OVERWAITEA’S FIRST, NEW WEST, 1915

On Columbia Street in the Royal City of
New Westminster, Overwaitea began.

The late R.C. Kidd, founder of Overwaitea, an intense,
rather large six foot tall Irishman, whose dry humour and
genuine sincerity is thought to have attracted more
customers than did his merchandise. But, in reality, his keen
desire to give customers outstanding value, something~
extra you might say, not only brought the customers in, _
his value policy also led to creation of the company’s name.
Remember, at that time, Mr. Kidd’s specialty was Tea and
Coffee. So naturally he demonstrated his value policy with
tea. He packed eighteen ounces and charged for sixteen
ounces. And the business became known as
OVER-WEIGHT-TEA.

The company and his policy grew froma tea and coffee
business in New Westminster to a province-wide company of
forty-eight food centers. From food storés double and triple-.
the size of an average home to a complete giant supermarket,
over half a football playing field in size.

Sixty-five years.in business taught us a great deal. Add to
that the fact those sixty-five years were right here in B.C. .
And that, friends, means we know. and understand your
needs extremely well.

Your new Overwaitea embraces all the latest developments.
in the operation, such as heat reclamation which conserves
energy and makes the store noticeably more comfortable
for shopping at the same time. You'll appreciate how
merchandise is kept in prime condition throughout the
store in gleaming new counters.

Behind the scenes we are now servicing Overwaitea stores
from a new warehouse that can hold enough food to feed"
the city of San Francisco for one full week. (New warehouse
pictured below.) Our fleet of trucks can transport two
million, six hundred and sixty-eight thousand pounds at one
time — going and coming daily. One of the reasons why we
lead the field in fresh fruits and vegetables, meat and

other perishables. :

Add to our reasons for growth — two
guarantees. Unconditional Merchandise
Guarantee and Double the- Difference Pricing
Guarantee. Then add the keen desire and
dedication of happy employees who want and
know how to look after you. We are really
looking forward to bring you the finest food
values we can obtain... Which, incidentally,
may be the best you can buy. Overwaitea,
opening soon in Nelson, to serve you.

fire fighting being a glam-
