Visitors outplayed the locals

Hayes, center for the Ponce De

of the game. He sank four field

successfully. He was followed by
Tomlinson, forward, with four
field goals. III
1t was the worst game the
Conchs have played since the

has full sway here.
The doorway or main entrance to

Chain Store Growth
Paralleled Rise OF
Quality Food Names

Development of standard quality.
branded foodstuffs paralleled the rise
OF chain stores in the United States.
Mr. Hogewood, vice president of the
Southern Division Of The Great At
lantic & Poetic Tea Company said
today in reporting on the Parade
of Progress" promotion of national
ly known grocery brands by the
APP.
Until mass distribution, as prac-
ticed by chain stores, came into be-
ing eighty years ago, there were few
nationally known food brands" Mr..
HogeWoOd said. Individual retail
ers bought from local manufacturers
and wholesalers and sold locally, and
the consumer moving from city to
city had no standard names of
quality goods to guide her In each
new city she had to learn anew the
quality Of the various local brands"
According to Mr.. Hogewood, Mr..
George Huntington Hartford inau-
gurated the method that changed this
situation when he opened the first
store of what is now the Great At
lantic & Pacific Tea Company in
New York City in 1859. In launch
ing the system of mass distribution,
Mr.. Hertford standardized the quality
OF his goods, Mr.. HogeWood said, be-
cause the reputation of his growing
organization depended on uniform
quality.
Mr.. Hogewood said that in 1859,
when Mr.. Hartford opened his first
store, the time was ripe for such a
move. A network of railroads was
spreading across the nation, linking
distant cities; newspapers were ex-
panding and developing the tech
nique of advertising. With these de-
velopments came the growth of the
great grocery manufacturers" Mr.
Hogewood said, turning out prod
ucts of standard quality and pro-
noting them, at first sectionally, and
later nationally" Meanwhile, he said,
the ALP, following its policy of in
sisting on high quality, was educat-
ing buyers to the value of brand
names in determining the quality of
foodstuffs, and other chain stores
adopted like policies.
To-day, in the Parade of Pro-
gress', the ALP is cooperating with
manufacturers in again bringing
home to the public the quality stand
ards of nationally known brands"
Mr.. Hogewood said, standards hail
ed by consumer leaders as protecting
the average housewife in her daily
purchases of food"

terms were for only two as result
of the ''stagger" system when the
commissions ten members were ap-
pointed simultaneously under the
new set-up provided by the 1887
General Assembly.
At that time four members were
named to serve two years, three to
serve four years and the other three
to serve six. In future all appoint
ments will be for six years.
So far as has become apparent,
there was no special fight made
against the reappointment of any
member of the quartet whose COM
missions were renewed. During the
pre-Assembly campaign for speaker
ship of the House, Mr.. Mckee was
quite freely criticised in some quart
ers because of his alleged activities in
behalf of Victor S. Bryant, of Dur
ham, who finally lost out to Libby
Ward by only two votes.
Naming of the four highway COM
missioners left Governor Hoey with
no important appointing to do until
July 1 when terms of all six special
judges will expire. Despite consider
able and vigorous criticism of the
oubernatorial action in appointing A.
Hall johnson lest week to a Judge
ship vacancy, it now seems likely
that the governor will rename the
