The question of diet has re-
ceived an increasing amount of
attention from the world of
medicine and allied sciences and,
indeed, from the general public,
in the past few years.
Until recent times, mans diet
was controlled largely by the
seasons. In the summer dwellers
in the temperate zones could
have the fresh fruits and vege-
tables, so rich in iron and vita
Minis, that now are known to be
necessary to sparkling health.
But in the winter, the man
whose home was in a cold eli
mate had to be content with
meats and dried or canned vege-
tables and fruits. These, while
nouriShing, lacked many of the
health-giving properties that make
fresh foods desirable.
Shoppers at stores Of the Great
Atlantic and Pacific Tea Company
have no difficulty in keeping their
diet up to a healthful standard
regardless of the season. Through

"But for a long time after

tor truck for city deliveries, long
after the auto became a prac-

The good old days" are recalled
vividly by ]. T. Patten, oldest liV-
ing member of the organization OF
the Great Atlantic and Pacific
Tea Company, which is Celebrat'
ing it's seventy-fifth anniversary.
Recalling old-time problems OF
transportation, Mr.. Patten reml,
niSceS:
"The red wagon trail blaZed
by horse drawn wagons through
the hub-deep mud of the high
ways of the last half of the
1SOO's pioneered the way for the
modern system Of food diStribu-
tion. Horses, though rarely
given credit, played as impOr-
tant q part in the development
of modern food distribution as
they did in settling the West.
BUSINESS VOLUME
"In the 187O's when l started
in the grocery business, trans
pOrtation wasn't as good as it
is now. Many of our customers
could not get to the stores for
their supplies. But then as
now, our company believes that
large volume of business results
in reduced prices. This volume
was obtained by mail, and by
sending supplies to outlying GUS
toners in these little red, horse
drawn wagons.
"The routes of these wagons
radiated from the stores in the
cities like the spOkeS in wheel.
Each wagon would start off
loaded, delivering the tea and
coffee ordered a week before,
taking the orders for the week
after from the housewives along
the route. These early A&P
wagon routes, of course, had to
struggle through knee-deep mud
and snow, ford streams; fight
their way through. But they
were welcome when they ar
rived, for they not only brought
