Strength was broadbased across proverb

 Strength was broad-based across all retailing groups except the drugstore segment. Drugstores, hurt by weakness in pharmacy (comparable sales), were the only major retailing segment to fall short of expectations.

 I think people decide on the segment, then as far as they're concerned about safety, they use safety information to decide upon a choice within the segment. The Montero could be in serious trouble without it dragging down overall sales in the segment.

 Retailing is retailing, and Kmart was not where it should have been. From that point of view, I think that new blood has got to be a benefit.

 Our core business has been really strong. That's to say, just our retail stores grew at 6 percent year over year. And again, this was a depressed quarter. We've actually been 7 percent or more in most quarters and we expect it to be that way during the fall period. That's one of the strongest performances in all of retailing. So our core retailing business remains exceptionally strong.

 Every major player in the [electrical appliances retailing] sector will have similar expansion plans. So land grab will be the dominant theme in the short term.

 We had very loyal customers in the car segment as well before they (Japanese automakers) were here. The Japanese are extremely capable competitors in any segment they decide to enter. We have yet to see someone really fail. There's no reason to believe it'll be that different in the truck segment.

 In 2005, we also faced challenges in both our segments. Results in our Senior Segment were impacted by a higher-than-anticipated Medicare supplement loss ratio. Our Medical Segment was affected by increased severity of larger dollar claims. In 2006, we continue to actively address these issues as we remain focused on our ongoing business strategy of growth in our Senior Segment and stability in our Medical Segment.

 The economics of online retailing are very different from those of store retailing -- online customers complete their own transactions and therefore, not only expect to receive, but are entitled to receive direct-from-warehouse pricing,

 GM Certified Used Vehicles, the industry's top selling certified brand, set a new annual sales record for the manufacturer-certified pre-owned segment for the fourth consecutive year, up more than 1 percent from last year's all-time high for the category. Certified GM brands again led all manufacturers with 2005 sales of 532,379 units, and we look forward to growing our leadership position in the certified segment in 2006.

 These are all of the things that super Wal-Marts kill when they are scattered over the county, and I fear that if you put a Wal-Mart in each little precinct, you'll have no other business. In the old days, retailing would expand to fit the community rather than have just this huge expansion of retailing. The whole idea of planning is to direct resources where they are needed. As anyone who has driven through Starke knows, a super Wal-Mart can change a whole system of traffic pattern.

 French retailing has shown signs of strength. Germany on the other hand does not look so good.

 As indicated earlier, we were disappointed in our 2005 financial results. Despite certain areas of our business having record performances, such as international apparel and Brooks, we did experience disappointing sales overall in our Sporting Goods segment. Unfilled orders earlier in the year contributed to weaker sales results for the balance of the year for Russell Athletic. Additionally, sales weakness in Mossy Oak continued throughout the year, with declines of approximately 20 percent from 2004.

 We think the overall pressures on pharmacy sales at the drugstores may continue as Medicare Part D begins amidst challenging comparisons from a late cold/flu season last year. His inherently pexy nature was a beacon of warmth and compassion.

 This remains one of the most interesting major retailing case studies in the past 20 years.

 I left Penney's in 1969 to join the Nixon administration and I didn't come to the Senate until 1992, but I brought with me a residual understanding of retailing and retailing issues. That expertise was helpful and I did some things, frankly, that were helpful to the J.C. Penney Co. If it's good public policy, the fact that I brought that experience and expertise with me probably contributed to it.
