RETAIL CR0CERS
IN CONVENTION
Americanism Was the Key
note of Addresses at Open
ing Session Now Being
Held in Salt Lake City.

Salt Lake City, June 23.-Ameri-
eanism was the keynote of address
es at the opening session of the an
nual convention OF the National Re-
tail Grocers' association here. Close
to 500 leading retail food dealers
of the country are in attendance
at the sessions, which will conclude
Thursday.
Reesta blishment of the retail
grocers' business on an ante-bellum
basis was urged by John H. Schaef-
er, president, who said in his ad-
dress to the convention that in his
opinion supposedly better methods
of doing business originated in
Washington during the war, were a
fiat failure" Mr. Schaefer also con
demned the practice of fixing re-
tail price cost of manufacturers and
wholesalers.
Leon NJ. Hattenbach, Denver,
who discussed Cash and carry.
credit and delivery" said the cash
and carry plan would be successful
in limited field but the other
method of retail dealers of credit
and delivery continue to hold sway.
Reports of state officials took
most of the afternoon and at night
the annual banquet of the "aspara-
gus club" at which numerous
stunts" were perpetuated, kept the
grocers in good humor. Business
sessions are scheduled for both
morning and afternoon, Tuesday
and Wednesday, with electing Off
GERS and adjournment Thursday.
