HAILE, ALSTON REYNOLDS is one of the progressive and representative business 
men of Daytona, Volusia County, where he is president of the Haile Grocery 
Company, which conducts a
substantial and prosperous wholesale grocery business, with establishments at 
both Daytona and De Land.
	Mr. Haile was born at Ocala, Marion County, Florida, on the 7th of 
January, 1889, and is a son of GEORGE REYNOLDS HAILE and MARGARET (ALSTON) 
HAILE, the former of whom was born at Kanapaha, near the City of Gainesville, 
Alachua County, this state, and the latter of whom was born in the State of 
Alabama. For fully twenty years past GEORGE R. HAILE has been a traveling 
salesman for the Globe Soap Company of Cincinnati, Ohio, and he and his wife 
maintain their home at Jacksonville, Florida. Their children are four in 
number, and the subject of this review is the only son. GEORGE R. HAILE is 
affiliated with the Masonic fraternity and the Knights of Pythias, and he and 
his wife hold membership in the Presbyterian Church.
	The preliminary education of ALSTON R. HAILE was obtained in the public 
schools, including the high school at Lake City, and thereafter he attended the 
University of Florida until he had attained to the age of nineteen years. He 
then entered the employ of the Consolidated Grocery Company in the City of 
Jacksonville, his original work having been in the company's warehouse, and the 
following two years having been marked by his effective service in the offices 
of the company. He next passed a year in the office of the Baker-Holmes 
Company, likewise engaged in the wholesale grocery trade at Jacksonville, and 
for the ensuing ten years he was a successful and valued traveling 
representative of Stringfellow, Padgett & Company, his assigned territory being 
Eastern Florida. When this concern opened a branch establishment at Palatka, 
this state, Mr. Haile was placed in charge of the same, and in this connection 
he continued his active and successful administration until he retired to 
engage independently in business. In the spring of 1921 he organized the Haile 
Grocery Company, of which he has since continued president and manager and 
which under his vigorous and well ordered regime has made a splendid record, 
the equipment of the company's establishments at Daytona and De Land being of 
the best order, and the facilities being adequate to meet the demands of the 
constantly expanding business.
	Mr. Haile is a Knight Templar Mason and affiliated also with the Mystic 
Shrine, besides holding membership in the Knights of Pythias. In his home City 
of Daytona he is an active and valued member of the Chamber of Commerce and the 
Kiwanis Club. He and his wife hold membership in the Presbyterian Church.
	July 12, 1921, recorded the marriage of Mr. Haile and Miss EMMA L. 
GUTHRIE, of Jacksonville, and they have a fine little son, WILLIAM G.
