Alpha Beta, a Self-Service Progress Story In 1900, Albert Gerard and his brother, H. A. Gerrard, opened up a meat market in Pomona. They had to buy their own beef, slaughter it themselves and sell it in their own market. This beef had to be slaughtered and sold the same day, for there was no refrigeration in those days. In 1910 these two energetic young men felt they must expand their business to include the rapidly growing city of Santa Ana. H. A. Gerrard moved his family to Santa Ana and started the second branch of the Gerrard Brothers' markets. In 1912 these men felt that they must expand to a complete food store. Pioneers in the food industry, they opened their first complete food center in 1912 in Santa Ana. Now, believe it or not, this grocery department, which they added to their meat department, was self-service. This was the first self-service food store in the United States. Many problems were faced by these pioneers when they went into the self-service field. Many people did not like to wait on themselves. Why? Because they could not find what they wanted. They just were not accustomed to walking into a store, picking up a can of corn and paying for it on the way out. Realizing that this was one of their major problems, H. A. Gerrard worked out a plan whereby food could be placed in alphabetical locations. For example: brooms and beans were put under the letter "B" and mops, milk, mustard, etc., were put under the letter "M." Across the front of the store they put a sign which read, "If you know your A.B.C.'s, you can find things at Gerrard's Market." This immediately made a big hit with the buying public and the vision of these two pioneers began to pay off. Their next step was to enlarge their stores by numbers. They went into other communities with their fantastic idea of self-service and that's what it was called at that time. H. A. Gerrard often tells the story of a banker who told him flatly that he would not loan him money whatsoever as long as he kept up the crazy idea of selling groceries by self-service. Not only the banker ridden him, but many of the leading men came to him continually and told him that if he not give up the crazy idea would soon be broke and laughing stock of the town like many pioneers who laughed at for having ideas, H. A. Gerrard and his er, A. C. Gerrard, paid no attention to the hecklers and made service work. In 1917, A. W. Gerrard, a merger of the two original Gerrards joined up with the company the three of them made a group of stores. From 1920 to 1929, several working partners were bury into the business. By 1929 three brothers and their wives had expanded this of stores to twenty-nine. The problem of operating many units, plus the difficulty keeping enough working capital the bank to maintain twenty complete food stores, caused hardship on these three young men. So, in 1929 the brothers and their working partners incorporated in a comp. Because of the alphabetic rangement of food commenced the stores, the name Alpha was chosen. There was also another reason for the name of Beta. As you know, Alpha first letter of the Greek alphabet and Beta is the second. In as the Gerrard brothers we neers in self-service stores, they felt that it was appropriate to call their formed business Alpha Beta. In the spring of 1930 that and rapidly growing co-started on their venture process. Of the three partners started this organization, the one living is H. A. Gerrard...

Not only the banker ridiculed them, but many of the leading business men came to him confidently and told him that if he did not give up the crazy idea, he would soon be broke and the laughing stock of the town. But the many pioneers who were engaged at for having different ideas, H. A. Gerrard and his brother, A. C. Gerrard, paid no attention to the hecklers and made self-service work. In 1917, A. W. Gerrard, a broth of the two original Gerrards, joined up with the company and the three of them made plans for group of stores. From 1920 to 1929, several other working partners were brought into the business. By 1929 these three brothers and their working partners had expanded this chain of stores to twenty-nine. The problem of operating these many units, plus the difficulty of keeping enough working capital in the bank to maintain twenty-nine complete food stores, caused a hardship on these three energetic young men. So, in 1929 the three brothers and their working partners incorporated in a company. Because of the alphabetical arrangement of food commodities in the stores, the name Alpha Beta was chosen. There was also a second reason for the name of Alpha Beta. As you know, Alpha is the first letter of the Greek alphabet and Beta is the second. Inasmuch as the Gerrard brothers were pioneers in self-service operated stores, they felt that it would be appropriate to call their newly formed business Alpha Beta. In the spring of 1930 this new and rapidly growing company started on their venture of success. Of the three partners who started this organization, the only living is H. A. Gerrard who, at Roadside Picnic Areas Proposed A move to start a series of roadside picnic areas throughout the state will be made this year. A.E. Henning, chief of the state division of beaches and parks, said the legislature will be asked to authorize such areas, and appropriate $5,000 to experiment with the idea. In such roadside areas, Henning said, water, rest rooms, tables, and garbage disposal would be provided, so that the motoring public would have a place to stop, eat and refresh themselves. No cooking facilities would be provided, Henning said, as such facilities would tie up the picnic grounds for too long a period. "The idea