STOCKING A SUPER MARKET Nearly six million American families daily eat food purchased at AGP Food Stores. To meet their demands the average AGP Super Market stocks well over two thousand items. Such a complex job requires far-flung buying activities in national and world markets. Take fresh fruits and vegetables, for example. Representatives of the Com- pany's 140 field buying offices go into the fields and orchards of all 48 states to assure a steady flow of quality produce to AGP customers. Similarly, poultrymen of 41 states do business with AGP. The finest products of Ameri3a's dairyland, cattle country and grain belt find year-round public acceptance through the Company's aggressive merchandising. Fishing fleets from Alaska to Newfoundland and the Gulf of Mexico pour millions cf pounds of seafood into A6fP's fresh and process market. Tea and spice trade with the Orient and with South America and the Indies for coffee and tropical foods highlight the Company's world-wide buying activities. Throughout its 88-year history AGP has been alert to the importance of maintaining primary and supplementary supply sources for all foods, working closely with suppliers to improve production and distribution methods. The natural outcome of such a policy has been to provide consumers with foods of greater variety, better quality and lower cost. It has enabled the Company to return to suppliers a larger share of the consumer's food dollar. Expert buying and testing facilities are characteristic of the business methods which year after year have enabled the men and women of AGP to do the nations most effective job of food distribution.
