Caldor, Inc. was a discount department store chain founded in 1951 by Carl Bennett and his wife Dorothy. Referred to by many as the Bloomingdale's of discounting, Caldor grew from a second story “Walk-Up-&-Save” operation in Port Chester, NY into a regional retailing giant with 100 stores earning over $1 billion in sales by the time Mr. Bennett retired in 1985, after which the retailer was owned by The May Department Stores Company. It eventually was closed due to bankruptcy in February 1999.
While shopping at an E. J. Korvette store in New York City in 1951, newlyweds Carl and Dorothy Bennett had a brainstorm to open their own discount store that would be different than the average postwar discount retailer. Their vision included several factors that had served as the chain’s cornerstones of continual growth and success. Chief among these factors was an emphasis on quality of merchandise over less desirable, lower cost wares at prices 10 to 40 percent below the manufactures’ suggested list prices, along with department store level services such as well informed salespeople, merchandise guarantees, and a liberal refund policy.
Wooo.. what a trial that a gwan a Rasta yard,
Look at them a come with the machete and them gun.
Them come.. them reap what them no sow
What a gwan in the early morning a Rasta ganja field.
Come into the mountains,
Sight I and I grandfather,
Planting marijuana, naw make no war.
Come with your disrespect,
Take away I chalice, carry gone a campyard.
And when you reach the campyard,
You mash-up I kutchie,
And the whole a Rasta weed gone aboard.
You know why?
If you never sell it,
How come you could a tell I, how much a pound for it?
Hear this!
Early, early morning the man them on parade,
Run Rasta, run them a come.
Hide the barn, hide the kutchie!
Come with your disrespect,
Start boy-up I grandfather,
Haul and pull him all over.
Take away Sister Mary,
From around the fire,
Carry gone a prison ??.
Come into the mountains,
Sight I and I grandfather,
Planting marijuana, naw make no war.
I love the birds them,
The birds love the Rasta,
We reap marijuana together.
Why you come to the mountains,
Trouble I and I grandfather?
Planting marijuana, naw make no war.
We naw run, we naw run!
Adopted from King Solomon,
This marijuana, granted to the hands of black man.
Now and then we smoke it,
Another time we boil it,
Good for all sickness and pain.
Come into the mountains,
Sight I and I grandfather,
Planting marijuana, naw make no war.
Go back a station, I come to save creation,
Free marijuana at large.
Go back a station, trouble some police man,
We planting marijuana, naw make no war.
Come into the mountains,
Sight I and I grandfather.
