6．Frank Woolworth was born in Rodman，New York，in 1852．His family were very poor farmers，and there was never enough to eat．Frank decided he did not want to be a farmer．He took a short business course，and went to work as a salesman in a large city．
Woolworth realized he could attract people's interest when he sold goods（商品），but he soon learned something more important．One day his boss told him to sell some odds and ends （小商品） for as much as he could get．Frank put all these things on one table with a sign which said FIVE CENTS EACH．People fought to buy the things and the table was soon cleared．
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（量） from the factories．Once，Woolworth went to Germany and placed an order （订单） for knives．The order was so large that the factory had to keep working 24hours a day for a whole year．In this way，the price of the knives was cut down by half．
By 1919，Woolworth had over 1000stores in the US and Canada，and opened his first store in London．He made many millions and his name became famous in the world．He always runs（经营） his business according to strict rules，of which the most important was："THE CUSTOMER IS ALWAYS RIGHT．"

After graduating from college in 1932，I decided to try for a job in radio，then work my way up to sports announcer（播音员）．I took the bus to Chicago and knocked on the door of every station．But I was refused every time．In one studio，a nice lady told me that big stations didn't want to accept inexperienced persons．"Go to the countryside and find a small station that'll give you a chance，"she said．
I returned home，Dixon in Illinois．While there were no radio-announcing jobs in Dixon，my father said Smith Ward had opened a store and wanted a local sportsman to manage its sports department．Since I had played high school football in Dixon，I applied（申请）．The job sounded just right for me．But I still failed in the interview．At that moment，mom's words came to my mind："Everything happens for the best．"Dad offered me a car to look for a job．I tried WOC Radio in Davenport in Iowa．The program director，named Peter MacArthur，told me they had already hired an announcer．
As I left his office，I felt sad．I asked aloud，"How can a man become a sports announcer if he can't get a job in a radio station？"
I was waiting for the lift when I heard MacArthur calling，"What did you say about sports？Do you know anything about football？"Then he made me stand before a microphone and asked me to broadcast an imaginary game．As a result，I did a wonderful job and was told to broadcast Saturday's game!
On my way home，I thought of my mother's words again："Everything happens for the best if you carry on．One day something good will happen．"
