Who We Are What W§ Offer Why We’re Here
. er_ >ears ot steady growth. at) years of conservative
building, 50 years of solid experience goes to form the back
ground for success that our buying organization has achieved in
the business of buying and merchandising. A half century of
successful service—a half century that has lifted the buying or
ganization sponsoring the Acorn Stores of North Carolna from
lowly beginnings fo pre-eminent rank among the merchandising
concern of the century.
OCR BUYING ORGANIZATION
Today our buying organization is housed in three great New
York buildings, a total of 45 floors all devoted to intensive buy
ing and merchandising of this department store chain and its
associated stores.
No merchandising organization can survive a half century
of rigorous life in our business and mercantile work, can weath
er the storms and droughts and depressions and remain unspoil
ed through periods of extreme success, without having builded
on a firm foundation. That is why the success of the Acorn
Stores, a chain of department stores, is mounting rapidly to new
heights—the men, the experience, the record of service be
hind it.
ITS SPIRI1
Into our merchandising organization has been built a spirit
that has liffed it over merchandising shoals that have wrecked
many enterprises during the 50 year span since its inception. It
is the spirit that satisfied the customer first, and not just a
passing satisfaction, but ABSOLUTE SATISFACTION. That is
the cornerstone around which we have built and are constantly
building.
It is with pride that we spe
