Little know history lesson |
Back when William Penn was the governor of the area that would one day bear
his name, one of the first price wars in history broke out and it involved
two of his aunts.
They owned a bakery and were justly famous for their pies. A new rival
bakery lowered the price on their goods and started making serious inroads
on the aunt's sales.
After several weeks the aunts decided that enough was enough and lowered
their charge to less than cost, hoping they could survive long enough to
drive the upstarts out.
In no time at all the entire town was talking about,
"The pie rates of Penn's aunts."