would be to have as many people as possible use the areas," he stated. At the present time, the state has no such areas. Henning says he believes there is a demand for such places. "If people knew such a spot were available," said the division chief, "they would take advantage of the facilities." "Picnic grounds would help keep the highways clean, as receptacles for lunch papers and the like would be provided. It would also give the motorist an opportunity for a rest, cutting down the accident potential on the highways." Henning said he was hopeful that the division could establish three such picnic areas on $5,000, by using highway rights-of-way instead of acquiring sites. "If these are successful," he said, "then the experiment could be expanded as an integral part of the state's recreation program." "HANK" SAYS Peter R. Garcia, 18, son of Mr. and Mrs. Peter Garcia, Rt. 3, Anaheim, was enlisted this week in the regular Army for three years service. A recent employee of Betz Packing company, Garcia has reported to Ford Ord, California, where he will receive basic training. If the future belongs to those who are making most of the present, then the Aviation Cadets of todays rapidly growing, fast flying United States Air Force will be among the leaders in the decades just ahead. Never in the history of American air power has the way been so open for the physically fit, mentally alert, patriotic young men of the country to carve their careers, insure their livelihood and at the same time "grow" with aviation. Now, with the New Year open on us, we should take stock of ourselves, and find out just what we have as "insurance" for a secure future. To what advantages are young men using the many opportunities offered them today? Our Air Force needs pilots and for men possessing the qualifications, the skyway is clear for the flight leading to a commission as an aviator. There's an "opportunity on wings" for every young man who can meet the test and yet only the best can be Aviation Cadets. With the next class or Aviation Cadets scheduled for enrollment on 1 March, 1948, many men, single or married, are "talking it tunity to start the year right foot . . . to take advantage of the opportunity of a life come down to 128 South Los Angeles street, and let's talk your future together.

Edison Plans $74 Million Expansion in Southern California Edison company plans to spend more than $74,000,000 for plant expansion budget in the company; according to R.E. Edison district manager. Announcement of the cost program for the new year made by W.C. Mullendorf son president. "The Edison budget for approximately $14,000,000 than the plant expenditure 1948," Mr. Mullendorf said has been made necessary southern California's unprecedented growth and development type of construction—work ther substations, lines s office buildings—will be taken in nearly every year served by the company. "Increases in demand for tric service from both old customers, resulting from dous industrial and commercial growth and the growing population, have led the Edison company to record expansion programs year since the war's end. Operating capacity has been at the company's Long steam station and the BL hydro-electric project in..." As you know, Alpha is the first letter of the Greek alphabet and Beta is the second. Inasmuch that the Gerrard brothers were pioneers in self-service operated stores, they felt that it would be appropriate to call their newly formed business Alpha Beta. In the spring of 1930 this new and rapidly growing company started on their venture of success. Of the three partners who started this organization, the only living is H. A. Gerrard who, at the present time, is in complete charge of the meat operation of Alpha Beta's packing house in Wintersburg. H. A. Gerrard was elected by the Board of Directors in 1929 to be the general manager. He held this position until 1944. In 1944 he was elected treasurer of the company. He resides in Santa Ana. In 1918 the vision of the Gerrard brothers was to buy at the best price and sell at the lowest price possible. One of their big ventures was the purchase of a large orchard of apples at Yucaipa in 1918. They had these apples picked and shipped down to their stores. It took display, selling ideas and price to move out this large quantity of produce. The people in their respective communities were so enriched by the extreme value on apples that this orchard was completely sold out far sooner than was anticipated. This incident was like setting a match to a dry field of grass. Something got in their blood to buy in large quantities, build big displays and offer merchandise to the consumer at a less price. Six months later they purchased a full car load of pineapple. In like manner, this merchandise was moved out quickly. This theme of buying in large quantities and selling at a reduced price is the foundation of Alpha Beta's merchandising policy today. Of course, the only difference is that in 1918 the purchase of one earload of pineapple was considered a lot of merchandise. Today, an Alpha Beta's modern warehouse there are as many as nine or ten earloads per day, sometimes as much as six or eight earloads of one item come in at one time. In 1937 the Board of Directors of Alpha Beta voted unanimously to replace some of the stores with large super markets and not to expand too fast. It was the size and not the number of stores that was important. So today, under the guidance of Alpha Beta's general manager, C. W. Edwards, Alpha Beta has 21 large super markets in 17 of our Air Force needs pilots and for men possessing the qualifications, the skyway is clear for the flight leading to a commission as an aviator.

