At POLE

Comdr. Richard e. Byrd has been
careful to select experts to handle
every phase of his two years Of ex-
ploratory work In the frozen wastes
Of the great Antarctic. Each man
aboard the three ships of the ex-
pedition is an expert, whether his
individual calling be that of sea
man, navigator, aviator or cook. 1t
took months to assemble Com.
mander Byrd's crew and staff of
scientists. And it has taken no less
time to provision the fleet of three
ice-ships for the long months of
gruelling adventure.
Commander Byrd selected his men
with care. 1t was imperative that
each member of his party be highly
skilled in the work to be entrusted
to his care. Sydney Greason was
selected from a long list of appli--
cants to assume the duties OF chief
steward. To Mr.. Greason fell the
responsibility of provisioning the ex-
pedition. Working with him, as

ENTIRE COFFEE
CROPSBOUCH:T

When you are amazed by the
announcement that coffee-or any
other food item-takes a tremen-
dous drop in price. do you some-
times wonder at the suddenness and
the reason for It?
The answer is simple. A COM
pany as tremendous as the Great
Atlantic and Pacific Tea Company
is sure to find every short cut and
every saving for it's customers by
buying in such quantities as will
make these reductions possible.
On coffee, for instance, this COM
pany maintains its own buying
office right in the heart of the
richest plantation section IN South
America and contracts for whole
crops of the choicest grades at fig.
ures entirely independent of the
American coffee market. And 1t
does the same thing with other food
commodities.
