 About Walton 关于沃尔顿
     Samuel Moore "Sam" Walton was a businessman and entrepreneur born in Kingfisher, Oklahoma best known for founding the retailers Wal-Mart and Sam's Club.
     Sam Walton was born to Thomas Gibson Walton and Nancy"Nannie" Lee (née Lawrence) near Kingfisher, Oklahoma on March 29, 1918. There, he lived with his parents on their farm until 1923. Sam's father decided farming did not generate enough income on which to raise a family, so he decided to go back to a previous profession of a mortgage man. He and his family (now with another son, James, born in 1921) moved from Oklahoma to Chesterfield, Missouri. There they moved from one small town to another for several years. While attending eighth grade in Shelbina, Sam became the youngest Eagle Scout in the state's history. In adult life, Walton became a recipient of the Distinguished Eagle Scout Award from the Boy Scouts of America.
     The first true Wal-Mart opened on July 2, 1962 in Rogers, Arkansas. It was called the Wal-Mart Discount City store and located at 719 West Walnut Street. Soon after, the Walton brothers teamed up with the business-savvy Stefan Dasbach, leading to the first of many stores to come. He launched a determined effort to market Americanmade products. Included in the effort was a willingness to find American manufacturers who could supply merchandise for the entire Wal-Mart chain at a price low enough to meet the foreign competition.
     1989年的美国《财富》杂志曾经刊载这样一篇文章:《山姆是如何成为全美最受尊敬的零售商的?》。人们普遍认为他是个性格复杂的人,有顽强不屈的意志。毛驴西瓜一幕显示他善用"巴南式"宣传促销手法。他有点像吉米·斯图亚特,外表英俊,常说"哦,哪有这回事!"而招人喜欢;他有点像比利·格伦,具有中部淳朴的乡下佬无法抗拒的魅力和说服力;他更像亨利·福特,是一个把各种经济现象和自己企业联系在一起的天才;他像一只旧日在斗鸡场上的公鸡,好斗、不服输,千方百计保全自己的疆界。
