his was regarded as the largest
wholesale grocery house In the city
and state His business was left TO
his two sons. Morton Harvey and
Holstein Harvey. Jr

public Is now demanding that the
middleman's profits be eliminated
and that the cost OF the necessities
Of life be reduced 20 minimum
and seeing no future for the whole
sale grocer. they closed out their
business.
Holsteni Harvey. Inc. a new cor
poration having nothing TO do with
the old corporation. was formed
under a new method OF distributing
food products to the consuming
public.
Holstein Harvey. Inc, Is owned
I and operated by 4O1 OF the best re-
{ tail grocers in this part OF the coun-
/ try. Through their manager and
! executive committee (which is ap-
pointed by the board OF directors
and which serves without pay) they
succeeded. in the short period Of one
year. in becoming the largest dis
tributor OF food products and to-
baccos in the city and State with
sales last years Of s1,O6O,661.s6 and
with a net worth Of $4,000.
These 4Oi retail grocers have
Joined this company during the past
year because they are able 10 buy
their requirements from the manu-
facturer direct using Hoistein Har-
vey Inc. their own company, only
as a distributor, running with a min
lmum Of expense and without profit
10 the company All middlemen's
