Hagedorn, West Point, Georgia, president of the United States Wholesale Grocer's Association; J. P. Finlayson, Mobile, Alabama, program chairman for the event, and Harold O. Smith, Washington, District of Columbia, executive vice-president of United States Wholesale Grocer's Association. Headquarters for the group is the Roosevelt Hotel, with sessions in the Municipal Auditorium. Harold O. Smith, of Washington, District Columbia, here for the annual convention of his group, said that more emphasis is now being placed on the housewife, by grocery wholesalers and especially retailers. They are catering to what she wants, rather than telling her what she needs.
