Results of Men Who Dared to Be Different

Woolworth conceived the idea of the Five and Ten Cent store. That was different. His fortune was measured by millions when he passed away. Wanamaker, conceived the idea of one-price to everybody in his retail stores. That was different, for at the time he put this policy into effect it was directly contrary to the accepted practice throughout the country. Ford determined to build a light, cheap car for the millions. That was different. His reward came in the greatest automobile output in the world. Human progress has often depended on the courage of a man who dared to be different. (Herbert V. Prochow - Encyclopedia of Illustrations #1184).
