not pointing directly to God we

Memory of George Huntington
Hartford, the Chain Store Founder

Memory of George Huntington
Hartford, the Chain Store Founder
A. & P, celebrating Founders
Week, honors the memory of
George Huntington Hartford, a
down east Yankee who revolution
lied the retail food business.
Young Hartford, coming to New
York in the late 1850's found him
self in a position to buy a shipload
of tea, thereby cutting out many
expensive profits which were
normally involved in such a trans
action. AS a result, Hartford was
able to offer the tea at retail at
about half the usual price. Though
many other concerns have adopted
the methods instituted by Hart
ford, it remains for A & p to honor
his memory with a special week
when both employees and custom
ers are reminded of the methods
he instituted.

CANNERY ENDS

evaporated the latter fruit but lat
er it gave up the peach end of it
and devoted itself exclusively to
tomatoes after 1875. Its average
yearly pack for the last thirty
years has been around 10000 cases
or 100000 cans. The annual con-
sumption of raw tomatoes has
been during that period from 1O0,-
900 to 125,000 five-eighths baskets,
for which the tomato growers in
the neighborhood of Smyrna re-
ceived about $4,000, to say moth
ing about the wage distribution to
the cannery employees. In short, it
has been a never-failing God-send
to both the farmers and the pro-
cessors. Walter o. Hoffecker, who
not only succeeded his father as
Representative in Congress but also
as president of the j. H. Hoffecker
Canning Company, had no idea he
was going to die. He said his ma
ternal and paternal grandmothers
had lived to be between go and 100
years old and he saw no reason
why he should not live as long. In
anticipation of better times this
year and of making a big pack, af-
ter the disastrous 1888 season,
made disastrous by the August
storm, he put workmen in the
plant, overhauled it thoroughly
and, after he had put it in the pink
of condition for the 1884 season,
settled back to await busy year.
Death, however, overlook him.
His natural successor as president
of the company would have been
mis- brother-in-law, Hervey P. Hall,
the secretary, treasurer and man
ager. Mr.. Halls health had fail
ed, however, and it was decided af-
ter conference with William M
Hope, of Dover, executor of the
Walter o. Hoffecker estate, that
this 66-year-old heritage Of the
Hoffecker family no longer could
be run by it and must be given up.
Just what will become of the plant !
now is a wide-open question that !
is agitating the farmers and can
merry workers in and about Smyr-
ma. 1t also excites much interest
among members of the Tri-State
Gamers Association of which Mr..
Hoffecker was president for many
years.
