Marked recognition of the pro
gressive methods of Western Chaii
Store operators is shown in th'
election of M. B. Skaggs to be presi
dent of the National Chain Store
Grocers’ association at its annul I
convention in Chicago today.
This association is composed of
the larger operators f chain grocer*
stores in this country and represents
abut othirty thousand stores.
Within the last ten years chaii
stores have taken an unusual po
Bition in the business of the nation
and today are recognized as a great
economic factr oin helping humanit;’
solve the problem of the ever rising
cost of the distribution of necessi-
ties.
Mr. Skaggs has rare business
ability, Beginning with one small
store at American Falls, Idaho, in
1915, he has builded day by day
until now the Skaggs stores have
food distributing stations in the
principal cities in the states of Ore
gon, Idaho, Utah, Washington, Colo
rado, Wyoming, Nevada, Nebraska
and California, which furnish tm
ployment to fifteen hundred ener
getic, progressive young people.
This great progress is the rewarl
of honest industry built upon thi
prit principles of character, integ
rity, service and helpfulness. Mr.
Skaggs has carefully selected an I
personally supervised the training of
his managers and their assistants;
inavpumt'nr n liberal plan of proft
shr„ig which has attracted men anl
women of an unusually high type
to his organization.
He ever makes plain the fact that
the temptations in business are s
great that it demands the highes
type of conscience, the clearest
brain, and the most genuine men
hood to properly conduct a Skagg
store; further reminding each em
ployer, “that he who would help hill
sei fmust help humanity; we bene
fit ourselves only as we benefit
others.”
In the recognition of M. P.
Skaggs as their leader, the Natior-
al Chain stores pay tribute to a
great western organization of west
ern men. The Skaggs United stores,
ef which he ia president.
