F.W. Woolworth and the American Five and Dime

F.W. Woolworth and the American Five and Dime

Jean Maddern Pitrone

McFarland Co Inc
2007
pokkari
For more than a century, Woolworth's five and dime stores represented Americana, mirroring the country's growth, its good times and bad, its foibles and its fads. The chain was founded by Frank W. Woolworth, who in 1879 established two stores--one in Utica, New York, which failed and was closed down, and another in Lancaster, Pennsylvania, which succeeded and marked the beginning of the legacy of the Woolworth's Five and Tens. This work is a full account of the chain, its rags-to-riches founder, Frank W. Woolworth, and his flamboyant and tragic descendants. It traces the important role that Woolworth stores played in the sit-down strikes of the 1930s, the lunch counter sit-ins that began in Greensboro, North Carolina, as part of the Civil Rights movement (which tainted Woolworth's as the Big Business enemy of the downtrodden), and the gradual disintegration of the five and tens during the 1980s and early 1990s. The dramatic story is enhanced with important photos featuring such events as the closing of a Woolworth's in Germany by Nazi soldiers and the Greensboro sit-in as well as archival photos from Woolworth's 40th, 50th, and 60th anniversary booklets.

Five and Ten: The Fabulous Life of F.W. Woolworth is a biography written by John Kennedy Winkler that explores the life and legacy of Frank Winfield Woolworth, the founder of the Woolworth's chain of stores. The book delves into Woolworth's humble beginnings as a farm boy in upstate New York and his rise to become one of the most successful and influential businessmen of his time. Winkler takes readers through Woolworth's early career as a dry goods clerk, his struggles to establish his own business, and the eventual creation of the ""five and dime"" store concept that would revolutionize retail. The book also covers Woolworth's personal life, including his relationships with family, friends, and colleagues, as well as his philanthropic endeavors and impact on American culture.Through meticulous research and engaging storytelling, Winkler paints a vivid portrait of a man who embodied the American Dream, and whose legacy continues to shape the retail industry to this day. Five and Ten is a must-read for anyone interested in the history of American business and the people who shaped it.This scarce antiquarian book is a facsimile reprint of the old original and may contain some imperfections such as library marks and notations. Because we believe this work is culturally important, we have made it available as part of our commitment for protecting, preserving, and promoting the world's literature in affordable, high quality, modern editions, that are true to their original work.
F. W. Taylor
This collection focuses on Frederick Winslow Taylor (1856-1915), the initiator of 'scientific management'. Taylor set out to transform what had previously been a crude art form into a firm body of knowledge. His work is synonymous with breaking down tasks into the smallest detail, diagnosing the abilities of workers, and then fitting the two together to achieve greater efficiency. His methods have been associated with both massive increases in productivity and an obsession with control.
