the board of directors of the bank of England on his return
late in September. Like Sir Montagu, the M. P.’s said they
were “surprised”, or ‘“exhilarated”, or “amazed.” They
told the English press of having encountered over here un-

Again there is a disposition to ignore the President’s deter-

time stability. And we are told that only orthodox mea-

|This Week Exciting Time
For Food Buyers At
American Stores
The forty-third anniversary of the
American Stores Company is béing
celebrated throughout the organization
in gala manner, with a gigantic birth-
day party, featuring unusually attrac-
tive values for every food buyer.
For weeks the buyers and other de-
partments in the company have been
concentrating on the preparation for
the great celebration. Every effort has
been made to prepare all-the desirable
features and have them ready to wel-
come the customers to the biggest an-
niversary celebration in the history of
the business.
This is really a party for the cus-
tomers, although it marks the com-
pany’s birthday. Throughout the en-
tire system of stores many well-known
quality foods are being featured and
extra attractive values offered to mil-
lions of home-Kkeepers with an invita-
tion to come the festival and take
home their share of the sparkling ar-
ray that makes this a gala affair for
every food budget, large or small
Birthdays are exciting times, and all
can join this marvelous celebration, as
each department surpasses past per-
{appetizing foods.
Forty-three years of public service
have also been forty-three years of
high quality standards, fair dealings,
courtesy and service. On these corner-
stones—a solid foundation—the busi-
ness has steadily progressed forward
year after year.
- The passing of each birthday has
marked new improvements in the busi-
ness, better methods of handling and
selling foods, introduction of entirely
new products and improvement in
others. New methods of canning, pack-
ing and transportation have resulted
flavor in many of the products you buy
Additions of stores, ware-
houses, bakeries, trucks, mechanical
departments and employes have ali
added to the growth of the company,
SO that it now serves thousands and
‘thousands of food buyers in Pennsyl-
vania, New Jersey, Delaware, Mary-
‘land, Virginia, West Virginia, New
York, and the District of Columbia.
Much money has been spent by the
company in seeking ways to improve
their products and services. A labora-
tory is kept constantly busy analysing,
testing, experimenting and finding out
secrets hitherto undisclosed about
foods and how they can be prepared.
Very few food companies maintain
as complete a manufacturing plant as
the American Stores Company. In
this up-to-date wonder place, they
prepare many of their £SC0O and other
rands of foods. Careful supervision
of preparation in addition to the most
strict care in selection of high quality
ingredients, account for the wide
popularity of these products. ~
| One of the parts of the high quali-
ASCO Company is the kitchen and la-
are offered for sale to the public.
Folks Drove for Miles to First Store
Back in the first years of the busi-
ness when the first store was opened
in 1891, on South Second Street, in
Philadelphia, people drove in horse and
wagon or buggy for miles to this store.
News of the remarkable values obtain-
able there traveled fast, even in those
days of restricted communication, and
the fame of this food purveyor grew as
did the business grow year by vear.
Some folks who were among the first
customers of the budding company can
still remember their first visit to the
store, even though they have made
thousands of visits since and are still
customers. Children and grand-child-
ren of the first-year customers are
.today.
Very few people have to travel any
{lengthy distance today to reach an
ASCO Store. These food centers are
strategically located in the most con-
venient spot to serve each neighbor-
hood. A few blocks at the most, is
usually all one need travel before see-
ing the familiar yellow front and at-
tractive windows.
Newspapers Used Extensively
Business during the past year has
been vigorously supported by an ag-
gressive newspaper advertising cam-
paign. During the later -months. of
1933, dollar sales were substantially in
advance of those during the same peri-
od of 1982. A large part of this im-
provement, as well as the remarkable
steady business throughout the year,
can be attributed to the constant use
of widely circulated and read news-
papers.
These satisfactory results also re-
flect an increase in the purchasing
power of the buying public and a ris-
ing demand for better quality foods
that are repeatedly featured by the
company.
Over sixteen thousand employes are
on the company's payroll. Wages paid
to these employes are beneficial to the
local communities by helping to sti-
mulate business for other merchants
and industries throughout the usual
channels of family expenditures.

Modern Stores Help Food Buyers

The present practice of selling Fresh

Fresh Fruits and Vegetables was first
inaugurated by the larger grocery
companies, of which the Ameican
Stores is one of the leaders. This in-

grocery stores resulted in saving much

LITTLE AMERICA
Dangerous Plans!
ON BOARD THE BYRD FLAG
SHIP, JACOB RUPPER'T: Jan.
14 (via Mackay Radio). Ice, water
or air. It’s all the same to Admiral
Byrd! I mean that no matter what
conditions the elements confront us
with, the Admiral has a way of
combatting them.
Take last Thursday, for example.
Up against an almgst solid wall of
closely packed ice sheets and not
knowing whether there was open
water beyond to which we might
force this steel ship, without dam-
aging her plates in our quest for
a rear water door to Little America,
Admiral Byrd decided to find out—
by the air. And he
certainly did just
that thing!
At 3:30 In the
morning of Janu-
ary 11th, he and
June, Bowlin and
Peterson, took oft
in the Condor, in
perfect sunshiny

Expert and flew for two
hours to Lat. 71.45 South and re
turn. Part of the time they were up
7,000 feet, scanning the horizon fifty
miles away. And what they saw
decided the Admiral in his plans
and sent them scurrying back to
the Jacob Ruppert. As far as they
could see to the South there was
ice, ice, ice, getting heavier and
thicker all the time. No back door
there so we must continue skirting
the pack the long way around to
our future home—if it is still there
when we arrive. Believe me, this
whole proposition is getting more
interesting, if that’s the word, every
minute. The plane operated perfect-
ly, as usual, and so did its fuel and
ofl, despite the terrific changes in
temperature they have to endure.
So mark that flight down on your
map in blue pencil. That's three
now—Dec. 21, Jan. 8 and this one.
When this flight started we were
hot—40 degrees Fahrenheit. A few
hours after the Condor returned, we
were in the midst of a swirling
snowstorm the Admiral had spotted
from the .plane. when they were
only 480 miles from Little America
and we were bundled in our heavy
coats. The Admiral reported:
“1 saw no land. It is pretty safe
to say that no land exists any near-
er than the coastal fronts of King
Edward VII and Marie Byrd Land.

On your club map you will notice |
there is an enormous gob of undis-
covered land indicated by a broken
line from the 117th to the 152nd
meridians. Well, Admiral Byrd's
three flights along the 117th, 150th
and 152nd meridians tell why it will
never be discovered. It isnt there! ~
By the time you read this, the
Admiral, with two or three com-
panions, may have made one of
the most dangerous flights in his-
tory. He told me about this several
months ago, as a secret. This trip
will be to Little America. There
they may settle down to wait until
the Ruppert or the Bear, or both,
can crush their way in. Or it is
now possible that he may fly back
to the Ruppert. At Little America
they will study the terrifying ice
ridges which Dr. Lincoln Ellsworth
has reported to us as a possible ob-
stacle to getting our supplies from |
the ships to the base and perhaps
do some exploring in the Condor
or the big Ford trimotored plane,
left there in 1930, which they tell
us is all safe and snug—as yet!—
with its big supply of. cached gas-
oline.
If they land anywhere except at
Little America, with its three wood-
en houses and its two 70-foot radio
masts which Ellsworth says are
still standing, the Second Byrd An

tire time searching for Admiral
Byrd and his two or three fearless
companions. Wouldn't that be some-
