The story of Alpha Beta in 1949

I recently received a magazine 'The Self Service Grocer,' February 1949 issue. It features the following article about Alpha Beta, the supermarket chain started by my grandfather. I thought our family members would enjoy seeing this article. It scanned through as the four pictures below. I have it in a pdf file for anyone who would like that.

I remember Dad talking about many of the men mentioned in the article. According to family lore, Grandma was the one who thought they should alphabetize the stock as mentioned in the article (although she isn't given the credit).
