His boss turned him down flat. “The idea is too risky,” he told Woolworth. “There are not enough items to sell for five and ten cents.” Woolworth went ahead without his boss‘s back, and he not only was successful in his first store, but eventually he owned a chain of F. W. Woolworth stores across the nation. later, his former boss was heard to remark, “As far as I can figure out, every word I used to turn Woolworth down cost me about a million dollars.
