TIDBITS® GOES SHOPPING AT SOME

FAMOUS RETAILERS, PT. 1

by Kathy Wolfe Where do North Americans spend their money? This week, Tidbits looks into the history of some of our most famous merchants. Part Two will appear next week. • In 1907, Herbert Marcus founded a new business in Dallas, Texas, with his sister Carrie Marcus Neiman and her husband. They had a large amount of money available to invest, and chose to open a top-quality clothing store, turning down an opportunity to purchase a franchise for a new fountain drink called CocaCola. Within a few weeks, the store had completely sold out of its merchandise, as wealthy Texans hurried to purchase the store’s stylish fashions. In 1913, a fire destroyed the store and all of its inventory. Seventeen days later, a temporary store opened, and in 1914, it was rebuilt, and remains the location of their flagship store. • In 1926, Neiman-Marcus became the nation’s first store to feature a weekly fashion show, held in Dallas’ Baker Hotel. Between 1942 and 1944, their sales ballooned from $6 million to $11 million. It wasn’t until 1957 that a store was opened outside the Dallas area, when they expanded to downtown Houston. It took until 1971 to expand outside the state of Texas, when the Bal Harbour, Florida store was opened. Today there are 41 Neiman-Marcus stores in 19 states. turn the page for more!

A man approached a very beautiful woman in a large department store and said, "You know, I've lost my wife somewhere here in the store. Can you talk to me for a couple of minutes?" "Why?" she asked. He replied, "Because every time I talk to a beautiful woman, my wife appears out of nowhere!"

• Founded in 1994, Old Navy had 500 stores by the year 2000. It was the first retailer to pass $1 billion in annual sales within its first four years in business. Old Navy is owned by Gap, Inc., whose founder was Donald G. Fisher, a 40-yearold real estate developer who became frustrated with his inability to find a pair of jeans that fit him. His successor Millard Drexler launched Old Navy, and named the store after a bar he had seen while walking in Paris. The first store opened in Colma, California, and within a year, 59 more stores had opened. In just eight years, there were 842 stores.

• Kroger’s, the country’s largest supermarket chain, got its start in 1883, when Barney Kroger invested everything he had, $375 (about $9,400 in today’s money) to open a grocery store in Cincinnati, Ohio. He had dropped out of school at 13 to help support his family when their dry goods store went bankrupt. He sold coffee and tea doorto-door until he was 20, when he became manager of a local grocery store. At 24, he opened the Great Western Tea Company and soon had four stores, later changing the name to Kroger’s. His success came by eliminating the middleman by providing as much of his own product as possible. In 1901, his stores were the first to bake their own bread, and three years later, they were the first to include meat departments in grocery stores. Years later, in 1972, Kroger was the first grocery store to test electronic scanners. Today, there are 2,600 stores in 34 states, generating annual sales of close to $100 billion.

• Leon Leonwood Bean was a passionate outdoorsman who enjoyed tramping through the Maine woods. In 1911, after returning from several hunting trips with cold and wet feet, he hired a local shoemaker to stitch leather uppers to a rubber boot. He called his creation the Maine Hunting Shoe, and the following year he began manufacturing the boots in the basement of his brother’s clothing store. turn the page for more!

Helping Hand

Tools 4 life By DR. Jim coyle CommuniCation is a full Course meal

Research has shown the first words we speak can set the table for a good or bad meal of communication. “Pleasing words are like honey. They are sweet to the soul and healing to the bones.” Proverbs 16:24 Research has also demonstrated the last words we leave on the plate can have a lingering effect as they sink into the mind of the hearer. “Let your words be few.” Ecclesiastes 5:2 Once we realize the tremendous impact we can have in the beginning and the end of an interaction, we can help control the outcome of the communication process. Here are a few utensils we can use to help serve the best meal. Begin each conversation with a compliment. If we can start off with an honest and positive reflection of something or someone that is relevant to the conversation, we have served the first course as a wonderful appetizer. When the conversation is coming to a close, offer a genuine appreciation for the interaction. This will leave a good taste with the parties involved. We have all experienced a form of food poisoning at some time in our life and the uncomfortable after effects. Bad communication can have the same effects as we wrestle with the sharp pains and cramps. Let’s be as proactive as we can in our daily interactions. Be complimentary and grateful for every meal.

