CORPORATE growth
Abstract

The article presents the corporate history of F. W. Woolworth Co. Frank W. Woolworth's company has grown steadily since he opened his first store in 1878 and maintained its early dominant position in the retail field. Through partnerships with other companies, Woolworth laid the foundations for the present Woolworth Co. chains. Details related to Woolworth's foreign expansion are presented, including stores opened in Germany, Canada and Cuba. During the depression of 1929-1932, the company's policies enabled it to sustain and expand its financial position.

2. THE CHAIN STORE IN THE UNITED STATES AND CANADA.

Author

Phillips, Charles F.

Subjects
CHAIN stores, SALES, DEPRESSIONS (Economics), CITIES & towns
Abstract

The chain store is an important distributive agency in both the United States and Canada, although it has seen a somewhat greater development in the former country. During the last half of the twenties the number of chain units approximately doubled, expansion still proceeding at a rapid rate when depression set in. Although the number of units has been somewhat curtailed (but not in all fields) in the last five years, the importance of the chain as shown by its percentage of total sales has continued increase. This increase has been relatively more in the United States. In both countries development has taken place in similar fields with a significant degree of concentration in a few fields where highly standardized operation is possible, for example, the food and variety fields. Large chains, as is to be expected, are more important in the United States where many of the so-called local chains are large according to Canadian standards. The chain store in both the United States and Canada shows a decided tendency toward concentration in urban areas. [ABSTRACT FROM AUTHOR]
