HOWARD BUTT
Wins HONORS


A fine tribute to Howard Butt or
Harltngen and the Valley, recently
elected president OF the National
Piggly WigEly Operators associa-
ton, Is contained IN the latest Is
sue Of The Weekly Turnstile,"
publication Of the Piggy WieRly
corporation In the interest or PiRFlv
Wiggly men throughout the world.
In an editorial comment on the
election OF Mr.. Butt, the Turnstile
says that with Howard Butt as
president, the association Is assured
c forceful direction coupled with
good common sense
The feature story OF the issue
contains the following account OF
the new president Of the Operators
association:
Howard Butt does more serious.
straight-thinking than most men.
despite his slow smile 50 seldom
absent from his face. He takes his
work and his duties to his EMPLOYEES
and the public seriously at all
times, though lie will joke and
poke fun at brother Operators free
~ enough. Still q young man, Mr.
Butt Is q living example OF the
American idea OF individual free
dom Of opportunity. From next to
nothing he has built one OF the
strongest retail food organizations
In the Southwest. He did a. not
through inherited wealth or oppor-
tunity, but by hard work, study OF
his problems, saving and invest
m~lt. Starting with one small
store run by himself and his moth
er, he has built up 20 fine retail
stores across the Lone Star State.
"A sentimentalist. perhaps, he still
operates the first store, though big
ger and better stores have followed
1t In the intervening years.
Not content with just q group OF
stores operated In the ordinary way.
Butt has also built I'D major
warehcusing facilities at Harrington,
Corpus Christi and Del Rio, with
smaller warehouses at ether CEN
ters- He owes much of his success
to his ability to work with men, To
command their respect and loyalty.
In each Of his units he has sought
-successfully-to create a sclf-sus-
tanning, self-sufficient organization.
That means men with initiative and
ability. and Mr.. Butts ability To
choose and train such men Is a by
word throughout Texas.
In line with his idea that any
man owes a duty to his commun-
ity and to his business, Mr.. Butt
has engaged in two major activities
outside OF his own organization. One
OF these was the creation, q year
ago. OF the Butt Foundation, q
charitable organization endowed by
the founder. The other sphere was
in service to the retail food indus
try. Very recently his leadership
In Texas food distribution was Of
ficially recognized when he was
elected President OF the Texas Re-
tail Merchants Association, en-
bodying almost all retail lines and
active In promoting better distribu-
ton and better distributing condi-
tons In both food and other retail
lines.
Mrs. Butt and two charming chill
dren add the final touch to this
account Of the new President Of the
Operators Association Young,
beautiful, accomplished. Mrs. Butt
has been not only a wife but part
ner In her husbands work. AT con-
ventions she has proved herself q
capable and willing aid in organiz-
ing activities for the ladies and
seeing that they enjoyed the visit
as much as their husbands"
