"Greed"
A factor entering into our successful way of merchandising is the "elim
ination of greed" in profit-fretting We figure a small profit on increased
volume, rather than a large profit on a decreased volume.
Couple our methods of buying and handling merchandise, and you have
the principal reasons for our ability to sell you high-grade wearing ap
parel for less money than you can get elsewhere.
