His father, George Huntington Hartford (1833–1917) left the control of the company’s voting stock to a trust that gave total control to John and his older brother George Ludlum Hartford who served as chairman. John, who one company historian named the “Merchant Prince”, ran the business operations side of the empire, while his brother George ran the financial side. Time magazine interviewed John and his brother George who were on their cover in November 1950. Time wrote that “going to the A&P was almost an American tribal rite”. The Wall Street Journal in an editorial on August 29, 2011 wrote “Together the brothers, neither of whom had finished high school, built what would be, for 40 years, the largest retail outlet in the world.” The New York Times in an editorial on September 7, 2011 wrote that John and George Hartford “were among the 20th century’s most accomplished and visionary businessmen.” Written in collaboration with Boyden Sparkes.