• Bean marketed his boots by mailing flyers to hunting license holders, and was quickly inundated with 100 orders. Unfortunately, he experienced quality issues when the rubber bottoms separated from the leather tops. Ninety out of 100 pairs were returned. Bean borrowed money to refund each pair 100% and to correct the problem. • By 1934, L.L. Bean had moved into a 13,000-sq.-ft factory and was close to the $1 million sales mark. His three-page flyer had grown into a 52-page catalog. More than 70% of Freeport, Maine’s mail was generated by L.L. Bean. In 1951, L.L. Bean “threw away the keys” to his store, changing operating hours to 24 hours a day, 365 days a year. Their current 220,000 sq. ft. store continues the same hours, greeting more than three million visitors annually. The same 100% guarantee continues as it has from the day L.L Bean opened his company. Annual sales now exceed $1.5 billion. • Rowland Hussey Macy opened four dry goods stores between 1843 and 1855, all of which, unfortunately, failed. Macy made the move to New York City in 1858 and opened a store on Sixth Avenue. His first day’s sales were $11.08 (about $301.47 today). Macy’s moved to a new store in 1902, a building that is now a National Historic Landmark. The annual Macy’s Thanksgiving Day Parade started in 1924, with its trademark giant balloons making their debut in 1927, with Felix the Cat as the first. By 1933, more than a million people lined the parade route. As popularity grew, more balloons were added – Mickey Mouse in 1934, Superman in 1939, Popeye in 1976, and Hello Kitty in 1976. High winds on Thanksgiving Day, 1997, pushed the Cat in the Hat balloon into a lamppost, with the resulting debris striking a spectator, fracturing her skull, and leaving her in a coma for a month. turn the page for more!

The marathon’s distance was changed in 1908 to its current length of 26 miles 385 yards. * On April 14, 1918, six days after being assigned to the Western front, pilot Douglas Campbell from the U.S. First Aero Squadron engages in America’s first aerial dogfight with enemy aircraft. By the end of May, Campbell had shot down five enemy planes, making him the first American to qualify as a “flying ace” in World War I. * On April 16, 1943, Albert Hoffman, a Swiss chemist working at the Sandoz pharmaceutical research laboratory, accidentally consumes LSD-25, resulting in unusual sensations and hallucinations. Widespread use of the so-called mind-expanding drug began in the 1960s. * On April 15, 1967, a massive parade to protest Vietnam War policy is held in New York.

• Born in 1899 to Russian immigrants, Eddie Bauer lived in a log cabin on Orcas Island, Washington, off the northwestern coast. Eddie learned to hunt and fish on the island at a young age. Dropping out of school after the eighth grade, he took a job at a Seattle sporting goods store as an errand and stock boy. Here he learned how to make fishing poles and lures, and how to refinish golf clubs and tennis rackets. By age 18, he was a department manager and was in charge of the front window displays. • At 21, Eddie branched out on his own, renting a tiny space for $15 a month, naming his business “Eddie Bauer’s Tennis Shop,” where he intended to string rackets during the summer, while still leaving time for his beloved hunting and fishing during the colder months. A brisk business enabled him to expand his shop the following year, to which he added equipment for fishing, trapping, and golfing.

Come to us 1st and last for the best price! A True K-Mart Blue Light Special One night in the K-Mart eatery there was a young girl named Jo, working and trying to make sales for this particular department. On this particular evening, while working in the eatery Jo had pieces of chicken to sell through on the Blue Light Special. So Jo proceeded to get on the intercom and start to announce the "Attention K-mart shoppers I have a Blue Light Special back in the eatery where I have my thighs for a quarter a piece, my breasts for a quarter a piece, my legs for a quarter a piece and the wings for a quarter a piece. So come on back and enjoy this Blue Light Special." Not realizing until it went over the air waves what she had said on her Blue Light Special that is was too late to take back her special. So be careful of what you might advertise on a Blue Light Special, someone may take you up on the SALE!!

