  Soon after later, Woolworth opened his own store, selling five and ten cents.This is the   6   of the famous “five and ten store” But he had another lesson to learn before he became successful.That is, if you want to make   7   by selling goods at a low price, you have to buy them in large number directly from the factory.For example, Woolworth once went to Germany and placed an order for knives.The order was so large that the factory had to   8   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   9   in the USA and Canada, and opened his first store in London.He made many millions and his name became famous throughout(遍及)  10  .He always ran his business according to strict(严格的)rules, of which the most important was:“THE CUSTOMER IS ALWAYS RIGHT.”
