Kroger house brand film?

[bmattock]

This is the first time I have replyed on this forum. To clarifiy one thing Kroger is the largest food chain in the country. Alberson's is the second largerst. How ever Kroger or Fred Myer here in Boise is trying to buy Alberson's. Alberson's is based here in Boise. Enough of that. I realy enjoy this forum. I own several older and "Classic" Rangefinders along with several other cameras of different formats. I love to read and compair notes

Welcome to RFF! I hope you feel comfortable joining in any discussions here.

Best Regards,

GAF owned Ansco, and Ansco made film, if that's what you mean. GAF stood for General Aniline & Film. Strangely, there were two major aniline producers that made photographic film - GAF and Agfa. And as we all know, Agfa was a major producer of cameras sold under the Ansco brand name in the USA. What was the deal with 'aniline'?

Dyes. According to http://en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Aniline it's major use was directly or indirectly in the production of dyes. And of course the dyes allowed them to pursue their AnscoColor process that could be processed in any lab (rather than Kodachrome and the factory processing it needed.) .
