Also, perhaps I should explain that the BankAmericard was mailed to all or to selected BofA depositors. As I recall, it was activated by using it, and of course the card was not as variously useful as it has become.

A Stairway to Retail Heaven (Part 2)

"The credit card wasn’t invented until 1967."

Wrong. I received, unsolicited, my first credit card in 1958 from the then San Francisco-based Bank of America. The "BankAmericard" (then so titled) morphed into Visa.

No quarrel with your basic argument, although I did wonder at your basis for choosing whom to place at "heaven's door," or as dead men walking or sick.

In particular, it has looked to me from recent 10-Qs that A. C. Moore was not near-term endangered in the slightest. What am I missing?
