Reading Time: 1 Minute, 30 Seconds i WENTY-ONE vears seem a Ions time when looking ahead, but i - M looking back it seems but yesterday that we opened our modest J little Groceteria in the Medford Building. There were plenty of food stores in Medford then. 34 to be exact. Less than 200 people for each store in Medford's 6600 population. Looked like a foolish ven ture as many of our friends frankly told us. Had we intended running just another store, our -friends would have been right, but we had an entirely different plan. Ours was to be the kind of food store we had always hoped to find. A store that would sense the responsibility of feeding our loved ones and so faithfully discharged that responsibility that it would become a contributing factor to our home life. The close of the first World war brought about a complete evolution of the food store. The old fashioned counters and bins were passing. Sci ence had thrust riw and more serious responsibilities on the food mer chant. To measure up to that respon sibility he had to have a complete knowledge of foods. Not the kind gained from advertising propaganda but a true knowledge of food value and food customs that would en able him to make a valuable contribution to the home life of those he served. He had to see his store as an integral part of every home he sup plier!. He had to realize that health, hospitality, happiness and last, but not least, the financial security of those he served were so dependent on the food he sold that his right to stay in business would ultimately be de termined by his contribution to home life. Sensing that responsibility and antic'pating the four-fold task involved in 5) bringing the four essentials of bett-r home life, health, happiness, hos pitality and financial well being to t'tose we hoped to serve, your Groce teria, 21 years ago, opened in a community already having too many food stores. What small measure of success we have enjoyed we attribute to the fact that over all of the 21 years we have conscientously devoted ourselves to acting as your food buyer. We tried to the best of our knowledge and ability to fit into your home plans. We never allowed ourselves to forget that the food we sell can have a good or bad effect on your home life. To us our markets have never been looked upon as just a bu-iness in the ordinary sense.- We feel ' ourselves to be a most vital part of your homes, making daily contribu tions to your home life. The foods we sell are merely the packages in which we hoppd you would find that contribution Health, Hospitality, Happiness, Financial Security and most of all lasting friendship. That we have partially succeeded is attested by the fact that wherever women are gathered together the goodness and low cost of Groceteria Foods eventu ally become the topic of conversation.
