Isn’t America
All over the world today there are people teaching bitterness
and hate,
Here in America we have learned to live together in friendship.
For us here at A&P, it has been a wonderful and thrilling ex-
perience to get from those with whom we compete day after day
such astounding evidence of friendship and respect.
The things that have happened since the anti-trust lawyers from
Washington brought suit to destroy A&P have amazed us.
While we sincerely believed that we had earned the friendship
of millions of consumers for whom we have provided better food
at lower prices, and the friendship of millions of farm families
for whom we have provided a better market for their produce,
we were not prepared for the avalanche of offers of support.
But most of all, we have to confess that we had underestimated

the fine sportsmanship of many of our competitors all over the
country.
Can anyone believe that these competitors would rush to our
defense if, as the anti-trust lawyers allege, we had been trying
to put them out of business?
We and they have fought hard for business.
There are nearly 350,000 individual grocers competing with us
They have a larger share of the nation’s grocery business today
than they had ten years ago or twenty years ago.
Many of them do as good a job as we do, and they make it
plenty tough for us.
Now, day after day, these same competitors are letting us know
that they are in our corner.
All we can say is, thank you from the bottom of our hearts.
Isn't America A Wonderful Country!
