By 1919， Woolworth had over 1，000 stores in the USA and Canada， and opened his first store in London. He made many millions and his name became famous over the world. He always ran his business according to strict rules， of which the most important was： “The Customer Is Always Right.”

Soon afterwards， Woolworth opened his own store， selling goods at five and ten cents. But he had another lesson to learn before he became successful. That is， if you want to make money by selling low price goods， you have to buy them in large quantities directly from the factories. Once Woolworth went to Germany and ordered for knives. The order was so large that the factory had to keep running 24 hours a day for a whole year. In this way， the price of the knives was cut down by half.
By 1919， Woolworth had over 1，000 stores in the USA and Canada， and opened his first store in London. He made many millions and his name became famous over the world. He always ran his business according to strict rules， of which the most important was： “The Customer Is Always Right.”
