    Another example of retail before accountants got involved in the process. Make the best product you can, deliver the best service and then sell it at the cheapest possible price.

    Great article.

    I can't help but wonder if the grinding room created noise and how that would affect the department store. Maybe razor grinding and similar activities were done at night.
