A. P. Store Opens Here This Morning One of Over Three Hundred Simil Stores in Ontaric and Quebec. New Food Store Located on Pine Street, North, Timmins is the latest community to be served by the great A. P. chain stores, the company having the formal opening of its newest store on Pine street, north, next to the Curtis Drug Store, at 8 a.m. this morning. The history of The Great Atlantic Pacific Tea Company of Canada, Limitâ€" ed, dates from 1927, when the first store was opened in the city of Montreal. In short order, then, new stores rap.dly appeared in Toronto and cther Ontario and Quebec centres, until now, six years later, the company opsrates well over three hundred stores in one hundred and thirty cities and towns in the two provinces. These properties represent a investment aggregating millions of dollars. PTEMBER 14TH, 1933 ITS EASY TO SEE WHY CHEV is Canada‘s 15 Choice Car o w As the company has expanded, it has built its own modern warehouses unlike any other warehouses in existence. These warehouses comb‘ne the funcâ€" tions of warehouse, factory and office and from them is directed every activity of the A. P. organization. All deâ€" tails regarding the buying and selling of the thousands of tons of groceries, moats, fish, vegetables and fruits are adiministered within their walls. Under the same roof in one of these warehouses are bakeshop, laundry, reâ€" frigeration rooms, banana and vegeâ€" table ripening rooms, coffeeâ€"roasting plant, egg candling room, sausageâ€"makâ€" ing department, butterâ€"packing room and so on. They are designed from foundation to roof to provide the pubâ€" lic with life‘s primary needâ€"fresh, wholesome food. About three hundred and fifty tons is the average amount of meat entered upon the records of the company‘s reâ€" frigeration rooms each week. Every store gets its fresh supply daily. As for fish, over forty tons, as fresh as when it left the sea, are sold to A. P. The manner in which the company buys its coffee is especially interesting, inasmuch as coffee is one of the chain‘s specialties. In the early days it bought coffes like other retallers, from the commission merchants. This was unâ€" satisfactory, as it was unable to get enough of the grade it required. To sclve this problem it established an organization of its own to control the coffee completely from plantation to customers each week. Delivery is made to each store daily, and in some inâ€" stances twice daily. counter. Today purchasing units staff â€" ed by A. P. men are located in Brazil and Colombia, the two great coffee proâ€" ducing countries in South America. For its tea the company has agents who attend the eight big auctions held each year. Most of the tea comes from Calâ€" cutta, from Colombo in Ceylon, and from London, England. Harvest never ceases tor the A. P. Somewhere there is always a food crop ripening, and A. P. buyers are on hand to look after the requirements of their stores. Field men connected with the company warn buyers far in adâ€" vance what to expect from the fruit and vegetable crops. They know what will be there when the crops mature. and A. P. buyers have been known to contract for an entire crop in some places before it was even gathered so that their inspectors could supervise harvesting and handling. Perhaps the most remarkable feature of a remarkable organization is the traffic system. With over three hunâ€" dred istores to be served, the speedy transport Oof perishable fcods was a knotty problem. Speed purchased at a cost that would increase retail prices would defeat its own ends. By smoothly coâ€"ordinating every available means of rapid transport, with careful consideraâ€" tion of even the smallest details, the trick has been done. The result is that these great stores are able to offer Canadian housewives in Qusbec and Ontario fresh supplies of meat, fish, groceries, vegetables and fruits daily at low cost. The public are cordially invited to the new A. P. store.

Espeâ€" cially in the last half was the ball kept right around Moyle‘s dosorstep and he had to pull off some smart saves to keep the score from piling up higher against his team. In the last few minutes the youngsters from Dome Exâ€" tension showed themselves apt students, in the various tricks of the trade. Some one shouted "kick it out," and from then on that old pigskin was over the line nearly as much of the time as it was in play on the field. The teams lined up:â€"Domeâ€"goal, Moyle; backs, Baker, "Red" Doran; halfâ€"backs, Proâ€" copio, J. Murphy, Lillihoog; forwards, J. Procopic, Honer, W. Murphy, Schuâ€" milak, M. Baker; spares, R.

The one tally of the game was made in ths first half and was hsaded in by R. Chevrier from a scrimmage in front of the net. Dome Extension played a liveâ€"wire game from then on. Millions and Pirie took good care of any that broke away and Burke had a very easy time of it. Uren made a splendid race down his wing with the ball but Milâ€" lions prevented any mischief and the whistle blew for 1â€"0. On Friday the Dome Extension were again successful winning the second half of the schedule by defeating South Porcupine 2â€"0. Both goals were made by Bobby Chevrier, first cn a penalty kick, and then from a scramble in front of the net.

Schumilak batted a home run and scored Proulx. Heximer got home and Ostrowsky‘s twoâ€"base hit let Pollard in for ‘the fourth innings.

Heximer and Huggins also ran after Dawson came on the pitcher‘s mound for the Mill. For their fifth batting Loengworth scored Dawson on a three base hit then came in himself when White singled to right. The Mine had started another rollerâ€"coaster going when the game was awarded the Mine as it was almost tco dark to see the ball. We believe ‘the Mill have protested this award..