• Bauer became famous in 1942 when the U.S. Army Air Corps commissioned him to create a jacket to keep World War II pilots warm at high altitudes, a parka that was to become known as the Bomber Jacket. Eddie Bauer also supplied backpacks, pants, and sleeping bags, which were standard issue for American troops. More than 50,000 flight parkas and 100,000 sleeping bags were sold to the armed forces. Eddie Bauer was the first independent company that the U.S. Army allowed to use their own logo on an Army-issued uniform. • After the war, Eddie Bauer created a catalog that was mailed to 14,000 soldiers who had worn his products during their service. His mail order business was an immediate success, and he added women’s clothing to his catalog. By 1949, the company had 125 seamstresses. • Over the next several years, Bauer continue to invent clothing for extreme weather conditions. During the 1950s, he outfitted several expeditions, including a 1953 climbing expedition to the top of K2 and several journeys through Antarctica. He developed parkas with a rip-stop nylon shell for climbers scaling Gasherbrum, the world’s 11th highest mountain. Jim Whittaker, the first American to reach the summit of Mt. Everest, was also outfitted in Eddie Bauer outerwear. • Eddie Bauer sold his interest in the company in 1968 and retired, taking up dog breeding, and enjoying the great outdoors as he had his entire life. The company continued to prosper, partnering with the Ford Motor Company in 1983 to manufacture Eddie Bauer Ford Limited Edition vehicles.

I just got lost in thought. It was unfamiliar territory.

Home Instead Senior Care Proudly Presents

Senior News Line By Matilda Charles

Why We’re Not Retiring Complaints about boomers taking (or staying in) jobs go back for years. Critics became more vocal when the recession came along. We were supposed to retire and make room for the next generation to take the slots we’d been occupying. But we’re still hanging in there, often past the typical retirement age. There are a few reasons why many of us seniors are still working, often at part-time jobs. We don’t need a fulltime paycheck because we have Social Security. But we need the extra cash because Social Security isn’t enough. (A recent survey showed that two-thirds of us are uncertain about having enough money in retirement.) But some of the jobs we’re “hogging” are upper management, which serves to block those in middle management from moving up. One thing to be considered: As long as we’re fully employed, we’re not collecting Social Security, we’re paying into it. Some of us are holding on to our jobs because there’s no way to cut back on the hours. What we do doesn’t lend itself to being part-time. Or perhaps we didn’t save enough for retirement, or we just like working. One factor in the equation: We’re not being pushed out by employers. They want us because we’re reliable. That’s often enough for an employer to hire or keep us. We’re productive. And we are the talent pool that serves as the glue in many industries. To be considered: We’re not job hoppers. If we’re employed, we generally stay ... unlike many in the younger generations who move from job to job, using that as a way to climb the ladder. That’s what they know, and staying put is what we know. (c) 2015 King Features Synd., Inc.

A six-year-old ran up and down the supermarket aisles shouting frantically: "Marian, Marian!" Finally reunited with his mother, he was chided by her: "You shouldn't call me 'Marian.' I'm your mother" "I know," said the child, "but the store is full of mothers."

SEARS & ROEBUCK

• Back in 1886, Richard Sears worked as a station agent for the railroad in Minnesota. On the side, he sold lumber and coal to the locals for extra cash. When a shipment of watches for The signcommunity’s said “eight items or less”. Sowas I changed my the jeweler refused, Sears bought them himself and sold name to Les. -- Steven Wright them to other station agents along the railroad line. He ordered another batch of watches, which he promptly sold and soon after, he established the R.W. Sears Watch Company in Minneapolis. • Within a year, Sears moved his business to Chicago. Badly in need of an assistant, he ran a classified ad in the newspaper for a “watchmaker with references who can furnish tools.” A young man named Alvah Roebuck answered the ad, and soon the pair, both in their twenties, established what would become America’s leading retailer. • The first Sears catalog was published in an 80-page circular 1.1888, What magazine hailed L.L. Bean as that “The catered especially to farmers, who could purchase Merchant ofmuch the Mainecheaper Woods?” by mail than supplies their rural general store. Six years 2. from W hich retailer regularly features “$1 flip-flop later, the Sears catalog was 322 pages, and day”?offered bicycles, farm implements, furniture, saddles, sewing machines, and sporting goods. In 1905, a person could even buy an automobile from the Sears catalog. • In 1893, after six years in business, Sears’ annual sales exceeded $400,000. Just two years later that number had grown to $750,000.
