I read an autobography once where the man learned from John Cash Penney himself how to save money even in the way they tied packages up (in the day when they did that sort of thing). Valuable lessons.

The autobiography was that of Sam Walton.

I’m old enough to remember the days of shopping in Penney’s for school clothes with my mother and sisters. Our purchases were carefully wrapped in crisp paper and tied with string. I can still see that clerk whipping the string around that bundle, pulling it tight, and tying an incredibly fast and secure knot. The paper and string were saved and recycled, of course. Nobody threw anything out in those days. Everything was reusable.
