And Now, MIR. HaZen.
Where's That Rose?

Attention Commissioner Melvin
G. Hazen!
You may have discovered that
the American Beauty rose is the
official flower of the National
Capital, but can you discover any
specimen of the flower in the
city?
The chances are you cannot.
For the truth Of the matter is,
Mr.. Hazen, that despite the fact
that the beautiful rose, one-time
queen of all flowers, is the official
flower of this fair city, the best
authorities have it that there isn't
one to be found here in any pub
lie place.
Of course, there may be a few
individual private gardeners, who
grow them in their backyards, but
otherwise, they just aren't grown
any more in these parts.

answer as to what would be-
come of the tranSientS after the
deadline.
When the Berwyn project first
was discussed, Commissioner Allen
persuaded RRA officials to en-
ploy the locally lodged transients
Of the project.
It was at first planned to build
a camp for transientS and other
workers on the project site. How
ever citizens in the Berwyn and
neighboring communities voiced
vigorous objection to this plan.
Take over Lodges
On the heels of these OBJ
jections, the RRA decided to
take over from the District the
local transient lodges, house the
tranSients in them during the
work on the project and trans
port them to and from Berwyn
daily by train.
In this way, the District freed
itself of the most serious relief
problem" without expending one
cent. Commissioner Allen pointed
out it was also advantageous to
the District since the money paid
to the transient workers on the
project would be spent with local
merchants.
The Washington times., 1935-10-31

The outstanding nurseries,
which once grew them by the
thousands, don't grow them be-
cause they've deteriorated.
Florists have to import them
from nurseries in Philadelphia or
Chicago if any of their customers
feel inclined to pay the price for
them.
They aren't grown in any of
the numerous parks in the
Capital, and even the Botanic
Garden doesn't have anything to
do with them.
The American Beauty rose was
originated in Washington about
so years ago by John Grady, a
gardner. It may have been be-
cause Of this that it was adopted
in 1925 as the official flower Of
the District,

Commissioner George E. Allen

All the transients will be given

take custody of Washington to-

will gather for their gambol.
To the tunes Of Is bands, the

who as jeanette Williams was
chosen as the most fascinating
Of the candidates for the post.
Ghosts Must Behave
Joy may be unconfined to-

to mar property, public or pri-

with indiscriminate doorbell ring
ers, flour throwers, and those
caught tampering with lire

FAMOUS GEORGE RECTOR PLANS APP MENUS
Chain Stores Reduce

margin Of profit on each sale
rather than a smaller volume at
a higher profit.
"The advantages of better
merchandise methods, added to
those of direct quantity purchas-
ing, which in the main have
been passed on to the consumer,
are responsible for the position
which the chain store has as
sumed in the business world Of
today.
Increased taxation on food
stores can mean only one thing:
customers will have to pay
higher prices for food. You can't
see yourselves voting to do that
can you? The fact that eaters
are voters is your protection
against paying too high prices
for food. One dollar out of
every 10 spent in food stores
goes for taxes now. Would you
vote to pay mOre?"
The Washington times., 1935-10-15

Chain stores mean lower costs
for the consumer.
The A&P stores, as we'll as
other chains, prefer to sell large
volume of merchandise at a small
profit. This plan has been proven
to be more advantageous alike to
the company and the customer,
according to an A&P official.
Commenting on this phase of
A&P operation, he said:
"Direct sources Of supply and
rapid turnover mean fresher
merchandise and smaller losses
from spOilage, and by pursuing
the hand -tO-m mouth policy, which
is a recognized principle of some
of the largest and most efficient

APP QUALITY
GUARDED BY
SCIENCE

In each APP manufacturing
plant the Quality Control system
is strictly adhered to.
A complete chemical laboratory
equipped with approved modern
instruments, and manned by
graduate food chemists whose life
work is food analysis, is the cor
nerstone of this system. Expen-
Sive, yes, but absolutely essential
to the production Of uniformly
high quality foods.
The moment a freight car
loaded with raw foodstuffs comes
putting into the Quaker Maid sid
ing, the Quality control group
gets to work. Representative sam
Piles of the raw materials, choice
products of farm and field. Spe-
cially purchased by critical
Quaker Maid buyers in every cor
ner of the country, are taken and
rushed to the laboratory.
Standards High
There the searching eye of
science examines, weighs, probes
and grades. If these materials
do not meet U. S. Government
standards-or the often higher
Quaker Maid Standards-they are
returned to the shipper.
1t might almost be said that
Quaker Maids laboratory experts,
the men in charge of the opera,
ton of the Quality Control sys-
tenn, are paid to be supercritical.
Literally, these men are profeS-
Sional fault-finders. After they
have passed on the raw materials
that go into Quaker Maid foods,
they are not content. Each cook
ing process is sampled, analyzed
for purity, quality and food value.
A laboratory 20. X" must be OBJ
tanned before the next process
goes forward.
Expense Kept Down
In spite of the expensive Quail
ity Control system employed in
all Quaker Maid plants, Quaker
Maid foods are not only no more
expensive than other brands, but
often much less expensive. This
is due to the fact that the entire
output of all Quaker Maid plants
is sold directly to the Great At
lantic and Pacific Tea Company,
and through their more than 15,-
900 stores, direct to the consumer.
Naturally. this not only cuts sell
ing costs to minimum, but ma
terially reduces distributing and
shipping expenses. This worth
while saving is passed on to the
100000 daily customers of the
neighborhood A&P food stores.
