But so W often we lack courage to obey its wisdom .. because it is human to think first of ourselves.

The founders believed and acted upon this simple truth that "serving the best interests of others, brings its own reward." They lived to see this ideal blossom from a tiny seed into Ithaca's largest and most modern department store. And this ideal, alive today as ever, is responsible for the continuing growth of this great store.
