Why.D Destroy APP?

This suit was brought under the antitrust laws. These are good laws. They were
passed about Fifty years. ago to prevent any company, ora my group OF companies.
from getting a monopoly ina field and then raising prices to the public.
A&P has " done any of these things
Nobody has ever shown that we have anything even approaching a monopol
of the food business. anywhere AS very Housewife knows, the retail groci
business is the most competitive in the country nd we 10 only a small part of it,
Nobody has ever said we charged too high prices - just the opposite. This
whole attack nes out of the fact that we SELL good food too cheap. w would
not have had m of this trouble If insead of lowering pnces we had r..ed
hem IN pocketed tn Indifference.
Nobody has ever said that our profit rate was toe high. During the past i've
years our nett profit after taxes mas averaged about lac OF every dollar OF
Sales which is less ana almost any other business you can think oil.
The American people have shown that they like III lowprce policy by coming
to or stores to dc their shopping If APP is big. it is because the American
people. by their patronage, have made it big.
Obviously, it is the theory of the antitrust lawyers that the people have no right
paronize a company if their patronage will make that company grow: and
that any big business must be destroyed simply because it is big, and even if the
public gets hurt in the process.
The Chronicle-star combined with the Moss Point advertiser., 1949-09-23
Do You Want Higher Prices?

There is much more involved in this case than the future of A&P. The entire
American system of efficient lowcost low-proftd distribution which we pioneered,
will face destruction and the public will suffer
APP was the first chain store in this country. For more than ninety ears W. have
tried to build a sound business o the simple formula the founder gave us:
Give the people the most good food you can for their money" Year after year
we have tried % do a better job, make on business more efficient, and pass the
savings m to the consumer in the form of lower prices
Our efforts along these lines have led other srccers to keep their costs and
profits down.
In the old days before A&P. food that cost the grocer soc. often sold as high
as 81 90 at retail
Today, food that costs the grocer soc generally sells t o the public at less than zoe.
The methods we pioneered have been adopted lot only by other grocer. but
by merchants r other lines There are today literally hundreds of chain stores.
voluntary groups and individual merchants operating with the IN methods
and in the sam pattern here under attack.
1: the antitrust lawyers succeed in destroying APP. the way will be clear for
the destruction of every other efficient LrSescsle distributor.
The Chronicle-star combined with the Moss Point advertiser., 1949-09-23
What Shall We Do?

We admt. that the interests IF the owners of APP are of little Importance.
Frankly, they could make al enormous mou of money by breaking up A&P,
as the antitrust lawyers wish and selling off the parts.
But is this what the American people wanta D.. they agree with the antitrust
lawyers that or food prices are too low, and that we should be put u of the
picture sc other grocesc car charge morep
Frankly. if this wereh the case, we would not want to continue in business.
But we seriously doubt that this is the case. Twelve years ago, al effort wa
made to tax this company and other chain stores ut of business The public
rallied to or support. They said they liked our quality foods and or low prices.
AS a result of their opposition, the tx was defeated.
Now we are faced with this new attack through the courts We are faced with
the heavy costs and all the trouble that lawsuits involve.
But We believe this attack is a threat to millions of consumers who rely on m
for quality foods at low prices; to farmers who rely o us for fast lowcost dsui
button of their products; and to our loyal employees.
We feel that it is or responsibility 20 all these people % defend, by eve
legitimate means, this company and the lowprice policy IN which ii was built
The Chronicle-star combined with the Moss Point advertiser., 1949-09-23
Who Will Be Hurt?

There has neve been any question in u mind that it is good business and
good citizenship to sell good food as cheaply as possible. AS Fortune Magazine
said about APP some time ago. 1t nf firmly attached to the me great principle -
the selling of more for less = that has made the desert bloom and the nation
va great
We sincerely believe that W have helped the Amedcan people eat better and
live bette.
We believe thai. the hundreds of Thousands of farmers and manufacturer who
have voluntarily sought or business hve pro6td by our fast, lowcoa d.tbu-
iono of their products.
We know thato IN 10000 loyal employees MO- today as they always have,
the highest wages shortest hours md best working conditions generally prevail
ing in the retail food industry; ad that he mel ant women have found in
APP good opportunities for security and progress
We IN hatt thousands of businessmen the landlords who rent US om
Stores the haukes who operate our trucks the people who supply US with goods
and services - have a big stake in our operations.
Obviously, all these people will suffer If this company is put out of business.

Do You Want Your A&P
Put Out OF Business?

Last Thursday in New York. the antitrust hwyenh from Washington heda aMtopu APP outof buine@
Thya asked tn court to order us get rid of most four stores and also the manmhtmngfa facilities
whh supply youM with ALP coffee Ann Page products me Pmkr baked goods and other quality

This would mean higher food price for you 1t would NEAR k~ food on very dinner able and few~
dollars in very pay envelope
1t would mean the end of APP al youk nOwh
This poses abac question kh the American people: Do hey want to continue to enjoy lower price sand

TOBIN'S STRIKE FAILED

Secretary of Labor Tobin is prob
ably the first Secretary OF Labor
ever to be embarrassed because a
strike failed to come off.
Last January the handsome gen.
tleman from Boston urged both
houses of Congress to exempt the
stevedores from the wage-hour act.
Unless this special exemption was
given, Tohin warned, New York
labor boss Joe Ryan would tie up
the water front with strike in
March in protest against the wage
hour bill.
Despite Tobin's warning, the Sem
ate Labor Committee has not act
ed on the bill. Furthermore, March
is now past, and Joe Ryan has
called no strike.
Secretary Tobin is bit embar-
raised when the bill is mentioned.
Ncte-Real reason Ryan wants
exemption of stevedores from wage
hour act is so waterfront work
won't have to be spread around
among all stevedores, but can be
dished out by Ryan to his fav-
critics. Why Secretary Tobin has
teamed up with Ryan on this re-
mains a mystery

So far the State Department, ex-

the fact that we haven't even be-

as friendship propaganda is con-

which could be followed here sent forth by the Daily

Tourists will be streaming through Prince
Rupert again by steamer, by train and by highway.

far afield bad name for a community. Much de-
pends upon the people of community itself on the
impressions which are left upon such visitors
Some tourist committee activities which might be
taken up in Prince Rupert follows:
Work with hotel and restaurant managers, service

to improve standards of service and accommodation
Get the merchants to sponsor Courtesy Cams
