ARTIFACT:
Cool 1934 Atlantic & Pacific Tea Company 75th Anniversary large celluloid employee badge. The large, orange, white, and blue badge reads: “GROWING UP WITH AMERICA FOR 75 YEARS. The center shows the company’s initials in a blue circle with an employee on either side wearing period uniforms to illustrate time, the ‘older’ on the left holds a sign that reads: “1859” and the ‘younger’ holds a sign that reads: “1934”. A&P was established in 1859 with their first corner store in New York City, today they remain one of the largest grocery companies in the Northeast.
