Read it:
America, 1917 to 1987. A retailer takes cash at the register today and pays the supplier in thirty days. Six operators — Rose Blumkin in Omaha, Sam Walton in Arkansas, Harry Snyder in Baldwin Park, Les Schwab in Prineville, Ray Kroc in Des Plaines, Bob Kierlin in Winona — found the gap between those two dates and built inside it, because it was the only capital any of them could get. What the gap financed was real and what it could not finance was also real: a pace set by last month's receipts, a product line kept narrow because breadth costs inventory, and an owner nobody could vote out. This is an account of that arithmetic, and of the four who eventually sold shares anyway. Covers Rose Blumkin, Sam Walton, Harry Snyder, Les Schwab, Ray Kroc, Bob Kierlin, Nebraska Furniture Mart, Wal-Mart, In-N-Out Burger, Les Schwab's tire stores, McDonald's, and Fastenal.
