Did You Know?

Henry Ford opened a commissary in Detroit, Michigan, for Ford employees only.  When he offered the five dollar a day wage, local merchants raised their prices.  He was so upset he opened a store that sold food, clothes, tools, etc. at much lower prices than other stores.

(Sounds a lot like Sam Walton)

Some argue that Mr. Ford may have had the first supermarket in the United States.
