the organization were in the fore
front working for it's enactment. They be-
lieVe that the food show in the ro?e of edu-
Gator on this all-important topic will turn
the attention of the people directly to the
question at issue and the demonstration at
the food show or various foodStuffs may be
expected to arouse a lively interest in the
matter.
The association has endeavored to place
on view at the food show most represent
tative display Of all that charactersticaliy
marks American achievements in domestks
arts, and those that most adequately show
the excellence of our natural food products
in pure and unaduiterated form. The asso-
citation believes In the memorable rule OF
the survival of the titteSt," and in this
age of keen and fierc rivalry the positive
results of the maxim, they believe, will
work out the salvation of the fair and hon.
est retail dealer who, to succeed, does not
employ unfair business methods to win the
plaudits or patronage of the people.
