 And July2 writer's almanac discusses Amelia Earhart, and notes:

Fifty years ago today, in 1962, the first Walmart store opened for business in Rogers, Arkansas. It was called "Walmart Discount City." Founder Sam Walton was frugal in his personal life, and he carried that practice over to his business model. He hired as few employees as he could, paid them as little as he could, and fought to keep unions out of Walmart. He presented it as his way of making sure working-class consumers could get goods at a reasonable price.