E. Bacon, Edison district manager. Announcement of the company's program for the new year was made by W. C. Mullendore, Edison president. "The Edison budget for 1949 is approximately $14,000,000 greater than the plant expenditures for 1948," Mr. Mullendore said, "and has been made necessary by southern California's unprecedented growth and development. Some type of construction—work on either substations, lines, shops or office buildings—will be undertaken in nearly every territory served by the company. "Increases in demand for electric service from both old and new customers, resulting from tremendous industrial and commercial development and the constantly growing population, have caused the Edison company to schedule record expansion programs each year since the war's end. New generating capacity has been installed at the company's Long Beach steam station and the Big Creek hydro-electric project in the High units is now practically completed. The third generator will be in service by mid-summer, and the fourth in the early fall. Continued development at Big Creek, the company's High Sierra hydro-electric project, also is planned. "Differing from previous years, approximately fifty per cent of the Edison construction budget for 1949 is earmarked for distribution lines and substations. Reinforcement of the company's distribution system is necessary for both the recently added and anticipated future electric load." '48 Fruit and Nut Crop Brings $20 1-2 Million California farmers received $401,351,000 for major fruit and nut crops from 1,464,438 bearing acres during 1948, a slight decrease in tonnage from the year before, but offset by a higher average price per ton, the California crop and livestock reporting service said today. Growers in Orange county produced approximately 329,640 tons of fruits and nuts from 82,000 acres, receiving some $20,500,000 for deciduous and other fruits, citrus, nuts and grapes. California's production of 6,905,-600 tons last year compared with 7,531,300 tons of the year before and a five-year average of 7,286,-780 tons. However, the average price per ton was $58.12 in 1948 as compared to $56.15 in 1947, but far below the five-year average which was $81.71, the service said. Marketing of some crops showed higher returns for the year while others declined. Deciduous fruits were higher than the year before. LEGAL NOTICES (Pub.

Anaheim Gazette Jan. 20, 27, and Feb. 3, 1949) IN THE SUPERIOR COURT OF THE STATE OF CALIFORNIA IN AND FOR THE COUNTY OF ORANGE No. A-17461 NOTICE OF HEARING OF PETITION FOR PROBATE OF WILL AND FOR LETTERS TESTAMENTARY. In the Matter of the Estate of PAULINE REINHAUS, Deceased. Notice is hereby given that the petition of Stanley M. Reinhaus for the probate of the Will of the above "Increases in demand for electric service from both old and new customers, resulting from tremendous industrial and commercial development and the constantly growing population, have caused the Edison company to schedule record expansion programs each year since the war's end. New generating capacity has been installed at the company's Long Beach steam station and the Big Creek hydro-electric project in the High Sierra, and the new Redondo Beach steam-electric generating station was put into operation in 1948 with half its ultimate capacity of 264,000 kilowatts. "The Bedondo steam plant will be completed this year with the installation of two additional 86,000 kw turbo-generators, and the building to house these newrus, nuts and grapes. California's production of 6,905,-606 tons last year compared with 7,531,300 tons of the year before and a five-year average of 7,286,-780 tons. However, the average price per ton was $58.12 in 1948 as compared to $56.15 in 1947, but far below the five-year average which was $81.71, the service said. Marketing of some crops showed higher returns for the year while others declined. Deciduous fruits were higher than the year before while grapes were about the same level. Citrus returns were 81 per cent in 1948 of the 1947 total. Demand for fresh fruits for canning were generally good. The early outlook for dried fruits was not good and such tonnage as was not harvested was mainly of smaller sizes or lower quality fruit."
