MAID SERVICE
Food shoppers should remem-
ber that they buy a lot of extra
maid service when they shop for
food, says Mrs. Gwen Clyatt,
Texas A&M Extension consumer
marketing specialist. In other
words, your food budget buys
you time as well as food when
you shop for such items as quick
frozen dinners, cake mixes, froz-
en food and vegetables, and com-
mercially baked bread, rolls and
cookies. Although food prices
have advanced in recent months,
the average citizen’s food bud-
get now takes only 18 percent
of our after-taxes income, com-
pared with 20 percent a few years
ago. In England, consumers
spend 29 percent for food; in
Italy, 45 percent; in Japan, 47
percent; in Russia, 53 percent;
and in most South American
countries, 66 percent.

California, a group of men, fore- l
seeing the tremendous potential
that lay in the relatively new
concept of chain store operation,
took over the “Sam Seelig” food (
store and renamed the new firm
Safeway Stores. The principals
in the negotiations included
Charles E. Merrill, W. R. H. Wel-
don and E. M. Selby.
Unquestionably, the financial
genius guiding the course of
thees early day transactions was
Charles Merrill, head of a world
renowed stock investment firm,
which today is Merrill Lynch,
Pierce, Fenner & Smith.
Three months after the forma-
tion of Safeway Stores, Incor-

B. Skaggs linked his chain of
428 stores to the Safeway enter-

B. Skaggs assumed control on

there is a direct line of descent

Friday evening April 22, was
banquet and prom time for the
juniors and prospective Allen
graduates. This year’s event was
marked with color and decora-
tions that were strikingly beau-
tiful.
The occasion was celebrated
in the Sun Room in Exchange
Park in Dallas using a Moonlight
and Roses setting.
Capturing the attention of the
guests as they entered the
garden setting under an arch of
vines and red roses banked on
each side by palms, was a life
size silloute of the program cover:
A boy and girl in evening dress,
dancing against a large white
moon glittering with diamond
dust. A giant long stemmed rose
in full gloom and a giant bud
decorated the girls skirt. The
rose petals were, sparkling with
diamond dust.
Centering the dance floor was
a bird bath with a spray of
plastic water, banked by five
green pom-pom trees with tiny
led rose buds in black blay pots.
Two blue birds flew above the
spray of water.
Centered on either side of the
dance floor were white trellis’
supporting vines of red roses.
Two black wrought iron bird
cages of varying heights contain-
ing red and green parrots were
placed at another vantage point.
The stands for the cakes were
entwined with red roses and
vines.
Tables for 90 guests were ar-
ranged on either side of the
dance floor with the class presi-
dents and sponsors and respec-
tive guests seated at the head
table centered at one end of the
dance floor.
The head table was decorated
with two arangements of red
roses centered with tall white
tapers. Each arangement was 412
fet. long. Seated at this table
were James Earl Tucker, Presi-
dent of the Junior Class and his
guest, Cathy McCollom, Ken Ad-
l
food business with “buy-built-
sell-lease” real estate program to
reduce capitalization costs. They
were first to use form tank-to-
tank truck inhaul of milk from
dairies for sanitary handling ec-
onomy. They were first to es-
tablish guaranteed meat trim pro-
grams and retailer-owned cutting
and aging facilities. These are but
some of the leadership steps Safe-
way has taken during the past
forty years.
The rest of the Safeway story
remains to be written. If the past
decade thus far is a criterion, the
next chapter in Safeway’s his-
tory should also be of paramount
interest. Today the “Safeway
Family” encompasses 70,000 peo-
ple in over 2,100 stores in 27 of

and his guest Shirley Dement,
sponsor of the Senior Class, Mr.
Eugene Maples and his wife,
sponsors of the Junior Class Mrs.
Roger Adams accompanied by her
husband and Mr. Leon Porter
and his wife.
The remaining tables were cen-
tered with lovely white fans
trimmed in fragil black lace. The
fans were supported on each side
with a spray of delicated red
roses and green fern. Flanking
each center piece were two tall
white tapers supported by two
lovely red roses, fern and black
net, pleated in a graceful man-
ner.
The guests were served a de-
licious meal of Tossed Green
Salad and French or Italian
Dressing, Chicken A La King in
Patty Shell, Cranberry Garrish,
Fresh Buttered Green Beans, and
Chocolate and Fresh Strawberry
Parfait topped with whipped
cream.

To piece together the some-
what complex chapters of Safe-
way’s history, the best approach
is to start at the beginning. Ln
American Falls, Idaho, S. M.
Skaggs had settled with his fami-
ly of 6 sons and 6 daughters.
After a short period of time, Mr.
Skaggs decided to open a food
store, different fro many others.
Observing strict economy, reduc-
ing operating costs and waste, and
encouraging customers to pay
cash, he opened his first store
and the predecessor of all Safe-
way stores. Skaggs got a loan,
rented a lot, and built his dream-
store. The store in American
Falls, Idaho was 18 x 32 feet
overall. His slogan was “Distri-
bution Without Waste.”
In early 1917, Skaggs opened
a second store. But, then came
the war. Not until 1918 did
i Move out in May A
the Chevrolet Way
a corporate diagnosis of how
Safeway Stores, Incorporated
shapes up this year as they cele-
brate their 40th Birthday.
Though young in terms of years,
their growth has been pheno-
menal so that a historian seek-
ing to record “the story of Safe-
way” finds himself versed in
facts so incredible, he wonders
if it is possible to avoid having
this story seem fictional.
Safeway Stores. Incorporated
came into being on March 24,
1926 — yet the company’s history
dates back to 1915. The man who
deservedly rates as the founder of
this company is Marion Barton
Skaggs. His first store, rated as
the forebear, dates back to 1915.
Within a decade, he established
t g himself as a genius in the food
149 chain business world, a reputa-
f tion that brought him to the at-
