We will devote all our energies to giving you the most good food for your
money every day of the week.
We will strive always to do what is honest, tair, sincere and in the best
interest of our country and our customers.
A* most of you know, this company and the low cost, low profit policies
that built it are under attack.
We are defending ourselves against a suit brought by the anti-trust
lawyers to put A&P out of business. ,
But the greater conflict in which our country is now engaged takes prece
dence over all else.
Today, with our boys fighting in Korea, we believe that all citizens and
all businesses, big and little, should devote themselves wholeheartedly to
the public interest.
* We promise the American people that we will cooperate unhesitatingly
with our national government in the present crisis.
We promise you that we will continue to do everything in our power to
put more buying power in your food dollar and more good food on your
dinner table.
