	TIME.com: Bounty from Britain -- Jun. 15, 1931 -- Page 1
		Woolworth and Co., Ltd., as the British unit was called, grew until last year it operated 428 "3d to 6d Stores." During most of the past two decades the earnings of the parent company have been jumping far faster than those of the British unit.
		And when last week Woolworth shares again neared their May high of $72 (remarkable because it bettered by 25¢ the 1930 high) the reason was that the accumulated reserves of the British company were to be capitalized.
		Woolworth was on his deathbed, he was pleased to know that there was a capable man to succeed him: Hubert Templeton Parson, with the company since 1892.
