| Abstract: | This paper's primary purpose is to examine one of the most important innovations in American retailing, the model stock plan, proposed by E.A. Filene in 1930. The plan provided a new way to solve previous inventory problems. The discussion is placed in the context of 'evolutionary economics'. |
