The mid-Atlantic states region of CFS was headed by Vice President James Cranston, who was responsible for serving approximately 80 customers. These 80 accounts were grouped into eight food districts and two vending districts. Each district was supervised by a district manager who reported either to Cranston or to a regional operating manager who in turn reported to Cranston. (An organization chart for the region appears in Exhibit 10-1.) Each of the food districts contained from 1 to 14 client accounts which were supervised by unit managers and assistant managers; the vending districts were also administered by district managers.
