One could Google, anyway...   I'd've thought A&P likely to have had
the first carts and brown bags, though.... I suppose they might have
come up with them about the same time...   I don't remember any major
grocery stores without them, to be honest....  I was still fairly
young when we moved to MS... I remember roller skating down to the
corner store in Crawfordsville IN, though... to pick up bread or such...
I was no more than 5 there...
