NEW STORE FOR A IS v5 '1 13r giiilir cgtvffijg Others to Br Started With the first three months' operations drawing to a close. Hagstrom's Food Stores now have 21 markets open, and have created Jobs for more than 210 men and women, according to a statement by Emil A.

Hagstrom, president of the concern, an announcement reads. "On June 1 the company started business with ten stores. Fifteen additional stores have been opened at the rate of more than one a week, the latest one being at 4000 Piedmont avenue. It is Interesting to note that in 1917 Hagstrom opened his first East-hay store on Piedmont avenue. This was a small creamery store, but it grew into a chain of more than 100 units in a few years, when Hagstrom disposed of his lntarfeste to a larger- chain stors organization.

"Headquarters of the new Hags-strom concern are in the former Star Motor plant at One Hundred Seventh avenue and East Fourteenth street. Here the company la operating a creamery, and Is Installing a bakery, to be in operation soon. Warehouses and officers also are in the same building." "Our first three months' results are more than satisfactory," Hagstrom eald. "We are especially pleased that we have been able to find work for more than 250 men and women. We feel, too, that we are just getting started, and expect to open other atpr.es and employ more people Just es rapidly as we can.

"Much of our business has been. secured through regular advertl lng in the dally newspapers. 1ie- Ltcally all of our advertising ap propriation goes Into this medium. We believe it to be the most effective and least expensive method of advertlelng, and plan to continue using it heavily as the number of our stores Increases. "Being entirely a home-owned concern, we are trying to buy all of our supplies locally.

So' far we have been able to get almost everything we need from local firms, nd hope to continue this policy In the futuie."
