Cato-Waco Sales
Top $24 Million
CHARLOTTE, N.C. - Cato
Stores, Inc. has reported sales
for the fiscal year ended January
25, 1969, of $24,953,4 59, a 29
per cent increase over the pre
vious year.
The sales figures were releas
ed preparatory to the company’s
annual meeting of stockholders
May 27 at its offices in Char
lotte.
The firm operates 215 ladies
apparel shops and family depart
ment stores in eight southern
states under the name ofCATO’s
and WACO’S. The stores here in
Clinton are located in Clinton
Plaza and at 124 Musgrove St. in
downtown Clinton.
W. H. Cato, Jr., president,
said, “Our plans are firmly based
on our continued faith in the South
as a growing, dynamic area of the
country.”
He said that expansion plans
this year called for 50 new stores
to be in operation by late 1969
in 11 southern states. In addi
tion, middle management and su
pervisory personnel have been
beefed up for continued growth,
he said.
A young man walked into his
father’s general store on Ridge
Spring’s Main Street that morn
ing and went to work as a clerk.
He had just finished his first year
as teacher in a one-room school
house in another part of the state,
and had arrived home to help
in the store so his father could
get on with the spring planting on
the family farm.
It was his first experiences in
merchandising. He never went
back to his teacher’s job. His
name was W. H. Cato.
“I knew before the end of that
first day there was no question
about what T wanted to do {he
rest of my life,* he said in later
years.
“Times have changed. We keep
merchandising records on elec
tronic computers instead of on
the back of brown paper bags.
We have buyers and designers
searching out all the best values
and fashions all over the coun
try, instead of waiting for the
drummer to get off the train with
his sample cases. We have charge
accounts and layaway plans in
stead of taking chickens and eggs
in trade.*
“But all the new fangled gad
gets are there for only one pur
pose. That is to help to live up
to our original principle-service,
satisfaction guaranteed and
friendliness.’
Cato Stores, Inc. has grown
over the years until they now
serve customers in eight south
eastern states.
