Where to Find Bargains in Goods and Footwear
The passage argues buyers should seek fresh, fast moving businesses to get good goods at low figures. It claims Gusky's handles the most business, enabling lower profit margins and better prices than smaller firms with fewer sales. It uses a bank analogy to justify why high-volume sellers offer lower percentages of profit.
