Description: In 1977 members of the San Antonia Amateur Football League began work on creating a new minor league football league, they called it the American Football Association. One of the earlier amateur teams, the San Antonio Charros became one of the new league's first teams. The Charros joined five other clubs from Austin, Fort Worth, Houston, Oklahoma City, and Wichita Falls to establish the American Football Association. The team played five summer seasons with a mix of teams coming and going. The Charros won the first championship and played as the Charros until they changed names and became the San Antonio Bulls for the last two seasons.
Description: C.J. Gayfer migrated to Mobile, Alabama, from Southwold, England after the Civil War and opened a department store bearing his name in downtown Mobile in 1879. By the time of his death in 1915, Gayfer's employed 150 people, averaged over $500,000 in annual sales, and Gayfer had become well known for his philanthropy and was one of the earliest proponents of employee benefits. Gayfer's expanded into the Western Gulf States in the early '60s, and by the end of the '70s, Gayfer's was becoming one of the largest department store chains in the Southern US. The apostrophe in the company name was eventually dropped, rebranding as Gayfers until the chain's closing in 1998.
Description: Warehouse Economy Outlet, (W.E.O), Where Economy Originates, was a discount, warehouse-style supermarket concept that was developed in the 1970s by A&P, and is credited with being an industry first. The original W.E.O. opened in Pennsauken, New Jersey in 1971, and quickly became a successful venture. W.E.O. featured grocery items in their original wholesale bulk packaging at reduced prices. In 1972, A&P expanded this format to 1,500 existing A&P stores; however, the expansion failed as older stores built prior to the '50s were not large enough to stock bulk packaged goods. The tagline used in ads and worn by employees was "I won't stop trying till you say Weeeeeo!" but by 1975, A&P abandoned the concept, so I guess they did kinda stop.
