    Oldham, Edwin and Louise (June 24, 2013) Oral History Interview with Edwin and Louise Oldham Morris Hill Neighborhood Association History Project LMK: Today is Monday, June 24 th , 2013, and this is Linda Morton-Keithley interviewing Eddie and Lou Oldham for the Morris Hill Neighborhood Association history project. So, the first question – when I talked with you the other day, you told me you married in 1946, and you moved to this house [620 N. Pond St. 1] in 1949. So, what I’d like to start with, if you would tell me, at that point; what was going on in your life, as a still fairly young married couple, that brought you to this particular location in Boise? LO: Well, I was about five months pregnant, I think, at the time we moved into this house. We stayed with my sister over on N. 11 th St. on Lemp. Then, we bought this place in December. I had a little gal, she was about a year and half, and then this was our second child that we were expecting. LMK: And, professionally, what was going on with you at that time? EO: First, I came to Boise from California, Santa Monica, California where we had moved from Paul, Idaho, to Santa Monica in 1942 or late ’41. I went into the service, Air Corps – they call it Air Force now – and served in the South Pacific. And, came out of the service in ’45, and went to college in Santa Monica. Her and I corresponded all that time. We came to Boise from Santa Monica, and I started working for First National Bank as a clerk, not a clerk but a clearinghouse employee.

PREDICTABILITY IN MERGER ENFORCEMENT AFTER CALIFORNIA v. AMERICAN STORES: CURRENT UNCERTAINTIES AND A PROPOSAL FOR CHANGE INTRODUCTION In the 1990 decision California v. American stores, the Su- preme Court unanimously held that divestiture is a remedy avail- able to states and private plaintiffs under section 16 of the Clayton Act. In this note, the author argues that by allowing the states to seek divestiture, the American Stores decision makes it more diffi- cult for firms complying with the federal enforcement authorities to predict whether their mergers will subsequently be challenged by state authorities. To remedy this problem, the author proposes changes

  • How Retailers Can Keep up with Consumers
    OCTOBER 2013 How retailers can keep up with consumers Ian MacKenzie, Chris Meyer, and Steve Noble The retail industry is more dynamic than ever. US retailers must evolve to succeed in the next decade. The North American retail landscape looks quite different today than it did even ten years ago. The way that consumers make purchasing decisions has dramatically altered: they stand in stores, using their smartphones to compare prices and product reviews; family and friends instantly weigh in on shopping decisions via social media; and when they’re ready to buy, an ever- growing list of online retailers deliver products directly to them, sometimes on the same day. These shifts have led a number of industry observers to forecast the end of retail as we know it. Some predict that retail will change more in the next five years than it has over the past century and that the extinction of brick-and-mortar stores isn’t far off. Our view is less dramatic, but we do believe that big changes are inevitable and that retailers must act now to win in the long term. There is historical precedent for this kind of upheaval, which recasts the industry’s winners and losers. Within the past century, local corner stores gave way to department stores and supermarkets, then to suburban shopping malls, then to discount chains and big-box retailers. Each of these shifts unfolded faster than the one that preceded it, and each elevated new companies over incumbents. Indeed, six of the ten largest US retailers in 1990 have since fallen from their positions as new winners, such as Amazon.com, Costco, and Walgreens, emerged in their place (Exhibit 1).

  • Consolidation in Food Retailing: Prospects for Consumers & Grocery Suppliers
    18 Economic Research Service/USDA Agricultural Outlook/August 2000 Special Article Consolidation in Food Retailing: Prospects for Consumers & Grocery Suppliers n recent years, the U.S. food retailing industry has undergone unprecedented consolidation and structural change through Imergers, acquisitions, divestitures, internal growth, and new competitors. Since 1996, almost 3,500 supermarkets have been purchased, representing annual grocery store sales of more than $67 billion (including food and non-food sales by supermarkets, superettes, and convenience stores). Two of the largest food retailing combinations in history were announced in 1998: the merger of Albertson’s (the nation’s fourth-largest food retailer) with American Stores (the second-largest), and the acquisition of sixth-largest Fred Meyer by first-ranked Kroger Company. The recent consolidation wave has brought together food retail- ers operating within and across regions. While many food retail- ers operate in multiple regions, none is considered truly nation- wide in scope. Of the consolidations, the Albertson’s-American Stores merger, which resulted in common ownership of super- markets reaching coast to coast (but not all regions), comes clos- est to creating a nationwide food retailer.
