Jumbo (magazine)

Jumbo was a weekly comic magazine published in Italy from 1932 to 1938.

The magazine was founded by Lotario Vecchi and had a large commercial success, with an average circulation of about 300,000 copies per week. It mainly consisted of British comics, starting from the title character Tiger Tim (renamed as Jumbo), a comic strip series created by Julius Stafford Baker and taken over by Herbert Sydney Foxwell. A key role in the success of the magazine was also played by Rob the Rover, an adventure comic series by Walter Henry Booth which was translated as Lucio L'avanguardista (i.e. "The young avantgarde Lucio") and whose main character was adapted as a fascist airman. It also introduced to the Italian audience several notable American comics including Rex Maxon's Tarzan and Ace Drummond. It closed after the banning of the foreign comics ordered by Fascist MinCulPop in 1938.

Notes

Jumbo (supermarket)

Jumbo is a supermarket chain in the Netherlands. It is part of the privately owned Van Eerd Group. Van Eerd was originally a grocery wholesale company, established in 1921.

History

20th century

Jan and Anita Meurs opened on October 18, 1979 the first Jumbo supermarket in a former church building in Tilburg. It was named after the elephant Jumbo as an act of one-upping the name of a local rival store called Torro, which belonged to Van Eerd. In 1983, Van Eerd bought the Jumbo store from the Meurs family and subsequently embarked on a series of expansions, first in the southern provinces, then nationwide.

2000s

As of May 2006, 77 establishments have been opened throughout the Netherlands. Together they have a market share of 3.4% in the Netherlands as of 1 January 2006. Jumbo's marketing claims that the chain has "7 certainties" with which they, among others, claim to have the greatest choice for the lowest prices.

The head office and distribution centre are situated in Veghel. Jumbo has 3 regional distribution centres: Beilen, Drachten, and Den Bosch. With the opening of Jumbo in Valthermond, Drenthe in October 2005, there is now a Jumbo in every province of the Netherlands. Until the acquisition of C1000, relatively few Jumbos were in the Randstad.

Kentucky wine

Kentucky wine refers to wine made from grapes grown in the U.S. state of Kentucky. About 45 wineries operate commercially in Kentucky, with most recent plantings focusing on Cabernet Sauvignon, Chardonnay, and Cabernet Franc. Kentucky produced over two million gallons of wine in 2011.

History

One of the first attempts at large-scale commercial viticulture in the United States started in Kentucky in 1799, with plantings by the Kentucky Vineyard Society. The relatively mild climate of Kentucky, especially in the Ohio River Valley, made Kentucky an attractive place for early American winemaking. By the mid-19th century, Kentucky was the third largest wine-producing state in the country. Prohibition in the United States destroyed the wine industry in Kentucky, and the state took a long time to recover after Repeal.
