I cannot remember a time when the Golden Rule was not my motto and precept, the torch that guided my footsteps.

Intelligence is the effort to do the best you can at your particular job; the quality that gives dignity to that job, whether it happens to be scrubbing a floor or running a corporation.

Success will always be measured by the extent to which we serve the buying public.

It was always my practice to train salespeople under my direct supervision, and to treat children with the utmost consideration.

The public is not greatly interested in saving a little money on a purchase at the expense of service.

The thought in my mind was that I must be a good merchant. If I were a good merchant, the rest would probably take care of itself.

No serious-minded man should have time for the mediocre in any phase of his living.
