And one idea how to sell -
Keep the price cheap and folks want more.
Hundreds of stores later would tell.
Frank ran his empire from within
Then tallest building in the world,
Built with millions from five and ten.
Selling success about him swirled.
Winfield Hall was his grand estate,
Showplace to his fortune and fame.
All in all not too bad a fate
For Frank – Woolworth was his last name.

Ol’ Frank got real rich over time,
Charging folks a nickel and dime.
