Selling is our No. 1 job. Never get away from selling a lot of merchandise personally. The more you sell the more you learn

The men who have furnished me with my greatest inspiration have not been men of wealth, but men of deeds.

We can serve our customers well only if our buying jobs are right. You cannot sell if you haven't ordered wanted goods into your store.

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.

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

Responsibilities are given to him on whom trust rests. Responsibility is always a sign of trust.

I will have no man work for me who has not the capacity to become a partner.
