Watch for the Goldberg cartoons, beginning tomorr<5W in The Omaha Bee._ Buy-Rite Stores Formed in 1920: 14 Members Now Association of Grocers Hand ling Only High-Grade Goods Buys Wholesale (Quantities. On October 20, 1920, 11 owners of neighborhood grocery stores in as many sections of Omaha, met to con sider a plan of co-operative consolida tion—a plan by which these 11 groc ery merchants could buy and sell at a lower price. Out of that meeting more than four years ago came what now is known as the Buy-Rite Stores association with a membership in Omaha of 14 stores doing an annual business of $3,000,000. These 14 stores, so sit uated that they are convenient to al most every district of the city, sup ply tl'-e chief food products to about 15 per cent of the city, which means that ; pproximately 7,000 families out of £0,(100 In Omaha, buy their grocer ies and meats from stores that hold membership in the Buy-Rite associa tion. So, in four short years, from the date of the birth of the plan. Is traced the rapid growth of an organization that centered its hope for success on a policy of honesty und integrity in business backed by an indomnltable will to win. Of the 11 merchants who met at the first conference, 10 still are members. One withdrew during the first month. Moving slow ly, carefully, but wdsely, the member ship has grown to 14. There It has stood for*some time and, according to present belief, there is no indica tion that it will grow more rapidly in the future than it has in the past. That is because, the officers explain, the city is well covered at this time by the Buy-Rite system stores, and also because of the high standard de manded by the association of pros pective members. Only Best Stores. The association adheres to Invio lable regulations governing new members. Only the heat store in a given neighborhood is eligible to Join the Buy-Rites, and then only when that store's owner has the highest reputation for honesty and integrity, Ernest- Buffett, president of the as sociation, who owns a grocery at 5015 1'nderwood avenue, told The Bee the story of Buy-Rite. To Buffett is given the credit for originating the system, and to his initial energy, oth er members agree, thn association owes much of Its success. “In order for a grocer to become a member," Buffett said, “it is first required that he be a successful iner rhant. lie must have the best store In his neighborhood. Be must he fi naneially able to pay eush for every thing he buys. He must be able to give telephone and delivery service. “This association was formed prl marlly so that neighborhood grocers could buy goods at the right price so that they could lie sold at tlie right price. “That could be dene only by pur chasing in wholesale quantities. One store could not do that. Fourteen stores can do It. The 14 stores poo! their buying and without a separate ly-maintained buying organization. Bike all our business the buying is done without overhead. Each mem ber has alloted to him certain arti cles. It is up to that memher to buy those articles In wholesale lots st the best price the market affords. This grouping is so carefully and system aticaily carried out that everything sold in a grocery or meat shop is In cluded. There is no slip up and no slop-over. It does away wilh a regie lar buying organization with a mini mum of detail to the Individual mem her. Omaha Goods Preferred. “ft Is our policy always to give preference to Omaha Jobbers and manufacturers. We buy mostly through the Jobber, who works In close harmony with us. “More overhead expense has been eliminated by avoiding the necessity of warehouse storage. When a car load of goods arrive* for u* the var lous member* send their driver* Into the railroad yards to receive tho ship ment. The goods are taken directly from the car* to the various stores and offered for sale. By splitting n carload into 14 lots great storage space is not required.'* Here Buffett pointed to one of the cardinal principle* of Buy-Rite. That Is convenience, the association'* syn •nym for service. "The modern housewife demand* convenience and thst l* what ws strlvo to give. Every woman today wants electric lights, a furnace, an electric wseher, a gas Stove, and every other convenience that go** along with tbit modern agg. A home without a bathroom Would bo a drag on the market. Con srerlencs is demanded and If that de f Officers of Buy-Rite Grocers9 Association c—i.wm- . '" 1 Kiin.st Uuffett, tieorne I.

