==History==
In 1915, 22-year-old Robert M. Beall Sr. opened a dry goods store in Bradenton, Florida. Investing his entire savings in merchandise, he used empty wooden packing crates as his first display tables. Because the store sold nothing for more than one dollar he called his store ''The Dollar Limit''. Following World War I inflation, in 1920 Beall renamed his store ''The Five Dollar Limit''. Business prospered during the Florida land boom of the 1920s; in a few years Beall purchased a vacant lot facing the courthouse and erected a new modern department store, which opened for Christmas, 1924. The Florida boom ended in a few years, only to be followed by the stock market crash. Hard hit and unable to pay his debts, Robert Beall lost his business to the bank. He stayed on as manager thorough the depression. By 1944 he had saved enough to repurchase it. For many years the store lived up to its motto,"We Outfit the Family for Less".
