and it is human nature to like to
weave a web of myr' -y about out­
standing successes despite the fact
that a few simple, properly direct-
el questions might dispel the mys­
tery at any time.
Particulary in
commercial enterprises there are
always those whose concept of their
own self-interest prompts them to
create and circulate rumors and
whisperings that are less than half­
truths or wholly false. No large con­
cern is immune from such attacks
and the question of “Who Owns
Skaggs Stores?” has been the sub­
ject of much idle speculation and
false repirt.
Skaggs stores are owned solely by
the men who are activiely engaged
in their operation—four Skaggs
brothers, and the executive heads
among the employees who have
reached certain positions and
certain requirements. Not a dollar
earned outside is or ever has been
invested in this concern since its
incorporation, nor are there any out­
standing bonds, notes or preferred
stock (which is but another way of
borrowing money) and not a single
share of common stock has ever been
sold to anyone outside the organiza­
tion.
As the second Skaggs store was
financed from the earnings of the
first store, so have succeeding
stores been financed from the prof­
its of the stores that preceded them.

ing er.lliely upon the ability and
spirit of the management and organi­
zation back of them.
To build a
closely knit organization such as
ours, ONE in mind, purpose, and
effort, requires considerable time
and more-than-ordinary understand­
ing of the variable and human ele­
ments involved.
And yet, without
such an organization, the ultimate
success of any chain stores’ venture
is at least questionable, therefore, in
the beginning we did not invite or
permit the public to risk its money
with us, and later, on the principle
that a true servant is worthy of his
hire, profits have gone to the pro­
ducers thereof, and in direct i-atio
to their efforts and ability.
Some years after the opening of
the first Skaggs store certain of the

j .1 l.vl.c- . J
that each man was entitled to par­
ticipate in the profits to the full ex­
tent of his personal efforts, and the
firm was then well established and
on its way to : access, arrangements
were made to permit these men to
buy such amourfts of stock in the
corporation as could be paid for
strictly out of funds accumulated
while In the employ of the company.
No money from outside sources was
penwit ted to be used in the pur­
chase of stock, and only amounts in
excess of annual earnings of $1509.-
00 were accepted, since it was con­
sidered that $1500.00 a year was
the minimum amount on which n
man with family could live decently.
The money thus invested by em­
ployees was used for further ex­
pansion, to increase earnings, and
care for the incoming personnel
who are rapidly developing to
managerial capacity.
Since that
time, onco each year, the various
executives who can meet the other
requirements nre offered the priv­
ilege of purchasing stock on the
above basis—a privilege of which
they can nvail themselves or not, as
they see fit, s nee the purchase of
stock in the company is in no way
a condition of their employment,
but rather, one of the perogatives
thereof.
For this reason, whenever you
meet and deal with one of the man­
agers of the more than 300 widely
scattered Skargs stores, you have
almost invariably come into con­
tact with one of the owners whose
personnl anl financial interests are
vitally concerned with the kind of
service and satisfaction you receive
in that ■tore.
