ing were particularly evident with
regard TO poultry, which only in re-
cent years has gone beyond its ira
ditional role OF holiday dinner -
He pointed out that when the A q p
first started selling poultry. ducks
were purchased by comparatively
few families, but as a result OF the
companys cooperation with the
Long Island Duck Producers. there
is today an outstanding demand for
this item The company was the
first 10 bring country fresh killed
chickens TO consumers in many
markets and the result OF this &C
tivity has not only been increased
consumption OF poultry and better
returns TO growers, but increased
demand on the part OF consumers
for fresh killed fowl. he said.
I'VE feel that we are in no small
way responsible for the improved
grading and handling OF fresh killed
chickens" Mr.. O'Donnell said. be
cause of our insistence upon high
standards of quality.
About ten years ago turkeys sold
only at Thanksgiving and Christ
mas holidays and butchers had to
charge enormous prices. Immedi-
ately after the first OF the year tur-
keys went into cold storage for
the next year. We began TO feature
turkeys all the year round at
prices In line with other fowl, and
as a result more and more families
are eating turkeys and the produc-
ers have benefited greatly. Amer
leans ate 26.000,O00 turkeys in 1888
as against 10000 600 in 1929. Year
round distribution has enabled the
farmers to improve the eating quail
ity OF turkeys by converting the In
dustry from barnyard production
basis TO specialized branch OF
agriculture
The same insistence upon quality
purchasing and low-cost mass dis
tribution has characterized the com
pany's activities since il began to
distribute meat, Mr. O'Donnell said.
He cited as a particular contribu-
ton the effective way in which the
A & p increased consumption Of
sliced bacon by bringing it down
from the luxury class.
81 recall that when we first start
ed to distribute fish through our
stores, the great majority of Amer
leans had to go to the seacoast in
order TO enjoy sea food.
Mr.. o Donnell said that the ma
tons mass distributors had per.
formed yeoman service in distrib-
uting dairy products. He pointed
out that the A & p maintains a
force of expert butter makers who
constantly visit creameries, and that
the company also maintains a small
creamery for experimental pur-
poses.
Similarly. he said, the company's
cheese department has constantly
recommended and promoted the
sale of "cured" cheese. and that In
the operation of its own refrigerated
cheese warehouses it has been able
to buy and cure its own cheese
thereby making a uniform quality
available the year round.

to northern markets In carlots dur
ing the winter months. Further,
our promotional activities along
these lines have encouraged con.
sumers to use fresh fruits and veg
etables on a year-round basis and
have benefited both farmers and
consumers.
Broccoli, string beans, peas, let
tuce, tomatoes. oranges, grapefruit,

OF the many fresh fruits and veg
etables which were unheard OF in
northern winters some years back,
but which even families in the most
modest circumstances can enjoy to-
day. Strawberries in January is q
particularly dramatic example OF
this development and one for which
We feel we are largely responsible.
The per capita consumption OF let
tuce has increased 300 per cent In
the last twenty years and nine
times as many peas are eaten"
Recalling the days when an
orange was seldom seen during win
ter months except in the toe OF a
Christmas stocking" Mr.. O'Donnell
said that mass merchandising has
been particularly effective in in
creasing consumption OF citrus
fruits. In the past twenty years
consumption OF oranges has more
than doubled. he said.
Canned citrus fruits and juices
are among the most recent addi-
tons to the daily American diet.
We were the first distributors OF
canned grapefruit. and the effec-
tiyeness of our activities in offer
ing this product at reasonable
prices is indicated by the fact that
canned citrus fruits and juice now
rank among the first four or five
items in point Of volume and dis
tribution in our entire canned food
line"
Mr.. O'Donnell said that the bene-
fits derived by both producers and
consumers from mass merchandis.

A girl approached them.-a slim,
graceful creature with flame-col-

there was something about her
that attracted Toni.
She smiled at X, and bowed
slightly. Would have passed on, but
x intercepted her:
"Just a moment, Coral. l want

Mrs. Cotton. This is Miss Merri-

Mass Merchandising Brings
Luxury Foods to Americans

merchandising resulted in the open
ing OF new stores and the introduc-
ton OF additional foodstutfs. The
new mass merchandising principles
were applied TO coffee and they
were so effective that the A. & p.
today operates its own plantations
in Brazil, and imports, roasts. and
distributes one out OF every seven
pounds Of coffee used by American
consumers.
IN the next three decades our
company gradually expanded their
line from coffee, tea and spices
to include other groceries, always
with a view to bringing more foods
to more consumers" Mr.. O'Donnell
said. by 1854 we were distributing
sugar. By 1890 baking powder, but
ter and extracts had been added
to our stock. Year by year We
brought a constantly widening va
riety of foodstuffs 10 the American
public.
probably our greatest contribu-
ton to a healthful American diet
was the part we played in making
fresh fruits and vegetables avail
able the year round. II is not many
years since the average home was
limited to canned and dried fruits
and vegetables during the fall and
winter months. The quantity of
fresh fruits and vegetables pro-
duced throughout the country now

to our coming into this field shows
a tremendous increase. particularly
in the southern states whose pro
