When Rankin Paynter found out his local K-Mart was going out of business he bought up its entire invenotry and donated it to a local charity that helps clothe and supply the needy in his community. He could have doubled his money by selling it but instead chose to give it away.
He runs a successful jewelry exchange but remembers growing up poor. He said, “Just because they (people) are in need doesn’t make them bad people. I live in a small town. I know these people. They are good. If I can help them I do.” (I may not have quoted him exactly but got the gist of his comments.)
