Minding the Store

In this reprint of a memoir that chronicles his work for the Neiman Marcus retailing enterprise from 1926 through the early 1970s, Stanley Marcus details his business philosophy and shows how it developed from the strong influence of his father. In a Credo, he provides a brief summary of his philosophy of life, and describes the controversy generated by his decision to support a group of high school students suspended from a Dallas school in 1966 for wearing long hair.
