What makes a great salesman? "This little pig went to market." And the man who had more to do with getting him there ready-to-eat than anyone else began a 2K-billiondoUar meat-packing business with a modest 25 dollars. At age 14, Gustavus Swift worked in his brother's butcher shop. At 16, he bought and butchered his first heifer. At 20, he opened his first retail store. And, at 22, he was firmly launched in the wholesale meat-packing business! Swift's revolutionary ideas of merchandising changed meat markets from dark, dirty stores with meat hidden in the back to clean, light, airy places openly displaying their products. He used salesmanship to successfully alter the image of pork sausage (then thought of as "scraps"). Swift gave the product the appetizing name "Brookfield," packaged it handsomely, and advertised it extensively. Like Gustavus Swift, who believed in change and had the courage to "lead the way," the Storer stations accept the challenge of leadership. Every Storer station is different— individually programmed to fit the community it represents— but all are dedicated to public service and great salesmanship. In Detroit, Storer's great salesmen are WJBK and WJBK-TV, two important stations in an important market.