That is, when she knows she can depend on the grocer to give the same high quality articles she would select if she virlted the store in per son That is what we do. That Js | out utmost aim. There you find i •>,• \ enience merging into satlstaetion ml when you get that combination j vm; are arriving near the goal of .success. Meet Each Monday. "Each Monday night the 14 mem bers hold a meeting. These sessions ate just like a conference of the heard of a directors of a corporation. Most of our having also is outlined when we are nil together.’’ It was suggested that the name "association" might imply a pooling of profits of the 14 stores followed hy a share and shire alike division of the net earnings. This Is not done. The stores have a co operative relationship only to the extent of rooi purchasing and mutual advance ment. The profits made by any one member belong to that member only. "We do everything we ran* td keep abreast of the grocery buslne*s and whenever possible a stride or so ahead. Each summer we select one ir two of our members to make a tour of certain sections of the coun try to study progress In the grocery industry being made in other lo calties. These members make a close j study of conditions affecting our in terests and come hark with Ideas that help Huy Hite in giving better service. "Of course tlie system inaugurated here has spread to other motions of tile country. In some Instances where similar organizations have been per fected the same name of ‘Biiy-Ilite’ has been adopted. We have copy righted the name only in the state of Nebraska which leaves merchants in other states free to make use of It. Associations In Dubuque, In,: Windsor, Ontario, and Sioux City have retained the name Buy Rite. In other eases new names have been taken, without change In the rys l tern. Many Inquiries. "We have had countless inquiries from all sections of the country re garding the system. We always try to reply promptly and adequately to all of these inquiries. "Much of our success Is directly due to consistent advertising. AVe be lieve In using the daily newspapers to tell the people what »> have. Re sults have shown that our belief Is not ill-founded." The 200 employes of the BnyTtlte organization comprise a h|g and l appy family. A high spirit of co operation pervades the organisation from floor sweeper to president. Once each year the members give to their employes an elaborate din ner dance. On these occasions every employe Is present, with all members of his or her family. Close friends of the employes ftlSo are extended It, ' vltatlons. j "The success of these sffalrs,” Pres! I dent Buffet said, "tells nn eloquent Tory of the unflagging spirit of eo operation of our co-workers.” Following are the 14 members of , the Buy Rite Stores’ association.

Omaha Jewry will celebrate the l’aeaover holidays fir eight days, starting at sunset Wednesday night. It is the custom in orthodox Jewish homes to begin a general house clean ing Tuesday morning so that late Wednesday afternoon not a dish or cooking utensil, used during the en tlrs year can be seen in the house. Instead, a complete set of dishes and cooking utensils stored away from the last Passover are brought out. During the eight days, Jews throughout the world give up the eating of bread and other staple foods used during the year for the unleavened bread, ''matzos." Hour and water This la a sort of a cracker made from flour and wa^er. The Biblical version of the origin of the matzos ■ay* that it comes from the time when the Jews were driven out of Egypt and into the wilderness. The Jews in the wilderness soon found themselves hungpy and nothing to eat but flour. This was mixed with water and placed out in the sun to | bake. Matzos this year/will sell for from ]« (o 20 cents a pound. Potato flour used during Passover week for the making of cake sells at 20 cents a pound. A variety of coffee has on its label the name of a j chief rabbi of some eastern city. The [rabbi is sup]«>sed to be in the factory while the coffee is ground and placed in the cans. Russian lea, however, is the beverage for the week. It I* used morning noon and night. Pried fruits such as silver prunes, peaches and raisins are also In great demand. Wine Permit*. Congres* has provided that each member of a Jewish family Is en titled to two gallons of wine to be used during the eight days of the Passover, for sacramental purposes only. The wine is used at the four ‘‘kidushes." . Services will be held at orthodox Jewish homes starting at sunset Wednesday when the head of the family begins to say the opening prayer. This is followed by a child, who asks the "four koshes.” or four questions pertaining to the Jewish faith. The home services end end with the singing of the "Had God Ya." The svna^ogues will hold services the first two and the last two days of the eight days of the Passover. Audubon School Election.
